In the Shadow of Violence cover

As civil wars and insurgencies rage around the globe, Klaus Schlichte's "In the Shadow of Violence" addresses a crucial question: why do some groups succeed in violently seizing and holding power while others fail? What makes for a successful non-state armed force? Arguing that success rests on the ability of these groups to transform the power of violence into legitimate domination, both inside their ranks and in the larger society, Schlichte explores the techniques and strategies they employ - and the long shadow of violence they must overcome along the way.
