    Cover of Invisible armies

    Invisible armies

    Max Boot · 2012

    As fitting for the 21st century as von Clausewitz's "On War" was in its own time, "Invisible Armies" is a complete global history of guerrilla uprisings through the ages.

    What Hacker News says

      I have found books from Jon Evans very delightful and interesting to read:

      1) Beasts of New York – http://www.beastsofnewyork.com/

      2) Invisible Armies (thriller, drama, computer hacking) – http://www.rezendi.com/invisibleArmies.htm

      Both books have their digital edition freely downloadable as well.

      Pinker is arguing big picture, and what he says is true, but when I say "we see the use of actual force happen more and more" I mean the number of times the use of force is made as a decision is increasing, not that the overall force used is increasing. If I had said that, it would be false. I did not say that.

      Here's my last comment. You linked to a book. (thanks). Here's one for you. https://www.amazon.com/Invisible-Armies-History-Guerrilla-Wa...
