Also includes Notes and Index. Urban Combat is central to modern warfare. Any future conflict, in Europe or worldwide, is likely to be fought largely in towns and cities. Today, Urban Combat techniques are being revised and soldiers trained in these skills to an unprecedented level. In any future conflict, it would be impossible for armies to avoid fighting in towns and cities. This realization has led all NATO armies and the Soviet Army to place a new emphasis on Fighting in Built Up Areas. The story of Urban Combat, from World War II to the Gulf conflict, makes compelling reading. Mike Dewar had successful careers in the army and the International Institute for Strategic Studies and then in 1995 became responsible for the Memorial Awareness Board (MAB). In the Army he rose to the rank of full Colonel. He then became Deputy Director of the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) in London. He then moved into communications and advocacy. With his roots in Scotland, he was also the Chief of the Dewar Clan. Mike Dewar was commissioned into The Rifle Brigade in 1962. He was a platoon commander in Cyprus and in the jungle campaign in Borneo, an instructor at The Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst, served in Berlin and Germany during the Cold War, was a Company Commander in Northern Ireland, served as General Nigel Bagnall's principal operations Staff Officer in the British Corps HQ at the height of the Cold War, commanded The Light Division Depot and The 2nd Battalion The Royal Green Jackets, and was the first Colonel Defence Studies. He left the military in 1990 to take up the appointment as Deputy Director of the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) in London, where he became a familiar face on the nation's TV screens as the leading UK commentator on The Gulf Wars, Iraq, Northern Ireland, the Bosnian conflict and Afghanistan. Not only was he able to draw on his military experience but he also traveled to many of these conflict zones as part of his duties at the IISS. Mike Dewar was an established author on military history and contemporary military issues with 15 published books. His best known works include The British Army in Northern Ireland, which has been required reading at several Staff Colleges for many years; A History of Deception in Warfare; A History of Urban Warfare; Brush Fire Wars and An Anthology of Military Quotations.
