I'm a fan of historian Michael Wood! One of my favorite items from him was the BBC documentary series, "In the Footsteps of Alexander the Great."
The quote you mention from Wood comes from his historical researches regarding India. (You could also look for his BBC documentary series, "The Story of India.") The "rejection of a whole way of understanding history" was the way that Wood described the actions of Asoka (or Ashoka -- you'll see both spellings). Asoka was ruler from 268 to 232 BC of lands that would later become known as India. Asoka was a great conqueror but also someone who found enlightenment through Buddhism. After conquering the Kalinga region in eastern India, rather than feeling some great rush of pride or accomplishment because of their victory, Asoka felt guilty. So he worked hard to improve the lives of the Kalinga people that he had conquered. This was what Wood was referring to when he said Asoka's attitude/approach "was a rejection of a whole way of understanding history." Conquest was not something to be celebrated triumphantly. Rather, the conquerors had an obligation to those whom they had conquered.
A guerrilla warfare is a paramilitary group used during combat, to fight a larger military group. The use of guerrilla warfare during wartime includes ambushes, sabotage, and even raids. These groups are similar to the flexible response in the sense that they are both military strategy. Flexible response was first used by US President John F. Kennedy as a military strategy during the cold war and it refers to the status quo of heavily armed war not limited to nuclear arms. In simple terms, Flexible Response is the capability to annihilate your enemy as it destroys you completely, calling for the prevention of attacks. Even though both terms represent strategic approaches to war, they wage different results. In a sentence, guerrilla warfare leverages power of military groups without compromising the whole power of the army, while flexible response uses the whole power of an army to wage on stability and status quo.
