Bard O'Neill on Insurgency, Terrorism and the Iraq War
Continued | Back to part 2
Q: You mentioned Vietnam, and it seems to me that the Tet Offensive was a big signal that it wasn't going to be about guerrilla attacks, but there was a move into conventional war and the U.S. and South Vietnamese forces were more vulnerable to conventional war than they thought.

Bard E. O'Neill, a former Air Force officer and now a professor at the National Defense University, teaches future military leaders about insurgencies and is the author of "Insurgency & Terrorism: Inside Modern Revolutionary Warfare," a new edition of which will be published in 2005. The book is a meticulous analysis of the types of insurgencies, their goals and strategies, and why they succeed or fail. We talked with Professor O'Neil two days after the 2004 election to find out what the history of insurgencies tells us about the American dilemma in Iraq.
