What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Since 1945 nations have spent vasts amounts of money on sophisticated military hardware such as high-tech airplanes, missiles, tanks and ships. Yet it has been the guerrilla fighter who has presented the greatest threat to emerging states. In the 1940s, 50s and 60s the terms "guerrilla" and "communist" became almost synonymous. The West found itself fighting communist insurgencies in Asia, Africa, Latin America and even Europe itself. However, during the 70s and 80s a new trend has emerged. Guerrillas have been operating to overthrow communist governments in power in Nicaragua, Angola and Afghanistan. Guerrilla warfare still plays a significant part in world affairs. During the last decade the Soviet Spetsnaz, US Special Forces, Rhodesian Selous Scouts and British SAS have developed their own techniques to counter guerrilla forces. This book tells the story of guerrilla and counter-guerrilla operations throughout history - from Roman legions fighting Barbarian guerrillas to the modern SAS taking the war to the guerrillas. The book looks at the men, the tactics and the weapons of these guerrilla wars.
