Insurgency and Counterinsurgency in the Nineteenth Century examines
insurgency and counterinsurgency across the globe in the nineteenth
century. The volume includes chapters from distinguished and rising
historians from Europe, North and South America and covers
irregular wars in Spain, Ireland, France, Latin America, China,
USA, Africa, Central Asia and Burma. The authors explore links
between insurgencies and nationalism, including learning curves and
emulation in counterinsurgency. With a special emphasis on
non-Western warfare, this volume includes case studies such as the
Katanga and White Lotus rebellions largely unknown to Western
readers. The military history of the nineteenth century thus
reveals much more than the symmetrical warfare of Napoleon, Grant
and Moltke. This volume shows the commonalities of responses more
than their differences and refracts these through themes which crop
up repeatedly in different times and places. These themes include
common problems and solutions: the challenge of commanding local
intelligence networks; public opinion; millenarianism, magic and
religion; technology; 'hearts and minds'; the legal framework of
state violence; racial stereotypes and patterns of forgetting and
remembering guerrilla conflicts. The first recent study to examine
Western and non-Western warfare in equal measure, stressing the
prevalence of commonalities between guerrilla warfare and
counterinsurgency across the globe, Insurgency and
Counterinsurgency in the Nineteenth Century will be of great
interest to scholars of military and strategic studies, as well as
modern military history. It was originally published as a special
issue of Small Wars & Insurgencies.
