Synopsis "Understanding Urban Warfare"
No environment is more challenging for militaries than a city. No form of combat is more inherentlydestructive than urban warfare. And yet too often, militaries are both unprepared for the challengesof cities and unable to avoid being pulled into brutal urban fights.In Understanding Urban Warfare, readers will gain more than just an appreciation of the uniquechallenges of urban warfare-from the limiting effects of three-dimensional terrain on many weaponsystems and the multiplicity of enemy firing points on a city street to the overarching need tominimize civilian casualties and protect critical infrastructure and cultural property.The book presents new ways to understand the distinctive characteristics of a variety of cities-megacities, global cities, feral cities, and even smart cities-and how those characteristics impactmilitary operations in urban terrain. Readers will also be introduced to some of the most relevanturban battles in modern history-the 1993 Battle of Mogadishu, the 2004 Second Battle of Fallujah inIraq, plus the 2020 Battle of Shusha in the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War, and more-to illuminatetrends and lessons to better understand urban warfare.In an increasingly urban world, the future character of conflict will also be increasingly urban. Thisbook sets out to understand that future.
