This timely book offers a world history of insurgencies and of
counterinsurgency warfare. Working beyond traditional
Western-centric narrative, arguing that it is crucial to ground
experiences in Afghanistan and Iraq in a global framework. Unlike
other studies that begin with the American and French revolutions,
this book reaches back to antiquity to trace the pre-modern origins
of war. Interweaving thematic and chronological narratives, Black
probes the enduring linkages between beliefs, events, and people on
the one hand and changes over time on the other hand. He shows the
extent to which politics, technologies, and ideologies have
evolved, creating new parameters and paradigms that have framed
both governmental and public views. Tracing insurgencies ranging
from China to Africa to Latin America, Black highlights the widely
differing military and political dimensions of each conflict. He
weighs how, and why, lessons were “learned” or, rather,
asserted, in both insurgency and counterinsurgency warfare. At
every stage, he considers lessons learned by contemporaries, the
ways in which norms developed within militaries and societies, and
their impact on doctrine and policy. His sweeping study of
insurrectionary warfare and its counterinsurgency counterpart will
be essential reading forstudents of military history.
