- W220820493 abstract "The Art Of Counter-Revolutionary War First published in 1966, The Art of Counter-Revolutionary War (Stackpole Books, Mechanicsburg, PA) is among top primers on theory and practice of counterinsurgency warfare during 20th century. This work is essential reading for all professionals who want to understand how to better prosecute today's long, irregular war against insurgents with global aspirations. The author, Colonel Jack McCuen, retired in 1976 after a distinguished 28-year career that included service as commander of an armored cavalry squadron, director of Internal Defense and Development course at both Vietnamese National Defense College in Saigon and U.S. Army War College, and chief of Military Assistant Group-Indonesia. This book was result of a project that McCuen began with encouragement and guidance of political scientist Samuel Huntington while studying at Columbia University's School of International Affairs in early 1960s. He completed book while serving on U.S. Army General Staff later in decade. The Art of Counter-Revolutionary War examines insurgent and counterinsurgent organizations, operations, and mobilizations in successful and unsuccessful counterinsurgencies from 20th century and before. While he offers no panaceas, McCuen uncovers universal principles and fundamentals that endure over time. His prescription is to look upon former revolutionary wars as shopping lists that have worked and can work in similar situations to enable us to select and tailor past practices to present requirements. We must sift facts in each case and then take for our strategy what is likely to be successful, McCuen tells us. Successful practices from lost wars can also be germane to present and future counterinsurgencies. McCuen cogently argues that imperative of any insurgent strategy against a modern, well-equipped army is to prolong war so that, as Henry Kissinger put it, the guerrilla wins if he does not lose; conventional army loses if it does not win. The book offers a fourfold approach to counter such an insurgency. First, commanders must determine which stage of an insurgency they are fighting. McCuen wrote this book during Maoist revolutionary warfare era, so he identifies four stages of insurgency: organization, terrorism, guerrilla warfare, and mobile warfare. The first three stages are still germane in today's era, but insurgencies in Afghanistan and Iraq are unlikely to enter a mobile-warfare phase similar to Maoist revolutions in China and Indochina. Second, counterinsurgent must secure his strategic bases while eliminating or denying insurgents sanctuary. Third, counterinsurgents must embark on a long-term campaign to stop insurgents' momentum, reverse their gains, and drive them back through these stages and out of business. …" @default.
