Resisting Rebellion

An intelligently written and easily readable work that is likely to become a standard text on counterinsurgency.... A valuable addition to anyone's self-directed professional military education and should be studied by all policymakers, military officers, and senior noncommissioned officers.

~Joint Forces Quarterly

Joes has written a well-researched guide to counterinsurgency to show that with an intelligent strategy based on historical lessons America can fight and win asymmetrical conflicts.

~Journal of Conflict Studies

Joes' research provides a detailed basis for Army officers to gain an understanding and historical appreciation to enhance individual analysis of the current operations from the tactical level to the strategic level.

~Military Review

His thoughtful and informative analysis provides a useful basis for a comparative perspective that has been largely absent from many of the assessments of the guerrilla war in Iraq and America's counterinsurgency policies.

~Perspectives of Politics

"Offers useful historical background for analysts and policymakers who are grappling with these same questions as they seek to counter globalized Islamist insurgencies in far-flung places ranging from the ungoverned spaces of the Sahal to the archipeligoes of Indonesia and the Philippines."
