Cover design by Nick Frank. Dynamic tinted photography to the cover of this scarce edition of the classic study of guerilla warfare, which would go on to become a standard reference on counterinsurgencies for the US military. Journalist Taber, rumored by many to be employed by the CIA, interviewed Fidel Castro in the Sierra Maestra mountains for CBS News in 1957 and may have even crossed paths with Lee Harvey Oswald (both men were members of the Fair Play for Cuba Committee).
Tight, square, uncreased spine. There is a former seller label to the inside back cover and a few instances of former owner notes and underlining throughout text. Some light shelf-wear, including a two-inch crease to front cover. 160 pp. Featured Rare & Collectible.

Citadel Press, 1970. Hardcover. New/New. Author: Robert TaberPublisher: Citadel PressBinding: HardcoverISBN: 9780806502250Release Date: 1970Number Of Pages: 281Details: In Hollywood's wildest years, a precocious beauty from Brooklyn, with an unruly mop of hair over one eye, burst on the scene to become an overnight star. In a brief period of time she made twenty-six pictures, became one of the country's top box-office attractions, and then disappeared. After twenty years of rumors, the same girl made headlines when she was "rediscovered" as a waitress in a New York restaurant. Now she makes perhaps the boldest headlines of all with this book--for these are the uninhibited reminiscences of Constance Ockleman, who was made by Hollywood into Veronica Lake.

The War of the Flea analyzes guerilla warfare as a strategy of persistant, small attacks that wear down a larger, conventional enemy.

The book illustrates both theory and historical examples particuarly the use of time in protracted struggles.
