Rebel Strongholds

The book progresses by first defining what constitutes a rebel stronghold, differentiating it from conventional military fortifications. It then delves into case studies, grouped thematically to highlight different aspects of stronghold construction and defense. For example, some strongholds exploit challenging geographic environments like mountains or forests, while others thrive in urban settings through social networks. This approach offers a unique perspective by focusing on the spatial dimension of rebellion, moving beyond traditional accounts to examine the concrete spaces where resistance takes root.
