About This Book

A systematic study of urban insurrections and barricade warfare in European cities, tracing examples from ancient and medieval episodes through more recent disturbances; it compiles historical cases to inform practice. The author compares strategic options available to authorities—suppress the revolt, secure a military quarter, hold an external rallying position, or withdraw—and evaluates their advantages and dangers. He lays out tactical principles for command, troop composition and deployment, and the effect of barricade construction. Detailed chapters treat logistics, garrison and guard arrangements, supply and administration, and procedures for clearing streets and attacking strongpoints. The work closes with preventive measures, policing and regulatory suggestions, and reflections on causes of urban anarchy and the need for civil concord.
