Thinking Out Of The Box—Reading Military Texts From A Different Perspective, Phillip J. Ridderhof Apr 2018

Thinking Out Of The Box—Reading Military Texts From A Different Perspective, Phillip J. Ridderhof

Naval War College Review

The “deconstruction” of texts—a postmodernist technique that denies the existence of objectively true meanings—can be usefully applied, with adaptations, to the military world. A Marine officer argues that it generates valuable insights by identifying everything that a document’s drafters thought most important, less important, and not important enough to mention.


It Is Time To Temper Our Excessive Interventionism, Doug Bandow Apr 2018

It Is Time To Temper Our Excessive Interventionism, Doug Bandow

Naval War College Review

Threats today are very different from what they once were. Nuclear threats can be deterred or warded off; such conventional threats as exist are primarily to American allies—and the allies can handle them. Terrorism will require entirely different forces and responses. But the United States persists in an outmoded Cold War–era, interventionist posture that no longer fits the world environment.


“9/11” And After—A British View, Michael Howard Apr 2018

“9/11” And After—A British View, Michael Howard

Naval War College Review

To call the struggle against terrorism “America’s War,” perhaps even a war at all, is to miss its full significance, argues one of the world’s most distinguished military historians. It is a global confrontation between those who believe in the values of the Enlightenment and those who detest and fear them. In this confrontation armed force must inevitably play a part, but it can never be won by militaries alone—not even those of the United States.

Most Secret And Confidential: Intelligence In Theage Of Nelson,, Michael Riggle Apr 2018

Most Secret And Confidential: Intelligence In Theage Of Nelson,, Michael Riggle

Naval War College Review

In Most Secret and Confidential, Steven Maffeo has written an exceptional study of how intelligence was collected and used during the French Revolutionary Wars and the Napoleonic Wars of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. To limited degrees, the intelligence activi- ties of the United States, Spain, Russia, Denmark, and several other European nations are described. More detail is pro- vided concerning the excellent French in- telligence efforts under Napoleon. The bulk of the text, however, deals with the use of intelligence by the British government, especially the Admiralty, during the years between 1793 and 1815.


Sir John Fisher’S Naval Revolution,, James Goldrick Apr 2018

Sir John Fisher’S Naval Revolution,, James Goldrick

Naval War College Review

This is a very good book and a very im- portant one. Nicholas Lambert has fol- lowed in the path of Jon Sumida’s In Defense of Naval Supremacy to present a lucid, compelling, and comprehensive analysis of the policies of Admiral Sir John Fisher and the Royal Navy in the decade before 1914. This work is based upon Lambert’s doctoral study of the de- velopment of the submarine, but it goes much farther than his original work in explaining the fundamental elements of Fisher’s naval policies and their effects on the Royal Navy.


The Political Influence Of Naval Force In History,, Jan Van Tol Apr 2018

The Political Influence Of Naval Force In History,, Jan Van Tol

Naval War College Review

Sir James Cable is a noted writer on naval affairs. His Gunboat Diplomacy, 1919–1991 is a well regarded classic on the role of naval force. His latest work is a historical survey of the political purposes for which gov- ernments have made use of naval force. Cable defines “naval force” as that “ex- ercised by fighting ships manned by disciplined sailors at the direction of a central command responsible to the political leadership.” His definition is necessary to distinguish naval force as we understand it today from the force exercised by pirates, privateers, adven- turers, and users of “landing craft” …


Macarthur’S War: Korea And The Undoing Ofan American Hero,, Donald Chisholm Apr 2018

Macarthur’S War: Korea And The Undoing Ofan American Hero,, Donald Chisholm

Naval War College Review

No figure of the Korean War looms quite so large as General of the Army Douglas MacArthur, simultaneously brilliant, ar- rogant, inscrutable, successful, and fallen—all the elements of a Greek tragedy. His military career, spanning the major portion of the twentieth century, also ren- ders him appealing as a symbol of broader themes of that war and of American soci- ety. So we come to Stanley Weintraub’s MacArthur’s War, advertised on its dust jacket as a “fascinating, well rendered history of the general who refuses to fade away,” a book based on “extensive re- search in primary and secondary sources …


Naval Strategy In Northeast Asia: Geostrategic Goals,Policies And Prospects,, Robert Marabito Apr 2018

Naval Strategy In Northeast Asia: Geostrategic Goals,Policies And Prospects,, Robert Marabito

Naval War College Review

The growing economic, strategic, and cultural importance of Asia calls for a U.S. foreign policy attuned to the unique environment of this diverse area. As this economic dreadnought emerges from the fog of uneven treaties, wars, and cultural misunderstanding, U.S. politico-military thinkers must recog- nize the pressures of history and geog- raphy that will dislodge any policy not firmly anchored in Asian realities. Northeast Asia in particular, with its in- creasing importance in world trade, its potential for undersea resource develop- ment, archipelagic territorial disputes, and the possibility of environmental catastro- phe caused by its rapid industrialization and nuclear-waste dumping …


China’S Military Faces The Future,, Jianxiang Bi Apr 2018

China’S Military Faces The Future,, Jianxiang Bi

Naval War College Review

This collection of high-quality essays by some of the leading experts on the Chinese military is the product of the 1997 Seventh Annual Conference on the People’s Liber- ation Army (PLA), sponsored by the American Enterprise Institute. The au- thors, although inspired by different secu- rity and threat perceptions, present sober, straightforward, and reasonable assess- ments of PLA efforts to modernise itself in the 1990s and of its prospects for the im- mediate future. Evidence drawn from the essays shows that the PLA is increasingly modern, confident, and assertive but that it has not yet developed sophisticated the- ories and …


Fire In The East: The Rise Of Asian Military Power Andthe Second Nuclear Age,, Philip L. Ritcheson Apr 2018

Fire In The East: The Rise Of Asian Military Power Andthe Second Nuclear Age,, Philip L. Ritcheson

Naval War College Review

The incorporation of Asia into the West- ern-dominated international system is critical for the United States. At present, the United States is reacting to events in Asia instead of shaping them. This is the fundamental message of Fire in the East, an important book by Paul Bracken of Yale University. Asia, extending from Israel to North Ko- rea, has become increasingly visible since the end of the (primarily Eurocentric) Cold War. Discussions of Asian strength, however, have been flawed. Japan has struggled economically for ten years, and it still lacks political and military power. The intent of Chinese modernization and …


The Second Nuclear Age,, George H. Quester Apr 2018

The Second Nuclear Age,, George H. Quester

Naval War College Review

Readers of Colin Gray’s earlier works will not be disappointed by this new book, nor will his critics be surprised by his conclusions. Gray argues that the end of the Cold War does not mean that nuclear weapons can be eliminated or forgotten. This book is indeed valuable for noting, and taking to task, the wide variety of academic trends and fashions that have drawn such opti- mistic conclusions since the collapse of the Warsaw Pact and the Soviet Union.


The Nuclear Turning Point: A Blueprint For Deep Cuts Anddealerting Of Nuclear Weapons,, Hank Chiles Apr 2018

The Nuclear Turning Point: A Blueprint For Deep Cuts Anddealerting Of Nuclear Weapons,, Hank Chiles

Naval War College Review

Ah, ecstasy! A benign world for the next two decades. Power politics disappear. America leads the drawdown, with Russia following to achieve parity with China, Britain, and France at about two hundred nuclear weapons. Worldwide nuclear verification becomes practically perfect. Permanent members of the UN Security Council agreeably limit their vetoes. It is all here in this book, the product of the “Deep Cuts Study Group.”
