This is an outstanding book relating to the future of non-traditional (asymmetric) warfare. Kilcullen draws upon extensive firsthand experience as well as copious amounts of primary source discussion and material to map out his view on the changing nature of war. Focusing upon four main themes: population growth, urbanization, littoralization and connectedness, he concisely and clearly identifies the impact of demographic and technological change on how the future asymmetric threat will manifest itself. A must read for any who have a role in urban and military planning and development.
