IDA Publications on Irregular Warfare: A Bibliography 2000 - Fall 2008
Abstract
Since 9/11, a body of analytical perspective and expertise on irregular warfare and associated topics has arisen at IDA, influencing the work of colleagues, sponsors, and customers who seldom, if ever, are able to peruse the full range of what is presented. The purpose of this annotated bibliography is to (1) convey the kinds of data related to irregular warfare that have been collected and analyzed by IDA research staff, (2) depict the growing body of knowledge resident at IDA, and (3) illuminate IDA's capabilities for future work in irregular warfare. The term irregular warfare had only come into common use recently, and most analysts had seen irregular warfare as a broad and diverse topic. However, over time and with greater use, DoD has been moving towards formalizing the term, and this helped the author of this publication to discern and refine the scope of his effort. The author reviewed IDA final publications, dating from 2000 to the fall of 2008, and solicited potential candidates from other IDA analysts as well. The final compilation was reviewed by IDA staff members with backgrounds in irregular warfare and associated topics.
