Guerrillas: Journeys in the Insurgent World Book

Informative and educating, though sometimes it drags on with quite a bit of meaningless detail. I've come to expect this from the kind of journalism meant to be entertaining enough like regular television, that it might more likely keep the masses reading and watching.

The first few chapters are of the most important educating use to me. The rest gets bogged down by too much detail (both graphic and personal), paces like the speed of guerrilla conflict, and resolves itself to focus less on functions and uses (practical information on the goings-on), and more on quotes and physical details.

Beyond Ch. 3 it is definitely not as necessary to read for those interested in learning about guerrilla. These first few are hopeful and the core of a movement. And the rest, when readers skim the small stuff, is about the many challenges to that original ideal, and how individuals, groups, and movements as a whole, adapt to the changing environment.
