This book is a major new study of the extent to which national
mentalities, or 'ways of war', are responsible for 'national
styles' of insurgency and counterinsurgency. Leading scholars
examine the ways of war of particular insurgent movements, and the
standard operational procedures of states and occupation forces to
suppress them. Through case studies ranging from British, American
and French counterinsurgency to the IRA and the Taliban, they show
how 'national styles' evolve, influenced by transnational trends,
ideas and practices. They examine whether we can identify a
tendency to resort to a particular pattern of fighting and, if so,
whether this is dictated by constants such as geography and
climate, or by the available options, or else whether there exists
a particular 'strategic culture' or 'national style'. Their
findings show that 'national style' is not eternal but can undergo
fundamental transformations.
