Colorado Springs: Ralph Myles Publisher, Inc., 1969. Book. Fine. Hardcover. First Edition.. FIRST PRINTING of the First Edition. A unique history of the Fenian Movement, i.e. the Irish of Ireland and North America who plotted and struggled in the late 19th century to foment revolution at home in Ireland and to establish an independent revolutionary Irish state carved out of Canada, with much information on the two main contending factions within this movement, quarrels over leadership, finances, and strategy, the impact of this movement on American domestic politics, much more. Hardcover with dust jacket, 215pp. A beautiful, pristine copy, unused and unread, the jacket nicely encased in an acid-free Brodart plastic protector. Very rare, especially in the jacketed hardcover and in this fine condition. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall., Ralph Myles Publisher, Inc., 1969, 5, New. This is the first book to set out a comprehensive framework by which to understand terrorism as strategy. It contends that even terrorism of the supposedly nihilist variety can be viewed as a bona fide method for distributing means to fulfil the ends of policy, that is, as a strategy. The main purpose of the work is to describe the dynamics of terrorism and evaluate their effectiveness, as well as to theorize upon, and clarify the correlation between, political ends and terrorist means. The text explains the modus operandi of terrorism, and demonstrates how terrorism relies on manipulating the psychological impact of (usually) relatively small-scale attacks. Using a variety of case studies, The Strategy of Terrorism shows how many campaigns of terrorism end in failure when they lose their power to terrify. The authors spell out what a proper understanding of terrorism as a strategy implies for those who want to make terrorism ineffective, and offer a number of policy recommendations derived directly from their critique. This is the first contribution of strategic studies to the study of terrorism, and will be of much interest to students of terrorism, strategy and security studies, as well as military professionals and policy makers., 6<
