First, it seeks to provide an understanding of the Nigerian military’s internal role – a role that today, as a result of internal threats, pivots towards counter-insurgency. The book illustrates how organisational culture, historical experience, institutions, and doctrine are critical to understanding the Nigerian military and its attitudes and actions against the threat of civil disobedience, today and in the past.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe second aim of the book is to examine the Nigerian military campaign against Boko Haram insurgents – specifically, plans and operations between June 2011 and April 2017. Within this second theme, emphasis is placed on the idea of battlefield innovation and the reorganisation within the Nigerian military since 2013, as the Nigerian Army and Air Force recalibrated themselves for COIN warfare. A certain mystique has surrounded the technicalities of COIN operations by the Army against Boko Haram, and this book aims to disperse that veil of secrecy. Furthermore, the work’s analysis of the air force’s role in counter-insurgency is unprecedented within the literature on military warfare in Nigeria.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of great interest to students of military studies, counter-insurgency, counter-terrorism, African politics, and security studies in general.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47605344829676,"sku":"9781138098886","price":341.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781138098886-counter-insurgency-in-nigeria.jpg?v=1778130488"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/akali-omeni.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
