I would have done the same google/wiki copy paste, but kept it to the Balkans since it’s probably the most “well known” amongst people that have paid even a little bit of attention. Followed by Chechnya, 1 AND 2.
I believe the knowledge gained there (Chechnya) and the books written surpasses what the Rhodesians/Sealous learned/wrote about in regards to anti-gorilla/COIN strategy and tactics, and that’s saying something.
Granted, bush war vs. urban conflict, but still.
