We know that a revolution's success largely depends on the army's
response to it. But can we predict the military's reaction to an
uprising? How Armies Respond to Revolutions and Why argues that it
is possible to make a highly educated guess--and in some cases even
a confident prediction--about the generals' response to a domestic
revolt if we know enough about the army, the state it is supposed
to serve, the society in which it exists, and the external
environment that affects its actions. Through concise case studies
of modern uprisings in Iran, China, Eastern Europe, Burma, and the
Arab world, Zoltan Barany looks at the reasons for and the logic
behind the variety of choices soldiers ultimately make. Barany
offers tools--in the form of questions to be asked and
answered--that enable analysts to provide the most informed
assessment possible regarding an army's likely response to a
revolution and, ultimately, the probable fate of the revolution
itself. He examines such factors as the military's internal
cohesion, the regime's treatment of its armed forces, and the size,
composition, and nature of the demonstrations. How Armies Respond
to Revolutions and Why explains how generals decide to support or
suppress domestic uprisings.
