An interesting publication (in French) about a perhaps underrated (or forgotten?!) French COIN expert - "The concept of subversive warfare has
once again come to resemble the one
that had been paradoxically advocated
by many leaders of the 18th century: to
defeat the enemy without fighting,” according to
Jacques Hogard. This French military officer belongs
to the generation of lieutenants and captains who
had fought against the already well-established phenomenon that reached its climax during the Cold
War and has since been, in his words, “adopted by
all modern barbarians.” To his credit, he reviewed the
subject coldly and in its entirety, in order to better
defeat it."
