Annotation

THE UTILITY OF URBAN GUERRILLA WARFARE DEPENDS ON THE CONCRETE HISTORICAL SITUATION AND ON THE STRUCTURE OF THE PARTICULAR CONFLICT AS ILLUSTRATED IN THE TEXT WITH EXAMPLES OF DIFFERENT INSURGENCIES AND INCIDENTS.

Abstract

EXAMPLES ARE TAKEN FROM THE UNITED STATES, NORTHERN IRELAND, PALESTINE, AND LATIN AMERICA TO SHOW THAT THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS THE STRATEGY OF URBAN GUERRILLA WARFARE. SPECIFIC PROBLEMS MUST BE FACED BY THE GUERRILLA AND THE PARTICULAR STRATEGY HE CHOSES MAY OR MAY NOT BE ADEQUATE FOR HIS PURPOSES.
