WHY CITIES ARE THE BATTLEFIELD OF THE 21ST CENTURY.
From the streets of Gaza and the rubble of Ukraine to the megacities of tomorrow, urban operations are no longer an exception—they are the dominant mode of conflict. The stakes are immense, and the rules are changing faster than doctrine can keep up.
Urban Operations: War, Crime, and Conflict brings together new contributions from the world’s leading experts in urban security, military strategy, and counter-terrorism. This definitive volume, which originated as a special issue of the Journal of Strategic Security, provides a comprehensive, practitioner-focused look at modern and historic urban security operations, offering strategic lessons vital for preparing for tomorrow's complex threats.
INSIDE THIS VOLUME, YOU WILL FIND CRITICAL INSIGHTS ON:
- The Modern Battlefield: Case studies of urban warfare across different regions and decades, from Kyiv and Gaza to Haiti and Venezuela.
- Non-State Actors: New challenges in policing the convergence of traditional military conflict, organized crime, and terror groups.
- The Cutting Edge of Tech: Theoretical contributions on the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and advanced data processing on urban combat.
- Lessons Learned: Strategic takeaways for military commanders, policy advisors, and emergency response teams to improve operational readiness.
THIS IS A MUST-HAVE REFERENCE.
Co-edited by John P. Sullivan, Nathan P. Jones, and Daniel Weisz Argomedo, this volume is required reading for intelligence analysts, military professionals, security policymakers, and anyone seeking to understand the modern face of war.
