Here's another '60s era study on insurgency/counterinsurgency; this multi-volume series is from the Center for Research in Social Systems.

...The series contains descriptive and analytical accounts covering a total of 57 cases of insurgency and counterinsurgency occurring in the 20th century...

...The purpose of the project was to enlarge the body of knowledge about insurgency and especially counterinsurgency by empirical study of actual historical cases. From a sample of about 150 cases, 57 were selected according to criteria governing time, definition, occurrence of military operations, analogy, and feasibility. Persons of academic and professional background were then selected to study individual cases according to a standardized methodology (described in the Technical Appendlx). The individual studies were written in a format covering background, insurgency, counterinsurgency, and outcome and conclusions, followed by notes and bibliographic material. The studies have been grouped geographically in three volumes to form casebooks on the subject of internal conflict.

Note: These are large, slow-loading pdf files.

George Washington University, August 1962, Guerrilla Warfare Readings

The articles presented in this memorandum, together with the selections in the book Modern Guerrilla Warfare, will give the reader a comprehensive cross-section of the many facets of guerrilla warfare. These articles were originally scheduled to be reprinted in the book cited but had to be excluded for a number of reasons--primarily because of space limitations.

The first two readings are a concise review of guerrilla warfare from ancient times to the present....

The next three readings are devoted to Soviet guerrilla activities against the Nazis during World War II and to current Soviet emphasis on this form of warfare....

The last five readings are concerned with counterinsurgency procedures and policies for the future....
