Naval War College Review
I was very interested to read Dr. Scott Truver’s recent article “Mines and Under- water IEDs in U.S. Ports and Waterways” in the Winter 2008 edition of the Re- view. I was all the more interested because of my own involvement with this issue in the 1980s and early 1990s as part of the Navy’s previous Maritime Defense Zone program along the U.S. East Coast.

Assignment Pentagon: How To Excel In A Bureaucracy, 4th Ed., Albert J. Shimkus
Naval War College Review
For this, the fourth edition of his well received book, Major General Perry M. Smith, U.S. Air Force (Ret.), has added a coauthor, Colonel Daniel M. Gerstein, U.S. Army (Ret.). Colonel Gerstein served for twenty-six years in combat, peace, and humanitarian operations. He also served in the Pentagon for al- most ten years in senior advisory and leadership roles. This edition has been expanded into sixteen chapters, each adding consider- able value to the publication. One of the more interesting and vital chapters for properly grasping the workings of “the building” is devoted to “under- standing the process.”

Brown Waters Of Africa: Portuguese Riverine Warfare, 1961–1974, Martin N. Murphy
Naval War College Review
Counterinsurgency warfare is what used to be called “colonial warfare.” Although the association might make some people uncomfortable—Americans perhaps more than most, given their aversion to colonialism—much of the strategic intent and many of the tactics, techniques, and procedures of modern counterinsurgency derive directly from the colonial wars and police actions of the past.
Defending The Homeland: Historical Perspectives On Radicalism, Terrorism,And State Responses, Randy L. Unger
Defending The Homeland: Historical Perspectives On Radicalism, Terrorism,And State Responses, Randy L. Unger
Naval War College Review
Defending the Homeland is not about homeland defense as defined by the De- fense Department—the military defense of U.S. territory from external attack. Rather, what the editors provide is a wide-ranging examination of, first, how the United States has responded to a va- riety of internal and external threats over its history and, second, how soci- etal reactions to terrorism may unin- tentionally encourage the terrorist mind-set. The volume comprises nine academic essays from among those sub- mitted to the 2005 Senator Rush D. Holt History Conference at West Vir- ginia University.

Research & Debate, Wang Wei
Research & Debate, Wang Wei
Naval War College Review
Weaponry and concepts (that is to say, combat theory, or more specifically, doctrine regarding the practical employment of some specific weapon) have en- dured as themes of warfare throughout the history of mankind. From the perspective of their development, there has always been an interactive relation- ship between weaponry and combat theory. Lack of coordination in the development of these two elements has led to a spiral in which one continually supersedes the other.

Admiral Richard G. Colbert, John B. Hattendorf
Naval War College Review
Most people who serve in navies or devote their days to writing and thinking about naval power take almost for granted the concept that navies are an expression of national power and therefore, in modern terminology, reinforce nationalism. We have become almost hypnotized by the idea that there is a continuum from national policy to naval strategy and tactics.
Developing The Navy’S Operational Leaders, Christopher D. Hayes
Developing The Navy’S Operational Leaders, Christopher D. Hayes
Naval War College Review
Admiral Mullen’s words accurately reflect the Navy’s traditional pronounce- ment on leadership. Yet for most of the past century the Navy has struggled to define formally and institutionalize its development process for naval leaders. Just as the Navy accepts that “everything starts and ends with leadership,” it comfortably assumes that leadership “just happens,” as a natural derivative of operational assignments.
Reflections On Future War, Mackubin Thomas Owens
Reflections On Future War, Mackubin Thomas Owens
Naval War College Review
Part of preparing for war is to understand it. What is the nature of war? What is the character of war? Will war in the future be like war in the past? These are critical questions that today’s military professional must attempt to answer. Unfortunately, our track record is not very good. To envision the future is to “look through a glass darkly.” A case in point is the debate that took place a decade ago in the wake of the Cold War’s end and Operation DESERT STORM, the first Gulf War, of 1991.

China And The United States In The Indian Ocean, James R. Holmes, Toshi Yoshihara
Naval War College Review
The Asian seas today are witnessing an intriguing historical anomaly—the simultaneous rises of two homegrown maritime powers against the backdrop of U.S. dominion over the global commons. The drivers behind this apparent irregularity in the Asian regional order are, of course, China and India. Their aspi- rations for great-power status and, above all, their quests for energy security have compelled both Beijing and New Delhi to redirect their gazes from land to the seas.
Revisiting Taiwan’S Defense Strategy, William S. Murray
Revisiting Taiwan’S Defense Strategy, William S. Murray
Naval War College Review
China’s recent military modernization has fundamentally altered Taiwan’s security options. New Chinese submarines, advanced surface-to-air mis- siles, and, especially, short-range ballistic and land-attack cruise missiles have greatly reduced Taiwan’s geographic advantage. Taipei can no longer expect to counter Chinese military strengths in a symmetrical manner, with Patriot inter- ceptors, diesel submarines, surface warships, F-16 fighters, and P-3 maritime pa- trol aircraft.
President’S Forum, Jake L. Shuford
President’S Forum, Jake L. Shuford
Naval War College Review
This August the Naval War College will host a very significant event—Global War Game 2008. This game marks the Navy’s return to “Title X” war gaming, a strategic-level analytic activity that was discontinued in 2001.* The College originated this type of gaming in 1979, when the Navy decided to explore conflict with the Soviet Union on a worldwide scale. Its purpose was to help rebuild the Navy’s operational and strategic perspective, a perspective many felt had become too narrowly tactical.

Naval War College Review
On 22 March, in an exemplary display of democracy in action that seems to have been little noticed in this country, the people of Taiwan voted by an unexpect- edly large margin to reject the presidential candidate of the governing Demo- cratic Progressive Party in favor of the leader of the main opposition party, the Kuomintang. President-elect Ma Ying-jeou promises to be a more predictable and reliable interlocutor for the United States than outgoing President Chen Shui-bian, who has antagonized both Beijing and Washington in recent years by pressing in various ways the envelope of Taiwanese independence.

Fresh Thinking For An Old Problem—Report Of The Naval War College Workshop On Countering Maritime Piracy, James Kraska Jagc
Naval War College Review
Rampant piracy off the Horn of Africa has focused world attention and produced a variety of commentaries and prescriptions. An April 2009 Naval War College workshop of experts in the field pointed to the hard realities behind the platitudes.
Midway And The Indian Ocean, Jeremy Black
Midway And The Indian Ocean, Jeremy Black
Naval War College Review
The Japanese raid into the Indian Ocean is both a great what-if of World War II and an indication of the importance of Midway. The forces that could have pursued the advantage gained in the Indian Ocean moved instead to the Pacific, to lose four carriers, and many strategic options as well, in the critical June 1942 battle.

Clear Purpose, Comprehensive Execution—Raymond Ames Spruance (1886–1969), Wayne P. Hughes Jr.
Naval War College Review
From two tours at the Naval War College, Spruance understood both the roles and limitations of doctrine and principles, but the great sources of his success in World War II were luck, selfless ambition, skills acquired from study and experience, and innate talent.
Using The Land To Control The Sea?—Chinese Analysts Consider The Antiship Ballistic Missile, Andrew S. Erickson, David D. Yang
Using The Land To Control The Sea?—Chinese Analysts Consider The Antiship Ballistic Missile, Andrew S. Erickson, David D. Yang
Naval War College Review
China’s open-source literature does not establish whether that nation has, or is close to having, tactical ballistic missiles capable of effective attacks on surface ships. It does establish, however, that the Chinese are deeply interested in the idea—a potential “game changer” that would critically influence America’s place in the Pacific for decades to come—and heavily engaged in the issues involved, technically and otherwise.

Fundamentals Of Strategy—The Legacy Of Henry Eccles, Scott A. Boorman
Naval War College Review
Each generation must educate leaders for modern high command, creating an intellectual organization for the study of strategy and an environment conducive to original, valid, and valuable strategic insights. There are few better starting points than the pioneering contributions of the U.S. Naval War College in the age of Admiral Henry E. Eccles.
