Jeff Hawke on älykäs brittiläinen scifi-sarjakuva, joka ilmestyi 1956-1974. Kirjan sarjat ovat 1960-luvun lopulta, joka oli sarjan kulta-aikaa. Jeff Hawke on entinen RAF:n lentäjä, joka hoitaa tulevaisuuden Englannissa hankalia avaruushallinnon asioita. Sarja on tehty aikuiseen makuun ja tieteelliset asiat yleensä vastaavat todellisuutta. Sarjan piirtäjä Sydney Jordan (1928-) piirsi useita sarjakuvia, mutta Jeff Hawke on hänen päätyönsä. Se on yhä suosittu etenkin Ranskassa, Italiassa ja Skandinaviassa. Jalava julkaisi kolme albumia Jeff Hawkea 1980-luvulla.

This book explores the ways in which democracies can win counterinsurgencies when they implement a proper strategy. At a time when the USA is retrenching from two bungled foreign wars that involved deadly insurgent uprisings, this is a particularly important argument. Succumbing to the trauma of those engagements and drawing the wrong conclusions about counterinsurgency can only lead to further defeat in the future. Rather than assuming that counterinsurgency is ineffective, it is crucial to understand that a conventional response to an insurgent challenge is likely to fail. Counterinsurgency must be applied from the beginning, and if done properly can be highly effective, even when used by democratic regimes. In fact, because such regimes are often wealthier; have more experience at institution-building and functional governance; are more pluralistic in nature and therefore enjoy higher levels of legitimacy than do autocracies, democracies may have considerable advantages in counterinsurgency warfare. Rather than give up in despair, democracies should learn to leverage these advantages and implement them against future insurgencies.
