Unconventional Warfare (Full Frame)

short description is not available

The Trojan Horse, Hannibal's elephants and small-pox riddled corpses are just a few of the ingenious ploys used in battle through the ages. For all the brutality of war, battles are usually fought with both sides adhering to strict codes of conduct. Not surprisingly, these rules generally favor the better-equipped, better-trained and larger force. But throughout history, resourceful generals and desperate soldiers have frequently resorted to tactics that fall outside the accepted norms of warfare in attempts to triumph over superior foes. Some of these gambits - like the Trojan Horse - have become legend; others are relegated to the back shelves of military history. Unconventional Warfare is a fascinating, feature-length look at the history of fighting "outside the lines." From the Bronze Age to the 20th century, it is filled with stories of ingenious strategies, inspired ploys, and nefarious schemes that have turned the tides of countless battles. Hannibal's elephants and flying corpses, suicide bombers and computer viruses - nothing is out of bounds in the dangerous world of Unconventional Warfare.
