Is an insurgent an insurgent?

Wilf,

Well I have the 1991 Faber re-print of the 1972 Edition, with a new introduction.

Just checked I have the 1972 edition; which rather ages me now. Actually I purchased the book before university and when the UK was in such a state some thought the army would mount a coup.

Slap,

I think your linked review: http://www.hartford-hwp.com/archives/27/054.html reflects the liberal / left view that the military wanted to play a far more active role internally. His writings were certainly controversial - in the UK - when written; note the context then was Northern Ireland primarily, plus the Miners Strike and more.
