Robert Grainger Ker Thompson

Sir Robert Grainger Ker Thompson (1916–1992) was a British military officer and counter-insurgency expert who "was widely regarded on both sides of the Atlantic as the world's leading expert on countering the Mao Tse-tung technique of rural guerrilla insurgency". His 1966 book ''Defeating Communist Insurgency'' played an important role in popularizing the "hearts and minds" approach to counterinsurgency. Provided by Wikipedia
