Reality: Combating Unrestricted Warfare


My colleague, Dancho Danchev:

It's February, 1999, and two senior colonels from China's PLA, namely Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui depressed the world's military thinkers by coming up with a study on the future developments and potential of asymmetric warfare in a surprising move next to the overall.

The study itself entitled "Unconventional Warfare" [.pdf] is an ugly combination of Sun Tzu's 3D perspective on warfare in combination with guerrilla approaches to achieve one of Sun Tzu's most insightful quotes - "One hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the most skillful. Seizing the enemy without fighting is the most skillful."

Much more here.
