Download or read book America and Guerrilla Warfare written by Anthony James Joes and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-05-11 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From South Carolina to South Vietnam, America's two hundred-year involvement in guerrilla warfare has been extensive and varied. America and Guerrilla Warfare analyzes conflicts in which Americans have participated in the role of, on the side of, or in opposition to guerrilla forces, providing a broad comparative and historical perspective on these types of engagements. Anthony James Joes examines nine case studies, ranging from the role of Francis Marion, the Swamp Fox, in driving Cornwallis to Yorktown and eventual surrender to the U.S. support of Afghan rebels that hastened the collapse of the Soviet Empire. He analyzes the origins of each conflict, traces American involvement, and seeks patterns and deviations. Studying numerous campaigns, including ones staged by Confederate units during the Civil War, Joes reveals the combination of elements that can lead a nation to success in guerrilla warfare or doom it to failure. In a controversial interpretation, he suggests that valuable lessons were forgotten or ignored in Southeast Asia. The American experience in Vietnam was a debacle but, according to Joes, profoundly atypical of the country's overall experience with guerrilla warfare. He examines several twentieth-century conflicts that should have better prepared the country for Vietnam: the Philippines after 1898, Nicaragua in the 1920s, Greece in the late 1940s, and the Philippines again during the Huk War of 1946-1954. Later, during the long Salvadoran conflict of the 1980s, American leaders seemed to recall what they had learned from their experiences with this type of warfare. Guerrilla insurgencies did not end with the Cold War. As America faces recurring crises in the Balkans, sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and possibly Asia, a comprehensive analysis of past guerrilla engagements is essential for today's policymakers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Insurgent warfare is one of the most significant issues confronting governments and militaries today. Vital to the multi-front war the West currently wages against insurgents and terrorists, Isolating the Guerrilla, a previously classified military study, can contribute to successful outcomes and toward saving thousands of lives in current and future counterinsurgencies and conflicts. Compiled by an unequalled team of 26 experts, Isolating the Guerrilla presents their aggregate analysis on the most salient aspects of counterinsurgencies. Had political and military leaders benefited from the conclusions of this study in 2002, the multinational coalitions would certainly have succeeded in Afghanistan and Iraq much sooner. Accurate and convincing, Isolating the Guerrilla offers a considerable contribution to the debate on, planning for, and execution of current and potential counterinsurgencies. The study examines 25 counterinsurgency case studies and offers immutable practices and lessons learned that are most applicable and proven successful for finding and fixing guerrillas and insurgents in various cultures, environments, and terrains. Isolating the Guerrilla, employing historical analysis in identifying successful operations, tactics, and techniques, contains a unique, comprehensive perspective on these essential aspects of counterinsurgency and provides important insights on these issues.

Download or read book Guerrilla Warfare written by Che Guevara and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 1997 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Che Guevara, the larger-than-life hero of the 1959 revolutionary victory that overturned the Cuban dictatorship, believed that revolution would also topple the imperialist governments in Latin America. Che's call to action, his proclamation of "invincibility"-the ultimate victory of revolutionary forces-continues to influence the course of Latin American history and international relations. His amazing life story has lifted him to almost legendary status. This edition of Che's classic work Guerrilla Warfare contains the text of his book, as well as two later essays titled "Guerrilla Warfare: A Method" and "Message to the Tricontinental." A detailed introduction by Brian Loveman and Thomas M. Davies, Jr., examines Guevara's text, his life and political impact, the situation in Latin America, and the United States' response to Che and to events in Latin America. Loveman and Davies also provide in-depth case studies that apply Che's theories on revolution to political situations in seven Latin American countries from the 1960s to the present. Also included are political chronologies of each country discussed in the case studies and a postscript tying the analyses together. This book will help students gain a better understanding of Che's theoretical contribution to revolutionary literature and the inspiration that his life and Guerrilla Warfare have provided to revolutionaries since the 1960s. This volume is an invaluable addition to courses in Latin American studies and political science.

Book excerpt: Guerrilla Warfare is an epoch-making book by Che Guevara aimed to inspire thousands of guerrilla fighters in various countries worldwide. Guevara believed that in the world of totalitarian regimes, where political opposition and legal civil struggle are impossible to conduct, guerilla warfare is the best method to resist the government. Yet, commonly guerilla movements lack organization, clear political vision, motivation, and supply. This book was aimed to help guerilla leaders solve these issues and strengthen the opposition with strong motivation and strict organization.

Download or read book War In The Heart And Mind The Moral Domain Of The Guerrilla Warrior written by Major Daniel L. Zajac and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph seeks to determine if the moral detrain of battle for guerrilla soldiers is different from that of conventional soldiers. The works of classical and contemporary military theorists address various factors that impact on the moral domain of battle for the individual soldier. These works discuss the moral domain almost exclusively from the perspective of conventional soldiers. As the United States faces the challenges of the post-Cold War world, the likelihood of military intervention in conflicts involving guerrilla warfare may increase, if established moral domain theory does not apply to guerrilla warfare then new paradigms addressing the guerrilla merit investigation. Understanding what motivates the guerrilla soldier in combat will assist the U.S. Army in the development of tactics, techniques and procedures to defeat guerilla movements. This study focuses on rural-based guerrillas in combat at the tactical level of war. The evidence includes a review of theory on the moral domain and case studies on the guerrilla forces of the Yugoslavian Partisans (1941-44) and the Viet Cong (1960-75). Classical and contemporary theories describing the moral domain of conventional soldiers provide a base line for comparisons with guerrilla fighters. The monograph employs Anthony Kellett’s “factors affecting combat motivation” as criteria in a comparative analysis of the guerrilla’s moral domain. Those factors are: importance of the primary group; unit esprit; manpower allocation; socialization; training; discipline; leadership; ideology; rewards; preconceptions of combat; aspects of combat; combat stress; and combat behavior. The monograph concludes that Kellett’s factors and much of the classical moral domain theory do apply to the guerrilla. However, while the basic construct is applicable, the nature of some factors is significantly different. The Monograph explores these differences and their implications for counterguerrilla doctrine.

Book excerpt: Guerilla warfare, with its blend of clandestine tactics, unconventional strategies, and relentless determination, has long captivated the imagination of military strategists, historians, and the public alike. This form of warfare, characterized by its asymmetry and adaptability, challenges conventional military doctrines and forces, often extending conflicts far beyond traditional battlegrounds. In this book, we delve into the multifaceted world of guerilla warfare, exploring its historical roots, ideological underpinnings, strategic dynamics, and enduring impact on global conflicts. From ancient skirmishes in distant lands to modern insurgencies shaping geopolitical landscapes, guerilla warfare has left an indelible mark on history, influencing the rise and fall of empires, the struggle for independence, and the quest for social justice. Through a comprehensive examination of case studies, tactical analysis, and geopolitical implications, we seek to unravel the complexities of guerilla warfare. We explore the motivations driving insurgents to take up arms, the strategies they employ to evade superior forces, and the international dimensions that shape their success or failure. Moreover, we examine the humanitarian costs of guerilla conflicts, considering the plight of civilians caught in the crossfire and the challenges of rebuilding shattered communities. This book is not merely a recounting of battles and tactics; it is a critical exploration of the human dimensions of conflict—of bravery and sacrifice, of suffering and resilience. It aims to provide insights into the strategies and dilemmas faced by both guerilla fighters and the forces arrayed against them, offering perspectives that challenge conventional wisdom and provoke deeper reflection. As we navigate the intricate landscapes of guerilla warfare, we invite readers to engage critically with the complexities of insurgency, to question assumptions, and to explore the profound moral, ethical, and strategic issues that arise in the pursuit of victory and peace amidst the chaos of conflict. Ultimately, our goal is to contribute to a deeper understanding of guerilla warfare—not just as a military strategy, but as a phenomenon that shapes societies, redefines borders, and reshapes the course of history. We embark on this journey with a sense of humility, recognizing that the study of guerilla warfare is as much about learning from the past as it is about preparing for the future. Through diligent research, thoughtful analysis, and a commitment to truth-seeking, we aim to shed light on this enduring and enigmatic form of warfare. Join us as we explore the shadowy realms of guerilla warfare, where courage meets cunning, and where the quest for justice collides with the harsh realities of conflict. This preface sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of guerilla warfare, emphasizing its historical significance, strategic complexities, and human dimensions. It invites readers to delve into a nuanced understanding of insurgency and its broader implications for global security and peace.
Download or read book Guerrilla Warfare written by Ernesto Che Guevara and published by Seven Stories Press. This book was released on 2023-05-16 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Che Guevara’s classic text on revolutionary tactics and strategy. Since Guerrilla Warfare was first published in 1961, it has joined the canon of classic military literature, consulted by revolutionaries and counterrevolutionaries alike. In this book, Che Guevara outlines the lessons he learned as a guerrilla soldier in the Cuban revolution and explains how a small group of dedicated fighters grew in strength with the support of the Cuban people, overcoming the odds to vanquish the US-backed dictator’s army and overthrow the dictatorship. Guerrilla Warfare is both an insightful account of one of the decisive revolutionary movements of the twentieth century and a timeless resource for freedom fighters the world over. This edition includes Che’s corrections and his suggestions for further revisions to the text—revisions his murder in 1967 prevented him from making.

This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This will be a case study of the little known Fetterman Massacre of 1866. It will look the situation at the time, possible causes, key players, the massacre itself and the aftermath. Similarities to the counterinsurgency in Afghanistan will be noted where applicable throughout this paper. A case will be proposed that the Army was ill prepared for the Indian Wars of the latter 19th Century, just as they were initially ill prepared for an extended Afghanistan Insurgency Campaign. Connections are drawn showing that there were lessons learned in 1866 that are still appropriate today. Familiarity with them, along with other more recent examples, will better prepare the Army to fight counterinsurgencies in the future.
