Blood and Concrete: 21st Century Conflict in Urban Centers and Megacities
This book provides a foundation for understanding urban operations and sustaining urban warfare research. This Small Wars Journal (SWJ) Anthology documents over a decade of writings on urban conflict. In addition to essays originally published at SWJ it adds latest content including an introduction by the editors, a preface on “Blood and Concrete” by David Kilcullen, a foreword Urban Warfare Studies by John Spencer, a postscript “Cities in the Crossfire: The Rise of Urban Violence” by Margarita Konaev, and an afterword “Urban Operations: Meeting Challenges, Seizing Opportunities, Improving the Approach” by Russell W. Glenn. CONDITION: 2 sides of the book are extremely slightly dirty. The spine has a light little wrinkle but no creasing. The front cover has some minor bending wear in the corners. The back cover has a light sticker scar and a bit of surface/corner rubbing. Pages have truly little corner wear, and the first page has just a few bookstore marks written in pencil.
