Robert Taber's book The War of the Flea, though written in the early 1960s, still is compelling and persuasive in proving why guerrilla war is successful. Additionally, it points out that counterinsurgency can work by using the tactics and goals of insurgents. Examples from many conflicts are used and provide a clear guide to using tactics different than conventional war. As the needs and hopes of native people are considered and respected the guerillas gained more support. Those leaders who ignored the importance of the security of the native people found their support continually diminish. This is a good companion to Learning to Eat Soup with a Knife; Countereinsurgency Lessons from Malaya and Vietnam by John A. Nagl
