ISBN  978-1-884733-52-9 

 

Classic insurgents, terrorists, guerrillas, militias, police agencies, criminal organizations, mercenaries, pirates, drug cartels, apocalyptic religious extremists, orchestrated rioters and mobs, and tribal factions — all of these disparate organizations, defined as “armed groups”, can and do pose major security challenges to the United States.  

 

Its 500 pages of comprehensive coverage and new insights make Armed Groups eminently suitable for adoption as a college and graduate-level textbook.
