Insurgencies, especially in the form of guerrilla warfare, continue
to erupt across many parts of the globe. Most of these rebellions
fail, but Four Rebellions that Shaped Our World analyzes four
twentieth-century conflicts in which the success of the insurgents
permanently altered the global political arena: the Maoists in
China against Chiang Kai-shek and the Japanese in the 1930s and
1940s; the Viet Minh in French Indochina from 1945 to 1954;
Castro's followers against Batista in Cuba from 1956 to 1959; and
the mujahideen in Soviet Afghanistan from 1980 to 1989. Anthony
James Joes illuminates patterns of failed counterinsurgencies that
include serious but avoidable political and military blunders and
makes clear the critical and often decisive influence of the
international setting. Offering provocative insights and timeless
lessons applicable to contemporary conflicts in Iraq and
Afghanistan, this authoritative and comprehensive book will be of
great interest to policy-makers and concerned citizens alike.
