The author has assumed that war, as an extremely complex phenomenon should be considered from many points of view taking concrete criteria as a basis of division. The analysis of military, psychological, legal, economic and sociological signs of war leads to a conclusion that all of them may be considered as factors causing a changeable degree of intensity in war. They are mutually interpenetrating in the phenomenon of war itself. In the introduction, the author stresses the fact that philosophers, historians, sociologists and the art of war theoreticians have always tried to answer the question what war actually is. Dealing with the issue of war, its definition, theory and classifications, he refers to (among others) Plato, Aristotle, Democritus, Epicure, Cicerone, Hobbes, Rousseau, Hegel, Bouthoula, Huxley, Comte, Spencer, Sun Tzu, Clausewitz, Grotius, Walzer, Fukuyama and Beaufre. Polish authors include: Skibiński, Chocha, Kaczmarek (Julian), Nożko. According to the author, many theoreticians trie to explain the basic sources of war with psychological, geographical, racial or anthropological factors. However, facts prove that the reasons of war do not root from allegedly constant features of human nature. They are not an eternal and inevitable phenomenon in human history. Some primeval societies are known who did not wage wars and did not use force in order to achieve their goals, although elements of fight appeared in these tribal communities. There have been many theories of war: demographic, ethical, biological, geo-political, philosophical, economic, psychological, ideological or sociological ones.

The theory of irregular operations dates back to the beginning of the 19th century and it was connected with experiences of partisan operations in Spain. The Italians were its creators. The Poles contributed immensely to it thanks to Gen. Wojciech Chrzanowski, the author of the book entitled “On Partisan War” published in 1835. Also the literary outputs of Gen. Józef Zachariasz Bem, Aleksander Jelocicki and Ludwik Bystrzowski were significant. In turn, the Poles, namely Karol Bogumił Stolzman and Henryk Kamieński, created the theory of people's war. The theory of irregular operations had been undergoing a revival until World War II. American and French theoreticians contributed mostly to it. It was an after- math of partisan wars waged mainly in Asia and Africa.
