Description
Guerrilla warfare that uses communications networks and strategic strikes to demoralize and exhaust conventionally superior militaries is what Colonel Thomas Hammes calls fourth-generation warfare. It is what American forces encounter in Iraq and Afghanistan, and Israelis find in Palestine. It is the way of the future.
