Some rebel groups abuse noncombatant populations, while others
exhibit restraint. Insurgent leaders in some countries transform
local structures of government, while others simply extract
resources for their own benefit. In some contexts, groups kill
their victims selectively, while in other environments violence
appears indiscriminate, even random. This book presents a theory
that accounts for the different strategies pursued by rebel groups
in civil war, explaining why patterns of insurgent violence vary so
much across conflicts. It does so by examining the membership,
structure, and behavior of four insurgent movements in Uganda,
Mozambique, and Peru. Drawing on interviews with nearly two hundred
combatants and civilians who experienced violence firsthand, it
shows that rebels' strategies depend in important ways on how
difficult it is to launch a rebellion. The book thus demonstrates
how characteristics of the environment in which rebellions emerge
constrain rebel organization and shape the patterns of violence
that civilians experience.
