Cross (a former chief instructor and commandant at the British Jungle Warfare School and now the official historian of the Royal Nepal Army) combines military history, tactical analysis, and personal reflection in order to distill lessons for the conduct of jungle warfare. Following discussion of conventional warfare in jungle terrain in World War II, he discusses the development of unconventional tactics and strategy from the end of World War II through British fighting in Borneo in the 1960s and French and American wars in Indochina during 1948-76.
