Trade ReviewRecommended. General readers through faculty; professionals. * CHOICE *
It is certainly groundbreaking, and deserves a place on the bookshelf of any reader interested in irregular warfare. * Journal of Military History *
This book assembles a very useful selection of introductions to counterinsurgency relocation, including some (notably ... those in Cuba, South Africa, and Vietnam) which are excellent stand-alone summaries. * Journal of Contemporary History *
This is a fascinating, ground-breaking book that shows how so many counter-insurgency campaigns have used relocation and ‘concentration’ as an operational method against subject populations in revolt and during conflict, often on misplaced intelligence assessments. * Matthew Hughes, Professor of Military History, Brunel Univeristy, UK *
