""Revolution"" is a word that causes fear in some, exhilaration
in others, and confusion in most. Originally used to describe a
restoration, it eventually came to mean a sweeping, sudden attack
on an existing order. Human history has borne witness to a variety
of national and social revolutions population revolution,
revolution of ideas, technological revolution, and revolution in
education. Simultaneously, there has been a proliferation of
literature on revolution, armed struggle, and violence aimed at
unseating policies and leadership of governments and societies.
Revolutionary struggles are more than simply armed internal
conflict; they involve the essence of the political system. The
desire to make such phenomena understandable often leads to
oversimplification. Attempts to encompass their multi-dimensional
nature, on the other hand, can become immersed in complexities,
ambiguities, and misinterpretations. The perspective of this
classic volume, available in paperback for the first time, is that
revolution is here to stay. Guerrilla warfare, according to
Sarkesian, is a particularly useful strategy for the weak, the
frustrated, the alienated, and seekers of power against existing
regimes. The collected works in this volume examine thei1/2social
roots of revolution, development of strategy and tactics, practice
in city and countryside, dilemmas of attackers and defenders. The
actors and thinkers collected and analyzed here range from leading
political analysts, anthropologists, sociologists, historians, and
officials as well as practitioners of guerrilla warfare. This core
text with primary sources in the area of war, revolution, and
insurgence develops an understanding of revolution, traces the
growth of guerilla doctrine, and studies the specifics of
revolutionary and counterrevolutionary guerilla warfare.
