WHY CITIES ARE THE BATTLEFIELD OF THE 21ST CENTURY.

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.

Get your copy today and prepare for the growing threat of conflict in an increasingly urbanized world.

We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence.
