Counterinsurgency A Symposium, April 16-20, 1962

This April, 1962 symposium was held at a time when Kennedy Administration officials were focusing increasingly on the growing communist insurgency in Vietnam and on the verge of radically expanding the numbers, roles, and types of U.S. military forces in that country. The purpose of the symposium was to distill lessons and insights from past insurgent conflicts that might help to inform and shape the U.S. involvement in Vietnam and to foster the effective prosecution of other future counterinsurgency campaigns.Hosmer, Stephen is the author of 'Counterinsurgency A Symposium, April 16-20, 1962', published 2006 under ISBN 9780833039835 and ISBN 0833039830.
