Since the original publication of Undergrounds in Insurgent, Revo- lutionary, and Resistance Warfare in 1963, much has changed, and much remains relevant. The Internet, the globalization of media, the demise of Soviet Communism and the Cold War, and the rise of Islamic fundamentalism have all impacted the nature and functional- ity of undergrounds. The original study’s observation, however, that for every guerilla fighter, there are from two to twenty-seven under- ground members is still true. Likewise, the report’s main thesis—that the underground part of an insurgency is the sine qua non of all such movements—is demonstrably accurate today.
