The Poisoned Chalice: Urban Warfare in the Twenty-First Century and Beyond. 330 $aThis book investigates the complexities of modern urban operations-a particularly difficult and costly method of fighting, and one that is on the rise. Contributors examine the lessons that emerge from a range of historical case studies, from nineteenth-century precedents to the Battle of Shanghai; Stalingrad, German town clearance, Mandalay, and Berlin during World War II; and from the Battle of Algiers to the Battle for Fallujah in 2004. Each case study illuminates the features that differentiate urban operations from fighting in open areas, and the factors that contribute to success and failure. The volume concludes with reflections on the key challenges of urban warfare in the twenty-first century and beyond. 606 $aHistory, Modern 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945 606 $aWorld history 606 $aMilitary history 606 $aPolitics and war 606 $aModern History 606 $aHistory of World War II and the Holocaust 606 $aWorld History, Global and Transnational History 606 $aMilitary History 606 $aMilitary and Defence Studies 615 0$aHistory, Modern. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945. 615 0$aWorld history. 615 0$aMilitary history. 615 0$aPolitics and war. 615 14$aModern History. 615 24$aHistory of World War II and the Holocaust. 615 24$aWorld History, Global and Transnational History. 615 24$aMilitary History. 615 24$aMilitary and Defence Studies. 676 $a355.426 676 $a355.426 702 $aFremont-Barnes$b Gregory$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910366576703321 996 $aA History of Modern Urban Operations$92227737 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01237nam a22003011i 4500 001 991004048839707536 005 20250502123736.0 008 031111s1992 it ao er 001|0 ita 020 $a8804357339 035 $ab12512059-39ule_inst 035 $aARCHE-054532$9ExL 040 $aBibl.
