About This Item
Osprey Publishing, Oxford, 2012. Hardcover in Dustjacket. New. Throughout history cities have been at the center of warfare, from sieges to street-fighting, from peace-keeping to coups de mains. Sun Tzu admonished his readers of The Art of War that the lowest realization of warfare was to attack a fortified city. Indeed, although strategists have advised against it across the millennia, armies and generals have been forced nonetheless to attack and defend cities, and victory has required that they do it well. In Concrete Hell Louis DiMarco has provided a masterful study of the brutal realities of urban warfare, of what it means to seize and hold a city literally block by block. Such a study could not be more timely. We live in an increasingly urbanizing world, a military unprepared for urban operations is unprepared for tomorrow. Di Marco masterfully studies the successes and failures of past battles in order to provide lessons for today's tacticians. Written by a US Army Urban Warfare specialist, this offers fascinating insight into how modern warfare has evolved have WWII to the present day, with specially commissioned maps and 70 photos.pp. 232 illusts #010122 Elizabeth's Bookshops have been one of Australia's premier independent book dealers since 1973.
