Descriptionof Masters of Mayhem
Manufacturer

Strike the enemy where they are weakest and disappear into the darkness before they can react. Never engage directly with a stronger force, but be prepared to confuse and demoralise the enemy with boldness and surprise. Operations based on good intelligence, local knowledge, mobility, speed, firepower and detailed planning, carried out by a few specialists with local warriors that is unconventional warfare. T. E. Lawrence was one of the first practitioners of modern unconventional warfare. His tactics and strategies were used by men like Mao and Giap in their wars of liberation. Both kept Lawrence's The Seven Pillars of Wisdom close at hand. This book deals with the founding of the HEDGEHOG force, the formation of armoured car divisions and other units, and focuses on the Hejaz Operations Staff, the Allied officers and soldiers who took up Lawrence's idea and implemented it against the Ottoman Turkish army to help Field Marshal Allenby achieve victory in 1918. Stejskal concludes with an examination of how HEDGEHOG influenced special operations and unconventional warfare, including Field Marshal Wavell, the Long Range Desert Group, and David Stirling's SAS.
