Synopsis
In the category of least-coveted jobs in America, serving as General David Petraeus's Senior Counterinsurgency Advisor in Iraq has to be near the top of the list. Let us all give thanks to David Kilcullen for not only filling that role but excelling in it. Kilcullen is changing the way the "war on terrorism" is being fought by demonstrating that America's mere participation in such a conflict marks a resounding victory for the opposition, whose overall goal is to develop and nurture anti-American sentiments around the globe and create more "accidental guerrillas," insurgents who resist the presence of intruders, but are otherwise non-combative. Kilcullen concisely analyzes the United States' current military strategy in relation to the myriad of conflicts taking place worldwide, in the Middle East, Pakistan, the Philippines, Chechnya, and various locales in Africa, which need to be evaluated and linked in order to determine the extent of their impact. According to him, America's military actions of the past decade have conflated local and global hostilities, in turn creating the intimidating military complexity of our current situations in Iraq and Afghanistan and exacerbating global hostility towards the United States.

Industry Reviews
"[A]s Kilcullen explains, anything done to win over the population [in the Middle East] is really an offensive move....The Iraq war has been al-Qaida's greatest success, nurturing anti-Americanism around the globe and dragging Western soldiers into Muslim nations where their outdated tactics will inadvertently serve to recruit increasing numbers of local, accidental guerrillas."
(03/11/2009)

"THE ACCIDENTAL GUERRILLA is a master class in counterinsurgency from a man who, as much as anyone, is responsible for recent successes in Iraq."
(03/14/2009)

"THE ACCIDENTAL GUERRILLA is not an easy book...., [but it] is essential....What is needed, [Kilcullen] points out, is to develop strategies that deal both with global terrorism and conflicts at the local level."
(04/26/2009)

"There is so much interesting material worth reading in this book....[Kilcullen] tells many good stories and his analysis is never less than rigorous, and also properly set in the relevant political contexts..."
