Beginning with the first insurgencies in the ancient world- - when Alexander the Great discovered that fleet nomads were harder to defeat than massive conventional armies -- Max Boot, best-selling author and military advisor in Iraq and Afghanistan, guides readers from the Jewish rebellion against the Roman Empire up through the horrors of the French-Indochina War and the shadowy, post-9/11 battlefields of today. Relying on a diverse cast of unforgettable characters -- not only Mao and Che but also the legendary Italian nationalist Giuseppe Garibaldi, the archaeologist-turned-military commander T. E. Lawrence, and the "Quiet American" Edward Lansdale, among others -- Boot challenges conventional thinking about unconventional combat. The result is a comprehensive and deeply important work on nontraditional warfare.

Max Boot is one of America's leading military historians and foreign-policy analysts. The Jeane J. Kirkpatrick senior fellow in national security studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, he is the author of two-widely acclaimed books: The Savage Wars of Peace: Small Wars and the Rise of American Power and War Made New: Technology, Warfare, and the Course of History, 1500 to Today.

Mr. Boot is also a contributing editor to The Weekly Standard and the Los Angeles Times, a blogger for Commentary and a regular contributor to the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times and many other publications. He has advised military commanders in Iraq and Afghanistan, and his books have been assigned reading by the military services. Mr. Boot was a senior foreign policy adviser to the McCain campaign in 2007-2008 and a defense policy adviser to the Romney campaign in 2011-2012. Invisible Armies: An Epic History of Guerrilla Warfare from Ancient Times to the Present was released by W.W. Norton & Co. last month.

Max Boot holds a bachelor's degree in history, with high honors, from the University of California, Berkeley and a master's degree in history from Yale University.

Copies of the book will be available for purchase and signing.
