How do cities survive the unsurvivable?

From the rubble of Mariupol to the resilient streets of Kharkiv, Brutal Catalyst is not just a history of the Ukraine war—it is a blueprint for what comes next. Dr. Russell W. Glenn, a world-renowned expert in urban operations and former senior defense analyst, delivers the definitive guide to post-war urban recovery.

Moving beyond military tactics, this book provides a strategic framework for the civil and military leaders who must rebuild nations when the smoke clears. By synthesizing lessons from historical rebuilds in Tokyo, Berlin, and Sarajevo with real-time analysis of the Ukraine conflict, Glenn offers actionable solutions for the complex "system of systems" that is a modern city.

This book provides critical insights on:

• The "Day After" Problem: How to transition immediately from combat operations to stabilization and recovery.
• Urban Triage: Prioritizing housing, healthcare, and unexploded ordnance disposal in resource-starved environments.
• The Corruption Trap: Managing donor funding and international aid to prevent graft from undermining reconstruction.
• Civil-Military Integration: Bridging the gap between armed forces, NGOs, and local municipal leadership.
