Description
Summary:Relocation as a strategy and operational approach in war has reappeared in various forms from the late 18th century to the present day. Each chapter covers a different case study, including the removal of Native Americans in the United States, La Reconcentracion in Cuba, the American internment of Filipinos after the Balangiga Massacre, the deportation of the Boer population in South Africa and the relocation of Ottoman Armenians and Russian Jews. Bringing together the threads of the separate case studies, the conclusion reaffirms relocation as a deliberate operational approach used by major powers in warfare against real or perceived threats.
