This Small Wars Journal (SWJ) Anthology documents over a decade of writings on urban conflict. In addition to essays originally published at SWJ it adds new content including an introduction by the editors, a preface on Blood and Concrete by David Kilcullen, a foreword Urban Warfare Studies by John Spencer, a postscript Cities in the Crossfire: The Rise of Urban Violence by Margarita Konaev, and an afterword Urban Operations: Meeting Challenges, Seizing Opportunities, Improving the Approach by Russell W. Glenn. These essays frame the discussion found in the collection’s remaining 49 chapters. Blood and Concrete continues the legacy of Small Was Journal’s coverage of urban operations, conflict and combat.
