Recenzii
Rules for Rebels gives us much valuable information about the mindsets and inner workings of specific rebel groups, but its value goes far beyond this. It should help a wide group of international policymakers and analysts, and its conclusions should be compulsory reading for Western governments and their security agencies.
Using a mix of quantitative and qualitative analyses, Abrahms shows that the deliberate killing of civilians significantly reduces a rebellion's chances of success, for at least three main reasons...There is an urgent need to shatter the mystique of civilian targeting, and this book does that very well.
Rules for Rebels is not something that terrorism scholars and policy makers can ignore.
