In fact, the Soviet-inspired wars of liberation against imperialism have been eclipsed by reactionary, jihadist wars. By all indications in Afghanistan, Chechnya, Somalia, and Iraq, Islamic militants have embraced revolutionary warfare, although not Mao's People's War model. Therefore, a study of revolutionary warfare is apt because the conflict between the West and radical jihadism will continue to take place in dysfunctional, collapsing, or failed states. The author examines the political-military lessons from these conflicts and suggests that the United States should minimize the level and type of assistance to states fighting in an insurgency because these states possess greater advantages than previously supposed.RevolutionsEvaluationVietnamCase studiesRevolutionsPolitical ScienceHILCCLaw, Politics & GovernmentHILCCPolitical Theory of the StateHILCCAlgeriaHistoryRevolution, 1954-1962EvaluationNicaraguaHistoryRevolution, 1979EvaluationRevolutionsEvaluationRevolutions.Political ScienceLaw, Politics & GovernmentPolitical Theory of the StateMillen Raymond A.1155353Army War College (U.S.) Strategic Studies Institute,PQKBBOOK9910867451603321The political context behind successful revolutionary movements, three case studies : Vietnam (1955-63), Algeria (1945-62), and Nicaragua (1967-79)4171812UNINA
