Terrorism Insurgencies & Counterinsurgency Operations

Here is the single most important book on terrorism, insurgencies and counter insurgency operations. It presents an exhaustive analysis of terrorism in Kashmir, the North-Eastern states and Punjab besides left-wing terrorism. We find a revealing expose of the machinations of the ISI and the threat of pan-Islamic fundamentalism. The authors show that ad hoc responses in the nature of fire-fighting do not lead us anywhere. That is why, in spite of having killed thousands of terrorists and arrested several times more, we are still nowhere near controlling terrorism that defies a political, police or military solution. Here the authors develop a comprehensive strategy for counterinsurgency, followed by an enunciation of the crucial tactical concepts that will ensure victory in our war against terrorism. Terrorism is a formidable morass. What we have endured so far is nothing; what remains in store is absolutely petrifying. Skilled terrorists can literally cripple the country. This book reveals, for the first time, the hitherto unknown, shocking possibilities of professional terrorism. Unsurpassed in its intellectual depth and profound insight, this veritable encyclopedia contains everything that matters or needs to be known on the subject. A must reading for members of the security forces, bureaucrats, political leaders, media persons and all those concerned citizens who want to know what has gone wrong and how it can be remedied before it becomes too late.
