Arctic Security Considerations And The U.S. Navy’S Roadmap For The Arctic, David W. Titley, Courtney C. St. John
Arctic Security Considerations And The U.S. Navy’S Roadmap For The Arctic, David W. Titley, Courtney C. St. John
Naval War College Review
The scope and magnitude of changes to the Arctic region as a result of a changing climate are great—shifts in species populations and distribution, more navigable transportation passages, increased shipping activity and resource extraction, and modified global circulation patterns. The Navy’s Task Force Climate Change is addressing these considerations, which will shape safety and security in the Arctic.

The Emerging Republic Of Korea Navy—A Japanese Perspective, Yoji Koda
Naval War College Review
The Republic of Korea Navy has made itself one of the most notable navies in the region. Challenges and issues still exist, but there are important areas in which it and the capable Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force can cooperate in the future.

In My View, W.J. Holland Jr
In My View, W.J. Holland Jr
Naval War College Review
Every successful officer considers his career path as that most appropriate and useful. So it is—for him or her. Certainly the successes of Admiral Stavridis and Captain Hagerott testify to the worth of their credentials to make the arguments in their article [see James Stavridis and Mark Hagerott, “The Heart of an Officer: Joint, Interagency, and International Operations and Navy Career Develop- ment,” in the Spring 2009 issue, pp. 27–41].
Agents Of Innovation: The General Board Andthe Design Of The Fleet That Defeated The Japanese Navy, Michael Pearlman
Agents Of Innovation: The General Board Andthe Design Of The Fleet That Defeated The Japanese Navy, Michael Pearlman
Naval War College Review
Skeptics of disarmament treaties, such as Richard Pearl, have long argued that these treaties make a nation weaker by depriving it of the means of self-defense. John Kuehn, former naval aviator and presently professor of military history at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, in Fort Leaven- worth, Kansas, is far more subtle in this excellent book. He shows how the Washington Naval Treaty of 1921 froze battleship construction and yet made the U.S. Navy stronger by 1941. While it is never easy to prove something so counterintuitive, Kuehn does it hands down.
Churchill And The Norway Campaign, Jeff Shaw
Churchill And The Norway Campaign, Jeff Shaw
Naval War College Review
“The principle of aiming everything at the enemy’s center of gravity admits of only one exception—that is, when sec- ondary operations look exceptionally rewarding.” This classic dictum, given to us by the great military theorist Carl von Clausewitz, provides the impetus behind this book. Originally conceived as a case study for inclusion in the Strategy and Policy curriculum at the U.S. Naval War College, this historical work covers the operations in Norway during the spring of 1940, one of the most overlooked campaigns of the Sec- ond World War.
Futures Of War: Toward A Consensus View Ofthe Future Security Environment, 2010–2035, Christopher Martin
Futures Of War: Toward A Consensus View Ofthe Future Security Environment, 2010–2035, Christopher Martin
Naval War College Review
What Sam Tangredi offers here is not a standard attempt at predicting the near future of warfare but rather a synthesis of various competing predictions and analyses. The book is a follow-up to his earlier book All Possible Wars (2004), the ob- ject of which was to inform political de- cision making in the realm of defense planning. One hopes that this latest ef- fort does not follow the fate of its pre- decessor, which Tangredi freely admits remained largely ignored by its target audience.
Creating The National Security State:A History Of The Law That Transformed America, Richmond M. Lloyd
Creating The National Security State:A History Of The Law That Transformed America, Richmond M. Lloyd
Naval War College Review
Douglas Stuart holds the J. William Stuart and Helen D. Stuart Chair in In- ternational Studies, Business and Management at Dickinson College and is an adjunct professor at the U.S. Army War College. He provides an insightful history of the struggle to reform com- pletely the U.S. national security estab- lishment from 1937 to 1960, an effort that resulted in the creation of the De- partment of Defense, the National Se- curity Council (NSC), the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and three separate armed service departments un- der a secretary of defense.
National Security Dilemmas: Challenges And Opportunities, Andrew L. Stigler
National Security Dilemmas: Challenges And Opportunities, Andrew L. Stigler
Naval War College Review
Colin Gray’s highly engaging book ad- dresses a spectrum of national security considerations that are likely to impact the United States in the coming years. Gray, who is a professor at the Univer- sity of Reading and served for five years in the Ronald Reagan administration, argues that America’s sports-mindedness has culturally prepared Americans to think in terms of winning and losing and of confrontations that have a be- ginning, middle, and end.

Major Convoy Operation To Malta, 10–15 August 1942 (Operationpedestal), Milan Vego
Major Convoy Operation To Malta, 10–15 August 1942 (Operationpedestal), Milan Vego
Naval War College Review
The desperate Allied resupply convoy to Malta of August 1942 was required even though the British had to assume its objective, route, and timing would be transparent to the Axis. How did they plan the operation under such constraints, and how did they deal with their built-in disadvantages?

Australia’S 2009 Defense White Paper, Jack Mccaffrie, Chris Rahman
Naval War College Review
Defending Australia in the Asia Pacific Century represents Canberra’s first concerted attempt to address the security challenges posed by a rising China and regional great-power dynamics. It presents a sober view of the future and an indication of Australia’s determination to prepare for whatever that future may bring.
Great Britain Gambles With The Royal Navy, Geoffrey Till
Great Britain Gambles With The Royal Navy, Geoffrey Till
Naval War College Review
British defense policy makers have taken a risky gamble for the future of the Royal Navy—they have undertaken the most ambitious program of fleet recapitalization for perhaps forty years, at a time when naval defense spending is less than half of what it was in the Cold War era. This gamble will only have paid off if and when current programs complete.
China’S Aircraft Carrier Ambitions, Nan Li, Christopher Weuve
China’S Aircraft Carrier Ambitions, Nan Li, Christopher Weuve
Naval War College Review
China is getting closer to realizing its aircraft carrier ambitions in terms of leadership endorsement, financial affordability, naval strategy, and requisite technologies. What might a Chinese carrier look like, and what would it mean?
President’S Forum, James P. Wisecup
President’S Forum, James P. Wisecup
Naval War College Review
The epigraph above is what the Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Gary Roughead, told me within a month or so of my arrival as President of the Naval War College. Frankly, I had very little idea of how true this statement is until I witnessed the Nineteenth International Sea Power Symposium (ISS), which took place in Newport from 6 to 9 October. This conference was the brainchild of Vice Admiral Richard G. Colbert, who was President of the Naval War College at the time the first one occurred, in 1969. Admiral Arleigh Burke was in attendance and spoke at this …

Naval War College Review
That the People’s Republic of China has long toyed with the idea of building aircraft carriers is widely known. It is also clear that a consensus within the Chinese military and political leadership on such a course has proven elusive. There are increasing signs, however, that the long-standing debate on this issue has been resolved in favor of a decision to embrace the aircraft carrier. The questions that remain concern the scope and purpose of a Chinese carrier program (or pro- grams), what it might reveal about current Chinese naval or grand strategy, and what implications it will have for …

Dewey At Manila Bay—Lessons In Operational Art And Operational Leadership From America’S First Fleet Admiral, Derek B. Granger
Dewey At Manila Bay—Lessons In Operational Art And Operational Leadership From America’S First Fleet Admiral, Derek B. Granger
Naval War College Review
Admiral George Dewey, his great victory at Manila Bay over a century ago, and even the Spanish-American War receive little attention, from either historians of naval warfare or its practitioners. But the nature of the challenges he faced, how he approached them, and how his career had prepared him to succeed so well are in fact highly relevant to the U.S. Navy’s present environment.
Operations Assessment In Afghanistan Is Broken—What Is To Be Done?, Stephen Downes-Martin
Operations Assessment In Afghanistan Is Broken—What Is To Be Done?, Stephen Downes-Martin
Naval War College Review
The operations assessments process in Afghanistan is untrustworthy and places at risk the credibility of commanders who support its products. But regional commanders have the authority and means to fix it.
Why Operations Assessments Fail—It’S Not Just The Metrics, Jonathan Schroden
Why Operations Assessments Fail—It’S Not Just The Metrics, Jonathan Schroden
Naval War College Review
In any military campaign it is necessary to measure how well one is doing; in unconventional, counterinsurgency warfare, measuring progress is especially difficult; and in Afghanistan, the attempt to do so is doing more harm than good, and for fundamental reasons.
Three Disputes And Three Objectives—China And The South China Sea, Peter Dutton
Three Disputes And Three Objectives—China And The South China Sea, Peter Dutton
Naval War College Review
The complex disputes of the globally important South China Sea sort themselves into three categories, each with its own parties, rule sets, and politics. Unfortunately, states are pursuing win-lose solutions to all three, when win-win problem solving based on mutuality and commonality of interests is necessary and possible.
Sea Basing—Concept, Issues, And Recommendations, Sam J. Tangredi
Sea Basing—Concept, Issues, And Recommendations, Sam J. Tangredi
Naval War College Review
In a flat or shrinking defense budget, resources for the joint capability of sea basing will become contentious. However, a prudent strategy for the United States in uncertain times is to balance long-range capabilities based in the continental United States with highly maneuverable and well defended sea bases.
The Future Of The Future Of Aircraft Carriers, Robert C. Rubel
The Future Of The Future Of Aircraft Carriers, Robert C. Rubel
Naval War College Review
As the geopolitical, technological, and budgetary environments change, the question of whether aircraft carriers will still be needed, and if so of what kind and how many, becomes urgent. The best way to approach it is in terms of how they are actually used and how they could be.
