Eastern Exit—Rescue “. . . From The Sea”, Gary J. Ohls
Eastern Exit—Rescue “. . . From The Sea”, Gary J. Ohls
Naval War College Review
Operation EASTERN EXIT, the January 1991 evacuation of the U.S. embassy in Mogadishu, Somalia, was an early and improvised, but highly successful, application of the expeditionary concepts devised to meet the emerging (dis)order of the post–Cold War world.
Fortuitous Endeavor—Intelligence And Deception In Operation Torch, John Patch
Fortuitous Endeavor—Intelligence And Deception In Operation Torch, John Patch
Naval War College Review
The Allied invasion of North Africa in November 1942 combined detailed planning, aggressive signals intelligence, deception, operational security, and good luck to achieve success seldom repeated—and that cannot be in the future if the episode’s lessons are not heeded.

Assessing The New U.S. Maritime Strategy—A Window Into Chinese Thinking, Andrew S. Erickson
Naval War College Review
Chinese reactions to the U.S. Navy’s new maritime strategy provide a window into a larger strategic dynamic—not just in East Asia, where China is already developing as a great power, but globally, where it has the potential to play a major role as well. Three unofficial Chinese articles seem particularly useful for assessing those reactions.

A Rage For Glory: The Life And Times Of Commodorestephen Decatur, Usn,, Wade G. Dudley
A Rage For Glory: The Life And Times Of Commodorestephen Decatur, Usn,, Wade G. Dudley
Naval War College Review
Accomplished historian and author James de Kay captures the essence of an age, as well as the spirit of a man, in his biography of Commodore Stephen Decatur. This finely written narrative, aimed at a general readership, may lack the scholarly apparatus expected of his- torical monographs, but it certainly does not lack the scholarship and analysis that is the hallmark of de Kay’s work. Yet if this book sometimes appears to be a cross between an action-thriller and a hagiography, there is a reason. Decatur’s active quest for fame and glory, as well as the deep sense of honor …
All The Factors Of Victory: Admiral Joseph Mason Reevesand The Origins Of Carrier Airpower,, Chris Madsen
All The Factors Of Victory: Admiral Joseph Mason Reevesand The Origins Of Carrier Airpower,, Chris Madsen
Naval War College Review
Admiral Joseph Reeves was an impor- tant influence on the development of American naval aviation during the interwar period, but like many other se- nior officers who served in peacetime, he has not received the attention he de- serves. Thomas Wildenberg, building upon his previous work on dive bomb- ing in the U.S. Navy prior to the Battle of Midway, strives to honor Admiral Reeves with a scholarly biography fo- cused on his professional life and contributions.
Making War, Thinking History,, Jan Van Tol
Making War, Thinking History,, Jan Van Tol
Naval War College Review
Jeffrey Record is professor of strategy and international security at the Air War College, Maxwell Air Force Base. He is the author of four books and nu- merous monographs on U.S. military strategy and has extensive Capitol Hill experience, including service as a pro- fessional staffer for the Senate Armed Services Committee. This work assesses how the experiences of Munich and Vietnam influenced presidential decisions on the use of force in every administration from Harry Truman to Bill Clinton. Both Munich and Vietnam are regularly invoked in current political debate in an attempt to justify a viewpoint, especially since the …
The Diffusion Of Military Technology And Ideas,, George H. Quester
The Diffusion Of Military Technology And Ideas,, George H. Quester
Naval War College Review
This book offers a rich collection of re- search papers on very important top- ics: the much discussed revolution in military affairs (RMA), and the less dis- cussed diffusions of new military tech- nology and the accompanying changes in military doctrine to other countries. The authors were carefully chosen ex- perts in history, political science, and sociology, who address the very impor- tant factors of national culture as they affect the application of new military technologies.
A Time Of Our Choosing: America’S War In Iraq, D. L. Teska
A Time Of Our Choosing: America’S War In Iraq, D. L. Teska
Naval War College Review
The late Washington Post publisher Philip Graham once said that journal- ism is the first draft of history. Todd S. Purdum’s A Time of Our Choosing: America’s War in Iraq, is the first draft of the history of the U.S. occupation of Iraq. Months before the Department of Defense made the controversial deci- sion to embed reporters within U.S. units, Purdum was in Iraq reporting the war.

Nato And The Former Yugoslavia:, Tom Fedyszyn
Naval War College Review
As the world steps farther away from the Cold War, the evolving structure of the international system continues to fascinate informed citizens as well as professional scholars. In this work, Joyce Kaufman, professor of political science at Whittier College, contributes to the debate on the evolution and fu- ture of the Atlantic Alliance, particu- larly as the situation in the Balkans confronted a post–Cold War (and ex- panding) NATO. In detailing the events between the collapse of Soviet commu- nism (1990) and the attack on the twin towers (2001), the author makes a forceful case for the need for a …

Race For The Decisive Weapon, James P. Levy
Race For The Decisive Weapon, James P. Levy
Naval War College Review
It is popularly understood that after the spectacular American victory at the battle of Midway the aircraft carrier reigned supreme; that war at sea was changed completely; and that the presence of America’s two surviving carriers after the sinking of Admiral Chuichi Nagumo’s four flattops forced the cancellation of the Midway invasion and the retreat of Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto’s eleven battleships, sixteen cruisers, and fifty-three destroyers from the Central Pacific.
Midway, Thomas Wildenberg
Midway, Thomas Wildenberg
Naval War College Review
Six decades after the spectacular American victory over the Imperial Japanese Navy’s First Air Fleet, the reasons behind the U.S. Navy’s success at the battle of Midway are still not fully understood. Though the details of this famous battle continue to be argued in the pages of scholarly jour- nals, the critical role of doctrine has not been properly analyzed.1 Yet it was better doctrine that ultimately led to the American victory once the forces were engaged, a victory that changed the course of war in the Pacific.
Hospital Ships In The War On Terror, Richard J. Grunawalt
Hospital Ships In The War On Terror, Richard J. Grunawalt
Naval War College Review
Employment of military hospital ships in support of the war on terror is militarily, politically, and morally appropriate. White ships adorned with the red cross or red crescent are internationally recognized as protected platforms engaged exclusively in the care and treatment of the casualties of war or the victims of disaster, whether natural or manmade. Despite the humanity of their mission, outdated rules of conventional and customary international law, designed for a bygone era, hamper their effectiveness and imperil their safety.
The Mosquito Can Be More Dangerous Than The Mortar Round, Arthur M. Smith, Craig Hooper
The Mosquito Can Be More Dangerous Than The Mortar Round, Arthur M. Smith, Craig Hooper
Naval War College Review
These words, penned in 1943 by the commander in chief of British forces in Burma during World War II, underline the reality that losses to malaria and other preventable diseases among Allied forces operating in the China-Burma- India theater far exceeded the number of casualties inflicted by enemy action.1 Today, as the global war on terrorism evolves, a similar failure to appreciate noncombat environmental threats—including mosquitoes and other disease- carrying insect vectors—will once again degrade combat effectiveness of deployed forces.
From Conscripts To Volunteers, Cindy Williams
From Conscripts To Volunteers, Cindy Williams
Naval War College Review
Since the Cold War ended, twelve of NATO’s twenty-six member states have suspended compulsory military service or announced plans to phase it out, thus joining the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Luxembourg in the family of nations with all-volunteer armed forces (AVFs). Most of NATO’s other members are deeply reducing the number of conscripts they call up each year, relying increasingly on volunteers to fill their military ranks.
Terrorism And The New Security Dilemma, Philip G. Cerny
Terrorism And The New Security Dilemma, Philip G. Cerny
Naval War College Review
Since 11 September 2001, the primary focus of American foreign policy has os- tensibly been the “war on terror,” although the George W. Bush administra- tion has also given priority to other objectives, such as Iraq and national missile defense. This emphasis on the threat of terrorism is extremely valuable for ana- lytical purposes, because it draws attention to key aspects of security today—in particular the central paradox of how to deal with the increasingly diffuse char- acter of threats with the means available to state actors, in what is still to a large extent an interstate system.
President’S Forum, J.L. Shuford
President’S Forum, J.L. Shuford
Naval War College Review
These have been several very busy months since I was installed as the President of the Naval War College. To be serving in a position once held by Admirals Alfred Thayer Mahan, Raymond Spruance, and Stansfield Turner (among others) is very humbling but also exciting. I return to the College at a time when the need for military leaders able to think critically and shape the future has never been greater.

The “Triangle Of Death”—Medical Sustainability In Expeditionary Sea-Based Operations, Arthur M. Smith
Naval War College Review
Sea bases and the joint forces operating from them must be ready for numerous and severe casualties—and yet they will neither possess nor be close to sophisticated medical resources. Without timely delivery of care, the result is increased mortality and morbidity of combat casualties. How will the sick and combat wounded receive proper treatment?
