The best I have seen (explanation of minority attack principals) is in "The Middle Game" by Euwe and Kramer

Thanks, Pat (nest)

Minority Attack: A plan based on the use of two or more pawns (the minority) to act as battering rams against the opponent’s three or more pawns (the majority) in order to create a weakness in the opposing camp.

2 examples of minority attack
1. QGD: white's a & b pawns attacking black's queen side pawns.
2. Sicilian: black's a & b pawns attacking white's queen side.
This type of attack can occur in other setups also.
