Adapting to Win: How Insurgents Fight and Defeat Foreign States by Noriyuki Katagiri

Robert J. Bunker, Claremont Graduate University

Abstract

Adapting to Win is written by Dr. Noriyuki Katagiri, a political sci- entist, who presently teaches at the Air War College. It is derived from his 2010 dissertation “Evolving to Win: Sequencing Theory of Extra-systemic Warfare” at the University of Pennsylvania. The book represents over five years of research and study on this topical area and benefits from a great deal of support, including fellowships – in both the United States and Japan.
