Book Synopsis PACIFICATION IN ALGERIA, 1956-1958 by : David Galula
Download or read book PACIFICATION IN ALGERIA, 1956-1958 written by David Galula and published by . This book was released on 1963 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this Memorandum, the author has reconstructed and evaluated his unique experience as participant and eyewitness in a critical period of the Algerian war. During the two years of his service in that theater, the Algerian rebels, having come within sight of victory, saw their hopes thwarted by a sudden increase in the French military effort, and both sides fought intensively for the allegiance and support of the population. The emphasis on pacification, rather than military operations, in the present study reflects the writer's special concern with that aspect of counterinsurgent warfare. Most important and generally valid five principles of counterinsurgent warfare that he found confirmed in his Algerian experience. The objective is the population. The support of the population is not spontaneous and must be acquired and organized through the efforts of the minority that actively favors the counterinsurgent. This minority will emerge, and will be followed by the majority, only if the counterinsurgent is recognized as the ultimate victor. The counterinsurgent, unlike the insurgent, needs much to achieve little, and he therefore must concentrate his efforts on one area at a time. In time, the issue of war and peace becomes the central one in any insurgency, making the relative merit and popularity of the contending causes a matter of secondary moment.
Book Synopsis Mission pacification by : Pierre André Canale
Download or read book Mission pacification written by Pierre André Canale and published by . This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il est peu de témoignages, peu de récits dont je me sois senti aussi immédiatement proche et qui m'aient donné cette impression de rude fraîcheur. Celle de l'évidence, de l'authenticité... Il y a, dans chaque notation, un sens de la dérision et de la vanité qui traduisent de manière saisissante, à vrai dire inespérée, le sort des jeunes gens jetés dans une aventure qui ressemble à une question sans réponse ", dit Jean Daniel du livre de Pierre André Canale, qui fut appelé en Algérie et qui ouvre sa mémoire, quarante ans après. De ses classes en Tunisie à son affectation en Kabylie, beaucoup plus tard à son voyage dans l'Algérie indépendante, il ne s'agit ni d'un récit romancé, ni d'une chronique minutieuse de la guerre : Mission pacification n'a pas d'intrigue, pas de héros ; simplement des silhouettes parfois anonymes, protagonistes éphémères de brèves histoires qui vont du tragique au dérisoire et qui, en une sorte de mosaïque, dessinent peu à peu une large fresque où l'émotion se devine, plus qu'elle ne s'affiche ; une ironie sans illusions, un humour parfois grinçant, une froideur concertée dissimulent pourtant une réelle sensibilité. Ainsi personne ne pourra oublier l'histoire du petit Mohamed, la mascotte dont la fin cruelle est évoquée par une unique phrase : " Alors ceux de la montagne lui avaient fait beaucoup de mal. " Un beau livre qui, comme le dit encore Jean Daniel, " ... suscite un sentiment étrange et calme de gratitude ".
Book Synopsis Galula in Algeria by : Grégor Mathias
Download or read book Galula in Algeria written by Grégor Mathias and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2011-10-05 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking investigation uncovers serious mismatches between David Galula's counterinsurgency practice in Algeria and his counterinsurgency theory—the foundation of current U.S. counterinsurgency doctrine in Iraq and Afghanistan. Given the centrality of David Galula's theory to U.S. Counterinsurgency (COIN) doctrine in Iraq and Afghanistan, it is striking that there has been no independent evaluation of Galula's recollection of his COIN operations in Algeria. Galula in Algeria: Counterinsurgency Practice versus Theory delivers just such an analysis, exploring the colonial French counter-insurrectionary theoretical milieu of which Galula's COIN theory was a part, the influence of Galula's theory on U.S. COIN doctrine, and the current views of Galula's theory in France and other NATO countries. French defense researcher Grégor Mathias compares each of the eight steps of Galula's theory set out in Counterinsurgency Warfare against his practice of them as described in his writings and now, for the first time, against the SAS archives and those of Galula's infantry company and battalion. The study shows that Galula systematically inflated his operational successes to match his theoretical scheme and that he left problems unresolved, causing his work to unravel quickly after he left his command. Mathias concludes that, however heuristically fruitful Galula's theory might prove for U.S. COIN doctrine, it must be interpreted and implemented under the caveat that it was not successfully field-tested by its author. .

Book excerpt: After over 120 years of French colonial rule in Algeria, the growing aspirations for independence culminated in the Algerian Revolution of 1954, which lasted until 1962. In order to combat the uprisings, the French civilian and military authorities reorganised the entire territory of the country, swiftly erected new infrastructures and pursued building policies that were ultimately intended to stabilize French dominance in Algeria.The study describes the architectural responses undertaken in the midst of this protracted and bloody armed conflict. It analyses their origins, evolutions and objectives, identifies the actors involved and reveals the underlying design methods.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covering a period of five hundred years, from the arrival of the Ottomans to the aftermath of the Arab uprisings, James McDougall presents an expansive new account of the modern history of Africa's largest country. Drawing on substantial new scholarship and over a decade of research, McDougall places Algerian society at the centre of the story, tracing the continuities and the resilience of Algeria's people and their cultures through the dramatic changes and crises that have marked the country. Whether examining the emergence of the Ottoman viceroyalty in the early modern Mediterranean, the 130 years of French colonial rule and the revolutionary war of independence, the Third World nation-building of the 1960s and 1970s, or the terrible violence of the 1990s, this book will appeal to a wide variety of readers in African and Middle Eastern history and politics, as well as those concerned with the wider affairs of the Mediterranean.

Book Synopsis Number One Realist by : Nathaniel L. Moir
Download or read book Number One Realist written by Nathaniel L. Moir and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-04-01 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a 1965 letter to Newsweek, French writer and academic Bernard Fall (1926-67) staked a claim as the 'Number One Realist' on the Vietnam War. This is the first book to study the thought of this overlooked figure, one of the most important experts on counterinsurgency warfare in Indochina. Nathaniel L. Moir's intellectual history analyses Fall's formative experiences: his service in the French underground and army during the Second World War; his father's execution by the Germans and his mother's murder in Auschwitz; and his work as a research analyst at the Nuremberg Trials. Moir demonstrates how these critical events shaped Fall's trenchant analysis of Viet Minh-led revolutionary warfare during the French-Indochina War and the early Vietnam War. In the years before conventional American intervention in 1965, Fall argued that--far more than anything in the United States' military arsenal--resolving conflict in Vietnam would require political strength, willpower, integrity and skill. Number One Realist illuminates Fall's study of political reconciliation in Indochina, while showing how his profound, humanitarian critique of war continues to echo in the endless conflicts of the present. It will challenge and change the way we think about the Vietnam War.
Book Synopsis Arms and Influence by : Thomas C. Schelling
Download or read book Arms and Influence written by Thomas C. Schelling and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2020-03-17 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This is a brilliant and hardheaded book. It will frighten those who prefer not to dwell on the unthinkable and infuriate those who have taken refuge in stereotypes and moral attitudinizing.”—Gordon A. Craig, New York Times Book Review Originally published more than fifty years ago, this landmark book explores the ways in which military capabilities—real or imagined—are used, skillfully or clumsily, as bargaining power. Anne-Marie Slaughter’s new introduction to the work shows how Schelling’s framework—conceived of in a time of superpowers and mutually assured destruction—still applies to our multipolar world, where wars are fought as much online as on the ground.
Book Synopsis Rhetoric and Reality in Air Warfare by : Tami Biddle
Download or read book Rhetoric and Reality in Air Warfare written by Tami Biddle and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2009-01-10 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major revision of our understanding of long-range bombing, this book examines how Anglo-American ideas about "strategic" bombing were formed and implemented. It argues that ideas about bombing civilian targets rested on--and gained validity from--widespread but substantially erroneous assumptions about the nature of modern industrial societies and their vulnerability to aerial bombardment. These assumptions were derived from the social and political context of the day and were maintained largely through cognitive error and bias. Tami Davis Biddle explains how air theorists, and those influenced by them, came to believe that strategic bombing would be an especially effective coercive tool and how they responded when their assumptions were challenged. Biddle analyzes how a particular interpretation of the World War I experience, together with airmen's organizational interests, shaped interwar debates about strategic bombing and preserved conceptions of its potentially revolutionary character. This flawed interpretation as well as a failure to anticipate implementation problems were revealed as World War II commenced. By then, the British and Americans had invested heavily in strategic bombing. They saw little choice but to try to solve the problems in real time and make long-range bombing as effective as possible. Combining narrative with analysis, this book presents the first-ever comparative history of British and American strategic bombing from its origins through 1945. In examining the ideas and rhetoric on which strategic bombing depended, it offers critical insights into the validity and robustness of those ideas--not only as they applied to World War II but as they apply to contemporary warfare.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally the military community held the intelligence profession in low esteem, spying was seen as dirty work and information was all to often ignored if it conflicted with a commander's own view.

Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of Contemporary Middle Eastern and North African History by : Jens Hanssen
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Contemporary Middle Eastern and North African History written by Jens Hanssen and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-11-30 with total page 672 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Contemporary Middle-Eastern and North African History critically examines the defining processes and structures of historical developments in North Africa and the Middle East over the past two centuries. The Handbook pays particular attention to countries that have leapt out of the political shadows of dominant and better-studied neighbours in the course of the unfolding uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa. These dramatic and interconnected developments have exposed the dearth of informative analysis available in surveys and textbooks, particularly on Tunisia, Libya, Yemen, Bahrain and Syria.
