Any publication with insurgents and terrorists in its title is certain to attract a certain amount of attention these days, but a 2003 book by James S. Corum and Wray R. Johnson deserves to be noticed on its merits alone. "Airpower in Small Wars: Fighting Insurgents and Terrorists" analyzes more than 20 conflicts — from European colonial wars in the early 20th century to the American interventions in Latin America during the 1980s — to draw important and timely observations about the uses and abuses of air power against a diverse range of insurgencies.
