study of political violence. Clutterbuck
was commissioned into the Royal Engineers in 1937 after graduating in mechanical
sciences from Pembroke College,
Cambridge. After Dunkirk, he went through both the Western
Desert and Italian campaigns. The army sent Clutterbuck to different the Irgun Zvei Leumi's terrorist campaign. In 1956, up against Chinese communists,
Lieutenant-Colonel Clutterbuck shed his rank badges to go on patrol as an
ordinary soldier. As chief engineer Far East, 1966–68, Brigadier Clutterbuck
put into practice in northeast Thailand the counter-terrorist philosophy he was
gradually evolving. His next job after Thailand was the top one, as
Engineer-in-Chief (1968–70) at the Ministry of Defence. While in the Far East,
however, he had started to read for a PhD in politics. In 1968, he enrolled at
the University of London. His
last army post was back in the specialisation he had created for himself, as
chief army instructor of the Royal College of Defence
Studies, devoted to peacekeeping or "low-intensity operations" as
they were now termed. His Who's Who entry gave his recreations as
"sailing, canoeing and the study of revolution". On retirement in
1972 he received his PhD, and marched straight into the post of lecturer in
political conflict at Exeter University. Nicholas Shakespeare reports
that Clutterbuck's secret visits to Lima, Peru in the early 1990s transformed
police and army operations against the Sendero Luminoso when the organisation appeared on the
verge of overthrowing the government. His advice that a forensic rather than
militaristic approach be taken to counter-terrorist operations was successfully
applied by police chiefs such as General Antonio
Ketin Vidal and led directly to the arrest of Abimael Guzman, leader of the Senderistas, and the winding up
of his organisation.
