Today more than one hundred small, asymmetric, and revolutionary
wars are being waged around the world. This book provides
invaluable tools for fighting such wars by taking enemy
perspectives into consideration. The third volume of a trilogy by
Max G. Manwaring, it continues the arguments the author presented
in Insurgency, Terrorism, and Crime and Gangs, Pseudo-Militaries,
and Other Modern Mercenaries. Using case studies, Manwaring
outlines vital survival lessons for leaders and organizations
concerned with national security in our contemporary world. The
insurgencies Manwaring describes span the globe. Beginning with
conflicts in Algeria in the 1950s and 1960s and El Salvador in the
1980s, he goes on to cover the Shining Path and its resurgence in
Peru, Al Qaeda in Spain, popular militias in Cuba, Haiti, and
Brazil, the Russian youth group Nashi, and drugs and politics in
Guatemala, as well as cyber warfare. Large, wealthy, well-armed
nations such as the United States have learned from experience that
these small wars and insurgencies do not resemble traditional wars
fought between geographically distinct nation-state adversaries by
easily identified military forces. Twenty-first-century irregular
conflicts blur traditional distinctions among crime, terrorism,
subversion, insurgency, militia, mercenary and gang activity, and
warfare. Manwaring's multidimensional paradigm offers military and
civilian leaders a much needed blueprint for achieving strategic
victories and ensuring global security now and in the future. It
combines military and police efforts with politics, diplomacy,
economics, psychology, and ethics. The challenge he presents to
civilian and military leaders is to take probable enemy
perspectives into consideration, and turn resultant conceptions
into strategic victories.
