Download or read book Urban Guerrilla Warfare written by Anthony Joes and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2007-04-20 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guerrilla insurgencies continue to rage across the globe, fueled by ethnic and religious conflict and the easy availability of weapons. At the same time, urban population centers in both industrialized and developing nations attract ever-increasing numbers of people, outstripping rural growth rates worldwide. As a consequence of this population shift from the countryside to the cities, guerrilla conflict in urban areas, similar to the violent response to U.S. occupation in Iraq, will become more frequent. Urban Guerrilla Warfare traces the diverse origins of urban conflicts and identifies similarities and differences in the methods of counterinsurgent forces. In this wide-ranging and richly detailed comparative analysis, Anthony James Joes examines eight key examples of urban guerrilla conflict spanning half a century and four continents: Warsaw in 1944, Budapest in 1956, Algiers in 1957, Montevideo and São Paulo in the 1960s, Saigon in 1968, Northern Ireland from 1970 to 1998, and Grozny from 1994 to 1996. Joes demonstrates that urban insurgents violate certain fundamental principles of guerrilla warfare as set forth by renowned military strategists such as Carl von Clausewitz and Mao Tse-tung. Urban guerrillas operate in finite areas, leaving themselves vulnerable to encirclement and ultimate defeat. They also tend to abandon the goal of establishing a secure base or a cross-border sanctuary, making precarious combat even riskier. Typically, urban guerrillas do not solely target soldiers and police; they often attack civilians in an effort to frighten and disorient the local population and discredit the regime. Thus urban guerrilla warfare becomes difficult to distinguish from simple terrorism. Joes argues persuasively against committing U.S. troops in urban counterinsurgencies, but also offers cogent recommendations for the successful conduct of such operations where they must be undertaken.
Download or read book Guerrillas and Terrorists written by Richard L. Clutterbuck and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2013-09-15 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Terrorism and guerrilla warfare, whether justified as resistance to oppression or condemned as disrupting the rule of law, are as old as civilization itself. The power of the terrorist, however, has been magnified by modern weapons, including television, which he has learned to exploit. To protect itself, society must understand the terrorist and what he is trying to do; thus Dr. Clutterbuck’s purpose in writing this book: “to contribute to the understanding and cooperation between the police, the public and the media.”

Book excerpt: The shift from the rural insurgencies of the 1950's and 1960's to acts of terrorism and urban guerrilla warfare in the 1970's has created a dilemma for Western Governments. The authors believe that the nations of the Western Hemisphere are likely to find this new insurgency a growing threat unless the current economic and socio-political problems are satisfactorily resolved. In their view, the tactics and equipment developed to combat the rural guerrilla are not readily adaptable to the urban environment; however, the destructive capabilites of the urban terrorists' arsenal have grown enormously. The authors assert that a new strategy for deterring and combating urban guerrillas must be developed, and they set forth principles that will aid in the formulation of such a strategy. (Author).

Download or read book Irregular Warfare written by Alvaro De Souza Pinheiro and published by . This book was released on 2009-09 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Major General (Ret.) Alvaro Pinheiro-whose career in the Brazilian Army has seen service as a paratrooper, jumpmaster, pathfinder, commando, and Special Forces Operational Detachment commander-in this monograph addresses the challenges posed by urban guerrillas. Recognizing that urban guerrillas are far from limited to a few individual countries, he uses the experiences of Brazil in combating this complex criminal-terrorist phenomenon to illustrate the ways in which this threat can be understood and confronted within legal and Constitutional frameworks. In this assessment, General Alvaro includes their origin, operational environment, tactics, impact on society, and the role of the armed forces in countering these criminal-terrorist elements. The monograph includes both the theory and practice of the urban criminal-terrorist, and draws upon the writings and activities of the notorious urban terrorist Carlos Marighella's (author of the Minimanual of the Urban Guerrilla) as well as his own experience and that of other military and law enforcement specialists who have dealt directly with this destabilizing threat.

Download or read book War of Nerves written by Tabitha Yueh Li Tan and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-02-07 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most armies prefer to avoid urban warfare. Urban campaigns tend to be time-consuming and manpower intensive. They are usually bloody events that burn through manpower, materials and resources at a very high tempo. Most guerrillas are also advised by their strategists to avoid using the urban environment as their battlespace. The cramped and claustrophobic conditions of some cities have created conditions where combatants have entered and emerged with some degree of psychological impairment. However, against the odds, some urban guerrillas have found ways to turn the adverse environment to their advantage. What is the key to their success? How have they managed to turn the "War of Nerves" against the armies sent in to wipe them out? What are the factors and conditions of this type of conflict? Is it really possible for small guerrilla bands to emerge victorious in this sort of conflict?
