Outstanding Academic Title for 2002 From South Carolina to South
Vietnam, America's two hundred-year involvement in guerrilla
warfare has been extensive and varied. America and Guerrilla
Warfare analyzes conflicts in which Americans have participated in
the role of, on the side of, or in opposition to guerrilla forces,
providing a broad comparative and historical perspective on these
types of engagements. Anthony James Joes examines nine case
studies, ranging from the role of Francis Marion, the Swamp Fox, in
driving Cornwallis to Yorktown and eventual surrender to the U.S.
support of Afghan rebels that hastened the collapse of the Soviet
Empire. He analyzes the origins of each conflict, traces American
involvement, and seeks patterns and deviations. Studying numerous
campaigns, including ones staged by Confederate units during the
Civil War, Joes reveals the combination of elements that can lead a
nation to success in guerrilla warfare or doom it to failure. In a
controversial interpretation, he suggests that valuable lessons
were forgotten or ignored in Southeast Asia. The American
experience in Vietnam was a debacle but, according to Joes,
profoundly atypical of the country's overall experience with
guerrilla warfare. He examines several twentieth-century conflicts
that should have better prepared the country for Vietnam: the
Philippines after 1898, Nicaragua in the 1920s, Greece in the late
1940s, and the Philippines again during the Huk War of 1946-1954.
Later, during the long Salvadoran conflict of the 1980s, American
leaders seemed to recall what they had learned from their
experiences with this type of warfare. Guerrilla insurgencies did
not end with the Cold War. As America faces recurring crises in the
Balkans, sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and possibly Asia, a
comprehensive analysis of past guerrilla engagements is essential
for today's policymakers.
The Culture of Western Europe, George L. Mosse's sweeping cultural
history, was originally published in 1961 and revised and expanded
in 1974 and 1988. Originating from the lectures at the University
of Wisconsin-Madison for which Mosse would become famous, the book
addresses, in crisp and accessible language, the key issues he saw
as animating the movement of culture in Europe. Mosse emphasizes
the role of both rational and irrational forces in making modern
Europe, beginning with the interplay between eighteenth-century
rationalism and nineteenth-century Romanticism. He traces cultural
and political movements in all areas of society, especially
nationalism but also economics, class identity and conflict,
religion and morality, family structure, medicine, and art. This
new edition restores the original 1961 illustrations and features a
critical introduction by Anthony J. Steinhoff, professor in the
department of history at the UniversitE du QuEbec A MontrEal,
contextualizing Mosse's project and arguing for its continued
relevance today.
James takes a probing look at the life of scientist, poet,
philosopher, dramatist, and radio and television personality Jacob
Bronowski (1908-1974).
'Amputated Souls' explores the subject of psychiatry and
psychiatric practices and the assault upon human rights and human
freedom constituted by these practices, tracing the history of
lobotomy, ECT and antipsychotic drugs, and their use, from 1935 to
the present day.
Guerrilla insurgencies continue to rage across the globe, fueled
by ethnic and religious conflict and the easy availability of
weapons. At the same time, urban population centers in both
industrialized and developing nations attract ever-increasing
numbers of people, outstripping rural growth rates worldwide. As a
consequence of this population shift from the countryside to the
cities, guerrilla conflict in urban areas, similar to the violent
response to U.S. occupation in Iraq, will become more frequent.
Urban Guerrilla Warfare traces the diverse origins of urban
conflicts and identifies similarities and differences in the
methods of counterinsurgent forces. In this wide-ranging and richly
detailed comparative analysis, Anthony James Joes examines eight
key examples of urban guerrilla conflict spanning half a century
and four continents: Warsaw in 1944, Budapest in 1956, Algiers in
1957, Montevideo and Sao Paulo in the 1960s, Saigon in 1968,
Northern Ireland from 1970 to 1998, and Grozny from 1994 to 1996.
Joes demonstrates that urban insurgents violate certain fundamental
principles of guerrilla warfare as set forth by renowned military
strategists such as Carl von Clausewitz and Mao Tse-tung. Urban
guerrillas operate in finite areas, leaving themselves vulnerable
to encirclement and ultimate defeat. They also tend to abandon the
goal of establishing a secure base or a cross-border sanctuary,
making precarious combat even riskier. Typically, urban guerrillas
do not solely target soldiers and police; they often attack
civilians in an effort to frighten and disorient the local
population and discredit the regime. Thus urban guerrilla warfare
becomes difficult to distinguish from simple terrorism. Joes argues
persuasively against committing U.S. troops in urban
counterinsurgencies, but also offers cogent recommendations for the
successful conduct of such operations where they must be
undertaken.
