I consider this book to be a must-have reference. As a career operations research analyst, it is a real practitioner's guide to unconventional conflict. Even more importantly, an analyst can find important information in this book for any sub-element required of unconventional modeling. ... This book stands as an excellent example of the complexities in unconventional conflict. (William P. Fox, Interfaces, Vol. 47 (5), October, 2017)
