Overview

"Avoid cities or die within"""" has been the prevailing attitude in the military when it comes to waging war in urban areas. So why do armies continue to fight there? What tactical advantages do they seek? What pitfalls do they face, and how can they achieve success? The authors of this book tackle these strategic questions, drawing on a range of cases to explore how today's professional armies can overcome the challenges of - and even find advantages in - conducting urban operations."
