Understanding Insurgent Resilience

This book examines terrorist and insurgent organizations and seeks to understand how such groups persist for so long, while introducing a new strategic doctrine for countering these organizations.

The work discusses whether familial or meritocratic insurgencies are more resilient to counterinsurgency pressures. It argues that it is not the type of organization that determines resilience, but rather the efficiency functions of social capital and trust, which have different natures and forms, within them. It finds that while familial insurgencies can challenge incumbents from the start, they weaken over time, whereas meritocracies will generally strengthen. The book examines four of the most enduring and lethal insurgent organizations: the Haqqani Network in Afghanistan, Lashkar-e-Taiba in Pakistan, Jemaah Islamiyah in Indonesia, and the Abu Sayyaf in the Philippines. The author breaks down each group into its formative strengths and vulnerabilities and presents a bespoke model of strategic counterintelligence that can be used to manipulate, degrade, and destroy each organization.

This book will be of much interest to students of counterinsurgency, terrorism, intelligence, security, and defence studies in general.

Andrew D. Henshaw is an independent adviser to governments on defence and intelligence issues. He has 27 years experience in military Special Forces and Counterintelligence operations and has a PhD from Macquarie University, Australia.

This book is dedicated to my family and my two beautiful possums who inspire my life every day. As a father the most rewarding service in life is watching you both grow, mature, and lead the most wonderful lives you can.

I also dedicate it to all those I have served with in the military and worked with in the Counterintelligence branch over the last 27 years, and to the operators around the world who do the same.
