Very good. No dust jacket. Cover has slight wear and soiling. viii, 71, [1] p. Endnotes. From an on-line posting: "The author addresses the subject of the multifaceted nature and predominant role of gangs operating as state and nonstate proxies in the modern unbalanced global security environment. In every phase of the process of compelling radical political change, agitator-gangs and popular militias play significant roles in helping their political patrons prepare to take control of a targeted political-social entity. As a result, gangs (bandas criminales or whatever they may be called) are important components of a highly complex political-psychological-military act contemporary irregular asymmetrical political war. Dr. Max G. Manwaring is a Professor of Military Strategy at the U.S. Army War College. He has served in Southern Command, and the Defense Intelligence Agency. Dr. Manwaring is the author and co-author of books dealing with Latin American security affairs, political-military affairs, and insurgency and counterinsurgency."
