Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This monograph delves into the Bolshevik campaign to liquidate the Basmachi Resistance in the Ferghana Valley Section of Central Asia. The Bolsheviks employed a precursor to the modern day D.I.M.E construct in order to overcome early policy missteps. The author uses archival documents from the Ferghana Oblast State Archives that he gathered during his Fulbright Scholar Research during 2002-2003. By utilizing illustrative examples of Diplomatic, Information, Military, and Economic initiatives, it is possible to learn about the evolution of policy as the Bolshevik authorities struggled to regain the initiative against the Basmachi Resistance. These lessons of the Bolshevik counter insurgency against the native Basmachi resistance remain remarkably applicable as Governments face similar challenges in the 21st Century.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
