Ever wonder why militant groups behave as they do? For instance, why did Al Qaeda attack the World Trade Center whereas the African National Congress tried to avoid civilian bloodshed? Why does Islamic State brag over social media about its gory attacks, while Hezbollah denies responsibility or even apologizes for its carnage? This book shows that militant group behaviour depends on the tactical intelligence of the leaders. The author has extensively studied the political plights of hundreds of militant groups throughout world history and reveals that successful militant leaders have followed three rules. These rules are based on original insights from the fields of political science, psychology, criminology, economics, management, marketing, communication, and sociology. It turns out thereâs a science to victory in militant history. But even rebels must follow rules.

There are currently over 100 stateless nations pressing for greater self-determination around the globe. The vast majority of these groups will never achieve independence. Many groups will receive some accommodation over self-determination, many will engage in civil war over self-determination, and in many cases, internecine violence will plague these groups. This book examines the dynamic internal politics of states and self-determination groups. The internal structure and political dynamics of states and self-determination groups significantly affect information and credibility problems faced by these actors, as well as the incentives and opportunities for states to pursue partial accommodation of these groups. Using new data on the internal structure of all self-determination groups and their states and on all accommodation in self-determination disputes, this book shows that states with some, but not too many, internal divisions are best able to accommodate self-determination groups and avoid civil war. When groups are more internally divided, they are both much more likely to be accommodated and to get into civil war with the state, and also more likely to have fighting within the group. Detailed comparison of three self-determination disputes in the conflict-torn region of northeast India reveals that internal divisions in states and groups affect when these groups get the accommodation they seek, which groups violently rebel, and whether actors target violence against their own co-ethnics. The argument and evidence in this book reveal the dynamic effect that internal divisions within SD groups and states have on their ability to bargain over self-determination. Kathleen Gallagher Cunningham demonstrates that understanding the relations between states and SD groups requires looking at the politics inside these actors.

Many black strategies of daily resistance have been obscured--until now. Race rebels, argues Kelley, have created strategies of resistance, movements, and entire subcultures. Here, for the first time, everyday race rebels are given the historiographical attention they deserve, from the Jim Crow era to the present.

This is 1775. With the War for Independence playing out across the colonies, young Seth and Mercy Abbott find their new marriage tested at every turn as the demands of the frontlines and the home front collide. Not merely rehashing the tales of the most famous men of the time, Rebels details the epic story of the colonists, explorers and traders, wives and daughters, farmers and volunteer soldiers who, in a few short, turbulent years, created the brand-new nation of America. With the American Revolution in the national zeitgeist, creators Brian Wood (The Massive, DMZ, Northlanders) and Andrea Mutti (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Avengers) deliver a gripping piece of historical fiction with Rebels. Praise for the series: "Thrilling.... A comic with heart."--COMIC BEAT "Rebels is a great & beautiful book! Read issue 1 & can't wait for the next one!" Matt Kindt, MIND MGMT A "fresh take on a familiar historical era."-- LOS ANGELES TIMES/ HERO COMPLEX "The New World comes to life in a way you've never see in it before. A comic."--MAN CAVE DAILY "Like nothing you read in your school textbooks."--NEWSARAMA "Rebels is a rare treat in the world of comic books today.... The book offers a great start to a more intimate story of our country's founding, and is something that speaks a lot of truths about the state of our nation then and now."--THE NERDIST "In Rebels, Wood focuses on the politics behind the war and the roiling discontent of the British colonists that eventually boiled over into eight years of bloody conflict.... [Wood and c-creator Mutti] have produced a historical drama that's straightforward and easy to follow, but that doesn't shy away from exploring stickier issues like class divides, the role of women in the colonies, and the complex distinction between friend and foe."--VULTURE "Poignant and so incredibly powerful."--POPMATTERS "One of Wood's biggest strengths is creating rich, believable characters with clear voices and "Rebels" is no different.... Andrea Mutti delivers fast-paced action and panels full of emoting, active characters with spot-on design work... Though it's set against the backdrop of the American Revolution, Wood and Mutti's "Rebels" is about basic human rights and the freedom to grow into a person or a country on one's own time."--COMIC BOOK RESOURCES "An epic historical fiction that embodies the spirit of the American revolution like no other comic, has before. Wood has a proven track record for telling pulse pounding emotional stories."--BLOODY DISGUSTING "You'll definitely want to check out ... [Wood's] latest creator-owned series. Rebels focuses on the many sides of the Revolutionary War conflict. [and] given Wood's track record with historical and politically-charged comics, we're expecting another winner."--IGN "The art really steals the show in Rebels. Andrea Mutti's attention to detail and character design perfectly captured the 1770's and the colonies. He was able to display his diverse talent by drawing serene forests of New Hampshire to the intense scenes of violence in the courthouse. Jordie Bellaire's colors are, naturally, beautiful and push the art to a different level."-COMICOSITY "Fascinating."-COMICVINE "Rebels" #1 is a historical comic telling a story much different than what most publishers are producing. It is an exciting look back at a different time and an overlooked chapter in the American Revolution. History buffs will enjoy the story with its references to the overall big picture of the revolution. But the humanity of Seth Abbott and his family and friends give the story significance in how it affects everyday life."--EXAMINER "The detailed and historically accurate artwork of Andrea Mutti (with the reliably rich coloring work from Jordie Bellaire) that really brings this to life."--MENTAL FLOSS "Captivating."--UNLEASH THE FANBOY "Excellent."-FLICKERING MYTH "Andrea Mutti does a fantastic job of showcasing how bristly, dirty and violent fighting for freedom can be."-BLOODY DISGUSTING "Very highly recommended."-Si Spurrier "Brian Wood may be the best history teacher you never had."--PASTE MAGAZINE "Absolutely entertaining, and thought-provoking. In today's world where we're still debating liberty and tyranny, Rebels is yet another timely relevant comic, much like .... Demo, Channel Zero, Mara, The New York Four, DMZ, and more."--GRAPHIC POLICY ""A welcome breath of fresh air. Rebels #1 is that rare comic book that makes historical fiction come alive."--FREAK SUGAR "Engrossing, enlightening and entertaining."--TECH TIMES "I'm looking forward to it."--FANBOY COMICS "A masterful recreation of America in the 18th century. Mutti has beautifully constructed historical Vermont with verdant forests, large farms, and serene towns that capture the ruralness of American culture at the time. His careful attention to clothing and weaponry shows an understanding of the era while Jordie Bellaire's (Everything) coloring brings the rustic feel of the century to life..... Even without Wood's dialogue the art is able to take readers back in time and give them a sense of the political tensions of the period."--GEEK CHIC LITE "An action packed and dynamic first issue that sucks you in and doesn't let go. If this issue is any indicator then "Rebels" is going to be a very special and memorable series."--GEEKED OUT NATION
