Guerrilla Warfare and Violence in Thomas Goodrich's "Black Flag"

Thomas Goodrich is a writer focusing on the majority of his work on the American Civil War. The book "Black Flag of the Western Border Guerrilla, 1861-1865" depicts some of the most violent guerrilla wars at the border between Kansas and Missouri. He is very objective to present the evil side of the civil war. Goodrich's book depicts horrible death, destruction, cruel killing, rape and assets of millions of dollars seized or destroyed by the federal and southern guerrillas.

In the proposed definition, terrorism and guerrilla war are divided into four groups. (1) Individual terrorism, (2) indiscriminate injury, (3) rural guerilla war, (4) city guerrilla war (see Figure 2).

One of the most difficult problems in deciding terrorism and guerilla activities is the nuance of separating urban guerilla activities from individual terrorism. Both represent convergence of terrorism and guerrilla warfare, and sometimes can be used interchangeably. In fact, city guerilla warfare is often synonymous with terrorism. Schmidt is not only used for political propaganda but also for attribution of guilt as well as "terrorism = (city) guerrilla warfare", it is also used by social and political scientists I believe there is. "

One problem related to the use of the concept of guerrilla warfare arises from its ambiguity. Yehoshafat Harkabi cites this ambiguous attitude in distinguishing guerrilla warfare from guerrilla warfare. Harkabi expressed the guerrilla war as a long-term consumable war, increased violence, boundary blur, and smoothness of the contact line, highlighting human factors. During the war, the guerrilla fighter won and became a normal unit until one was defeated. Likewise, Huntington believes that guerrilla warfare is a kind of war, strategically weak sides assume tactical attacks in selected forms, times, places.

The guerrilla war of the past dynasty has become a way for oppressed people to overcome the enemy's power through an unusual form of war. Guerilla's philosophy is that guerrillas represent the masses. The guerrilla warfare is divided into three stages according to the organization and strength of guerrillas, and the strength of the same degree of enemies. The guerrilla organization is based on the unit's small unit, but it is in line with the normal military force formation. As support for the guerrilla movement increases, the organization will grow. This support may come from inside people or from other governments and individuals. Support includes safe shelter, equipment, equipment, hidden things to general things. The guerrilla strategy is based mainly on the behavior of small units of surprise and advanced knowledge about the area.
