Counterinsurgency, the violent suppression of armed insurrection,
is among the dominant kinds of war in contemporary world politics.
Often linked to protecting populations and reconstructing
legitimate political orders, it has appeared in other times and
places in very different forms - and has taken on a range of
politics in doing so. How did it arrive at its present form, and
what generated these others, along the way? Spanning several
centuries and four detailed case studies, The Counterinsurgent
Imagination unpacks and explores this intellectual history through
counterinsurgency manuals. These military theoretical and
instructional texts, and the practitioners who produced them, made
counterinsurgency possible in practice. By interrogating these
processes, this book explains how counter-insurrectionary war
eventually took on its late twentieth and early twenty-first
century forms. It shows how and why counterinsurgent ideas persist,
despite recurring failures.
