"Medieval strategists made use of many forms of warfare, including set-piece battles, of course, as well as the petty warfare of raiding and harassment."[2]
"Guerrillas, as Lieber defined them, were not tied directly to an army, and “carried on a petty war by raids, extortion, destruction, and massacre.”[3]
