SECTION I. Background Reading: Theory, Philosophy, Policy

1.Bacevich, A. J., et al. American Military Policy in Small Wars: The Case of El Salvador. 

Washington, D.C.: Pergamon-Brasses, 1988. Prepared by four active-duty U.S. Army officers who spent the 1987-88 academic year as National Security Fellows at Harvard University. This small book has a number of things of great importance to say, many of which can be applied on a broad basis.

2. Barnett, Frank R., Dover, B. Hugh and Schmaltz, Richard H., Esd. Special Operations in U.S. Strategy. Washington, D.C.: National Defense University Press, 1984. 

This volume consists of papers and discussions presented at a conference made up of representatives from the military, government, academia and the media. It provides an excellent survey of the complex issues facing policy makers and the special operations community.

3. Barnett, Frank R. and Lord, Carnes, Eds. Political Warfare and Psychological Operations: Rethinking the U.S. Approach. Washington, D.C.: National Defense University Press, 1989. 

Likewise based on a NDU symposium, this book sets out to discover how the U.S. can better compete in the sort of political struggle that often characterizes international relations today.

4. Collins, John M. Green Berets. Seals and Spetsnaz: U.S. and Soviet Special Military Operations. Washington, D.C.: Pergamon-Brassey's, 1987. (356.167) 

This book was originally prepared by the Congressional Research Service as a committee print for the Special Operations Panel, Armed Services committee, U.S. House of Representatives. One of its annexes, titled "The Essence of Special Operations, " deserves particular attention.

5. Klare, Michael T. and Kornbluh, Peter, Eds. Low Intensity Warfare: Counter. insurgency, Proinsurgency and Antiterrorism in the Eighties. New York: Pantheon Books, 1987. (355.0355) 

A certain portion of the population of the U.S. casts a jaundiced eye on the buildup of special operations forces, and a number of their spokespersons can be read here. Though the authors of this volume have conducted a great deal of research, at least some of their conclusions are questionable. This is an important book in that it represents a significant opposing viewpoint.

6. Rice, Edward E., Wars of the Third Kind: Conflict in Underdeveloped Countries. Berkeley: University of California Press, 1988. 

Though not a complete survey of insurgency/ counterinsurgency by any means, it is an excellent primer on the subject.

7. O'Neill, Bard E., Alberts, D. J. and Rossetti, Stephan J., eds. Political Violence and Insurgency: Comparative Approach. Arvada, CO: Phoenix Press, 1971. 

A very useful collection of readings, this book combines theory with historical examples.

8. Sarkesian, Sam C., Ed. Revolutionary Guerrilla Warfare. Chicago: Precedent Publishing, 1975. (355.02148) 

Dr. Sarkesian is one of the leading academicians with an interest in guerilla warfare. This book is a compendium of the writings of important "does and thinkers " from Sun Tzu to Carlos Marighella.

9. Sun Tzu. The Art of War 

The foundations of doctrine, strategy and tactics of special operations are found in this 2400 year old Chinese classic. Several English translations are available, and some are listed here: 

Tao Hanzhang. Sun Tzu's Art of War: The Modern Chinese Interpretation. new York: Sterling Publishing Co., 1987. 

Sun Tzu: The Art of War. translated and with an introduction by Samuel B. Griffith. New York: Oxford University Press, 1963 

"Sun Tzu Said," in The Superstrategists by Col . John R. Elting, U.S.A. (Ret). New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1985, pp 226-256. (355.02) 

"Sun Tzu: On the Art of War," translated by Lionel Giles, in Roots of Strategy. Harrisburg, PA: Stackpole Books, 1985, pp. 13-63. (355.43) 

Much of the military theory represented in the writing of Mao Tse Tung is adapted from the distilled experience represented by Sun Tzu 's writings. Sun Tzu was a contemporary of Confucius and used much the same aphoristic writing style. The oldest military work known, the thirteen chapters of the The Art of War are an essential starting point for an understanding of special operations.

10. Mao Tse-Tung. On Guerrilla Warfare. Translated and with an introduction by BG Samuel B. Griffith, USMC (Ret). New York: Praeger, 1961. (355.0214) 

This is one of he essential books in the field of special operations. Its tenets have guided leaders and strategists in dozens of countries.

11. Guevara, Che. Guerrilla Warfare. Lincoln, NEE: University of Nebraska Press, 1985. (355.425) 

Here is one practitioner's explanation of the "Foci Theory" of guerrilla warfare, which worked acceptably under one set of circumstances and failed miserably in others, eventually leading to the good doctor's death in Bolivia. Still, some hare-won lessons are passed alongfor those willing to winnow wheat from chaff.

12. Linebarger, Paul M.A. Psychological Warfare. 2d ed. New York: Duell, Sloan and Pearce, 1954. (355.42) 

One of the basic textbooks on psychological operations, Linebarger's book is timeless in its application.

NOTE:: A long-running and occasionally acrimonious debate involving the capabilities, size and command and control of he special operations community has gone on for most of this decade. The best coverage of The debate has appeared in various magazines. Some of the most important articles are listed here.
