War is inflicting terrible suffering on the cities in which Ukrainians live, love, work, and raise families. Wartime destruction, injuries, and death have too little diminished despite improvements in weapons technology. By examining the cases of Tokyo, Nagasaki, Berlin, Manila, and Sarajevo and three representative Ukrainian cities-Kharkiv, Kherson, and Mariupol-Brutal Catalyst offers invaluable approaches to urban recovery and transformation. Glenn's broad grasp of essential considerations incorporates international cooperation, demands on leadership and management, effective donor approaches, housing, health care, unexploded ordnance disposal, collaboration with the enemy, corruption, ethnic conflict, and education, these among others. Field experts conclude: "This compelling study of urban populations devastated by military force...is an essential starting point for anyone hoping to bring such cities back to life." -Lieutenant General J.J. Frewen AO DSC (Australian Army, retired) "This important new work is indispensable reading for governmental and private donors who provide the lifeblood funding that supports international urban recovery efforts." -Dr. Robert J. Bunker "At last, compelling proof that lessons from the ongoing conflict in Ukraine go well beyond the tactical and military. Russell Glenn's compelling and hyper-relevant examples clearly signpost the way ahead for Ukraine's urban recovery.... This book deserves, and needs, to be widely read." -Ben Baker MBE (former British Foreign Office Urban Conflict and Security Advisor) "This seminal work captures innumerable lessons learned from recent history. It is now and will continue to be biblically indispensable for Ukrainian and all civil authorities.... Another magnificent and invaluable achievement from one of the most distinguished scholars in the areas of warfare and recovery from it." -Daniel T. Miltenberger, co-author of Guide to IGOs, NGOs, and the Military in Peace and Relief Operations Learn more at: https: //www.ukrainecities.com KeyPoint Press books: https: //keypointpress.com/books
