BOOK EXCERPT:
A comparative analysis of Maoist or "people's wars" since the American defeat and departure from Vietnam in 1975. It combines academic research with eye-witness accounts to examine similar prolonged, post- Vietnam insurgencies, including Thailand, the Philippines, Peru, and Sri Lanka. Unlike Vietnam, however, these insurgencies failed, and Marks is particularly interested in how the world's strongest power failed where Third World governments have succeeded. Distributed by ISBS.

BOOK EXCERPT:
Tackling one of the most prevalent myths about insurgencies, this book examines and rebuts the popular belief that Mao Zedong created a fundamentally new form of warfare that transformed the nature of modern insurgency. The labeling of an insurgent enemy as using “Maoist Warfare” has been a common phenomenon since Mao’s victory over the Guomindang in 1949, from Malaya and Vietnam during the Cold War to Afghanistan and Syria today. Yet, this practice is heavily flawed. This book argues that Mao did not invent a new breed of insurgency, failed to produce a coherent vision of how insurgencies should be fought, and was not influential in his impact upon subsequent insurgencies. Consequently, Mao’s writings cannot be used to generate meaningful insights for understanding those insurgencies that came after him. This means that scholars and policymakers should stop using Mao as a tool for understanding insurgencies and as a straw man against whom to target counterinsurgency strategies.
