دانلود کتاب Support to Resistance: Strategic Purpose and Effectiveness

This monograph is the first in a planned series of three volumes
that will provide Special Operations Forces (SOF) with an in-depth
study of resistance movements. Mr. Will Irwin provides a wealth of
case studies focused on the United States Government’s support
to resistance movements. For each of his case studies the author
summarizes in a clear, concise manner the duration of U.S. support,
the political environments or conditions, the type of operation, the
purpose or objective of U.S. support, and the ultimate outcome:
success, partial success, failure, or an inconclusive outcome. Unfolding world events are indicative of the need for SOF to maintain
and enhance traditional unconventional warfare (UW) skills, but
those skills must be assessed in the context of modern resistance
movement dynamics. This work will serve as a benchmark reference
on resistance movements for the benefit of the special operations
community and its civilian leadership.
