Edited By Ryan Bishop, Gregory K. Clancey And John Phillips. Includes Bibliographical References And Index.
This collection investigates the city as a primary site of vulnerability, examining how urban environments are conceptualized, targeted, and transformed by military, political, and economic forces. The editors, Ryan Bishop, Gregory K. Clancey, and John Phillips, assemble a multidisciplinary group of scholars to analyze the intersection of urban planning, security doctrine, and historical conflict. By synthesizing perspectives from architecture, history, and political theory, the text argues that the modern city is increasingly defined by its status as a strategic objective in both physical and ideological warfare.
What You Will Find
