The Irregular Warfare Institute curated a list of twelve books on irregular warfare sourced from recommendations within the IWI community. These books cover everything from foundational theories of irregular warfare to gripping historical accounts. They’ve even thrown in a novel as a palate cleanser from some of the more technical or academic selections.

The goal is to appeal to a broad audience, which is in line with IWI’s mission to bridge the gap between scholars studying irregular warfare and practitioners implementing it on the ground. To that end, all the books listed underscore the case that irregular warfare is a persistent and powerful form of conflict that our adversaries are actively leveraging to undermine US national security interests.
