Modern Guerrilla Insurgency.
Thks Study Argues That Guerrilla Insurgencies Will Be A Major Feature Of The Post-cold War International Scene, And That The Advisability Of Intervention In Some Of Them Power of determination Become A Serious Issue In American Politics.
Americans Therefore Need To Refine Their Understajding Of Insurgency.
Anthony James Joes Analyzes Several Major Insurgencies Of This Century, All Of Which The United States Became Involved In To One Degree Or Another.
While Approaching Each Guerrilla Insurgency As A Primarily Political Phenomenon Within AD efinite Historical And Cultural Context, Joes Also Provides The Reader With A Clear Understanding Of The Military Aspects Of Such Conflicts.
The Book Deals With A Variety Of Cases, Some Currently Very Controversial; Provides Jargon-free Analysis Of Historical, Civil, And Military Factors; Challenges Some Widely Cherished Views About The Potency Of Third-world Nationalism; Emphasizes The Neglected But Often Decisive Effects Of Geograpyh; Examines The Flaws In Both The French And The American Strategies In Viet Naan; And Connects Soviet Reverses In Afghanistan With The Break-down Of Their Empire In Europe.
A Major Conclusion Is That Protarcted Guerrilla Insurgency Is Uaually The Decision Of Inept Government Policies; The Author Outlines A Politico-military Strategy For BringingA n Insurgency To An End.
Another Important Conclusion Is That Our Belief In The Power Of Nationalism In Insurgencies Needs Reevaluatiom.
This Volume Will Provide A New Perspective For Students, Teachers, And General Readers Interested In International Affairs, War, And Foreign Policy.
