The Nature Of War, Gordon B. Turner
The Nature Of War, Gordon B. Turner
Naval War College Review
It was a realization on the part of the staff that war is an integral part of society; that war is waged in accord with the dictates of the state; and that the conduct of war is subject to the capacities and limitations of civilian life. It was a realization also that to study war apart from the context of society is to misunderstand the very nature of war Itself.
Prisoners Of War: Prescriptive Conduct And Compliance In Captive Situations, Philip R. Holt
Prisoners Of War: Prescriptive Conduct And Compliance In Captive Situations, Philip R. Holt
Naval War College Review
The issue of the conduct of prisoners of war is an emotional one. Against a backdrop of international agreements which provide that the captive will be removed from the chessboard of the battlefield like a captured pawn to await the next game, lurks the very real possibility that the captor will exploit the captive to further his own ends.
Cold War Operations, Lyman B. Kirkpatrick Jr
Cold War Operations, Lyman B. Kirkpatrick Jr
Naval War College Review
One of the very important aspects. In discussing communism at the present time is to put it in proper perspectives. We are so deeply concerned with out own affairs, both domestic and foreign, that we are inclined to overlook that fact that there is almost as deep, if not deeper, turmoil in the Communist world.

Offshore Guerrilla War, Howard R. Simpson
Offshore Guerrilla War, Howard R. Simpson
Naval War College Review
The low-lying fog muffles the sound of secondary explosions, and the tropical night reduce the gun flashes to glowworm points of orange light. The thump of quick-firing guns bounces between the many islands, echoes over the water, and slowly dies.

The Role Of Riverine Warfare In The Civil War, John F. Dillon
The Role Of Riverine Warfare In The Civil War, John F. Dillon
Naval War College Review
With the possible exception of the American Revolution, the war between the States marked this country's history and psyche as has no other. Measured in terms of sacrifice that touched almost every home, of battles fought and Jives lost, it was the greatest war in the history of the Nation prior to Pearl Harbor. The tattered flags from its fields of glory are treasured, North and South. Monuments to its heroes stand in all our older cities. 1

Motivational Factors Of American Prisoners Of War Held By The Democratic Republic Of Vietnam, Robert J. Naughton
Motivational Factors Of American Prisoners Of War Held By The Democratic Republic Of Vietnam, Robert J. Naughton
Naval War College Review
January 1973 witnessed the end of the longest continual armed conflict in the 200 year history of the United States. Sixty days after the signing of the Paris agreement, the longest recorded incarceration of American prisoners of war (POW's) ended for more than 500 men, over 450 of whom had been held in the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (DRV). Several of these men had endured more than 8 years as prisoners of the DRV, while one POW held by the Vietcong was detained over 9 years.

The Indian-Pakistan War And The Asian Power Balance, Fred Greene
The Indian-Pakistan War And The Asian Power Balance, Fred Greene
Naval War College Review
India's complete triumph in its surprisingly brief 2-week·.war with Pakistan seems to have had: relatively little impact on world politics or the Asian power balance. Although it created the new state of Bangladesh, it did not alter military alignments or the relative weights of the major states involved and seems to have induced little, if any, change in their foreign policies. Almost a year later, with India and Pakistan groping for a bilateral understanding and the Dacca regime trying to regulate its domestic affairs, the main international political issue seems to be the substantial but delimited one of ordering a …
The U.S. Navy And The Problem Of Oil In A Future War, David A. Rosenberg
The U.S. Navy And The Problem Of Oil In A Future War, David A. Rosenberg
Naval War College Review
During late 1974 and early 1975, reports appeared in such publications as Time, Newsweek, and Harper's describing in detail how the United States might, in the event of another oil embargo, militarily intervene to seize Arab oilfields in order to ensure access to that essential commodity. The reports were generally dismissed by senior American policymakers. 1 While it remains to be seen whether the military option will be exercised in the Persian Gulf of the l 970's, recently declassified documents from the late l 940's indicate that speculation about American mili• tary action in that area is not a recent …
Crisis Decisions Making In Israel: The Case Oif The October 1973 Middle East War, Robert H. Mckenzie-Smith
Crisis Decisions Making In Israel: The Case Oif The October 1973 Middle East War, Robert H. Mckenzie-Smith
Naval War College Review
The Israeli Government, facing the crisis which led to the October 1973 Middle East war, developed strategic solutions markedly different from those developed in both 1956 and 1967 in at least two significant respects. Both in 1956 and 1967 Israel was the initiator of at least the physical hostilities, In October 1973 the Israeli Government deliberately chose not to employ the tactic of preemptive attack which earlier governments had used in both 1956 and 1 967 and which had, in fact, become institutionalized as a part of the political-military doctrine of the state. In addition, in October 1973 the Israeli …

War, Peace, And Society In The 1980'S A Historian;S View, Richard A. Preston
Naval War College Review
History, it is said, stops with the present. Because historical methodology depends on the use of written records and related evidence, and because there are no records of the future, the historical process was long considered only as one in which an infinite variety of factors, some of them unmeasurable and others unforeseeable, and all liable to be affected by human free-will intervention or by chance, created a future that was inevitably unique and discrete, and therefore unpredictable.

The War Of Unengaged Forces - Superpowers At Sea In An Era Of Competitive Coexistence, Russell L. Madison
The War Of Unengaged Forces - Superpowers At Sea In An Era Of Competitive Coexistence, Russell L. Madison
Naval War College Review
In this age, the terms "war" and "peace" do not suffice to describe the complex realities with which the statesman and the soldier must grapple. "Unengaged force warfare" is a concept that transcends this difficulty and allows us to examine the critical challenges that face our nation today. The most active frontier in unengaged force warfare at present is at sea, and it is here that the eventual outcome of unengaged force warfare may well be decided.

Beating Moscow In The War Of Ideas And Ideals, Maurice Tugwell
Beating Moscow In The War Of Ideas And Ideals, Maurice Tugwell
Naval War College Review
One of the great contests of history is being fought now, in the psychological arena. In the Red Corner, the Communist Party of the Soviet Union; in the Blue, the Western Alliance. Red, a hardened professional, is aggressive, inventive. and knows how to hit, Blue, a much nicer guy who never really wanted to get into the fight business, is covering up, dodging, occasionally throwing back a right hand or jabbing with his left.
