The Battle For China: Essays On The Military History Of The Sino-Japanese Warof 1937–1945, Robert Burrell
The Battle For China: Essays On The Military History Of The Sino-Japanese Warof 1937–1945, Robert Burrell
Naval War College Review
The title of this book appropriately sug- gests a degree of ambiguity regarding the actors fighting over the territorial integrity and cultural identity of China. The interplay of imperial Japan, Na- tionalist and Communist Chinese, Great Britain, Germany, Russia, France, and the United States from 1937 through 1945 creates a terrain challenging to navigate with historical accuracy and objective truth. The conflicting view- points on these contentious events have proved difficult, and perhaps impossible, material from which to develop a definitive narrative. Consequently, the editors have chosen to avoid illusions of defining the “facts” of the matter, instead offering a …

Brute: The Life Of Victor Krulak, U.S. Marine, Nicholas Evan Sarantakes
Naval War College Review
Victor “Brute” Krulak is a legend within the U.S. Marine Corps. That may be a cliché, but it is true. This reviewer personally witnessed this phenomenon at the Naval War College, in Newport, Rhode Island, nearly four decades after Krulak left the service. While delivering a lecture at the College, I flashed a pic- ture of Krulak on the screen. Instantly, audience members began to call out Krulak’s nickname—“Brute! Brute!” The fact that Krulak’s son became Commandant of the Corps only en- hanced his reputation. The funny thing about Krulak’s being so admired is that he never held a major …

Six Amazing Years, Robert F. Dunn
Six Amazing Years, Robert F. Dunn
Naval War College Review
In only six years—1958–63, an era when the Navy operated some of the most challenging new aircraft in its history—the service cut its major-mishap rate in more than half. How?
The “Other” Law Of The Sea, Andrew J. Norris
The “Other” Law Of The Sea, Andrew J. Norris
Naval War College Review
The 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea established a framework for legal governance of the world’s oceans and codified important principles. The vital details, however, are filled in by an array of widely accepted and broadly effective international treaties and mechanisms—the “other” law of the sea.
A New Carrier Race?, Yoji Koda
A New Carrier Race?, Yoji Koda
Naval War College Review
The recently commissioned JS Hyuga—a multirole, through-deck, helicopter-carrying destroyer— is the product of a Japanese naval concept that originated in the early postwar years, in the framework of the new constitution and the U.S.-Japanese alliance.
From The Sea, Daniel J. Kostecka
From The Sea, Daniel J. Kostecka
Naval War College Review
China’s navy currently possesses only a modest long-range force-projection capability. But between now and 2020, aircraft carriers and new amphibious assault ships will give it a robust capacity for force projection in East Asia and smaller missions farther afield—especially for, or in support of, nontraditional security operations.

Naval War College Review
On 2 March 2011, the Type 054A Jiangkai II–class guided missile frigate Xuzhou arrived off the coast of Libya after transiting the Suez Canal to oversee the evacu- ation of the thousands of Chinese civilians working in that country’s oil indus- try. This was evidently the first time a Chinese warship had ever entered the Mediterranean. There is thus a particular timeliness to our lead article, Daniel J. Kostecka’s “From the Sea: PLA Doctrine and the Employment of Sea-Based Airpower.” Through an analysis of doctrinal and academic writings on this sub- ject, the author explores current Chinese thinking concerning the …

The Quiet Warrior Back In Newport—Admiral Spruance, The Return To The Naval War College, And The Lessons Of The Pacific War, 1946–1947, Hal M. Friedman
Naval War College Review
On assuming the presidency of the Naval War College immediately after World War II, Admiral Raymond Spruance called upon the United States to maintain a balanced operational fleet, an adequate afloat train and shore-base system, and a first-rate merchant marine—all as elements of a total, integrated package of American sea power.

Alliance Naval Strategies And Norway In The Final Years Of The Cold War, Jacob Børresen
Naval War College Review
From the mid-1980s until the end of the Cold War, Norway found itself a major focus of U.S. and NATO maritime strategy, an exposed position that brought conundrums of internal politics, foreign relations, and multinational military and naval doctrine.

Hiding In Plain Sight—The U.S. Navy And Dispersed Operations Under Emcon, 1956–1972, Robert G. Angevine
Naval War College Review
As U.S. naval forces increasingly operate under the threat of antiship ballistic-missile attack while relying on rapid communication and information exchange, potential adversaries are likely to seek to target those forces and disrupt their communications and networks. Principles the U.S. Navy developed and practiced in the Cold War may still be workable responses.

The Development Of The Angled-Deck Aircraft Carrier—Innovation And Adaptation, Thomas C. Hone, Norman Friedman, Mark D. Mandeles
Naval War College Review
In the years immediately after World War II, three British innovations—the angled flight deck, steam catapult, and optical landing aid—enabled the modern aircraft carrier. How did the U.S. Navy take such quick advantage of them, and why were they not American innovations in the first place?

From Bottle Rockets To Lightning Bolts—China’S Missile Revolution And Pla Strategy Against U.S. Military Intervention, Vitaliy O. Pradun
Naval War College Review
The United States has long considered that China’s military limitations would restrict it, in case of a conflict over Taiwan, to “access denial” against intervening U.S. forces. But the evidence suggests that China’s emerging strategy and force structure is actually much more ambitious, direct, and dangerous.

Avoiding Trivia: The Role Of Strategic Planning In American Foreign Policy, Thomas G. Mahnken
Avoiding Trivia: The Role Of Strategic Planning In American Foreign Policy, Thomas G. Mahnken
Naval War College Review
Students of American national security policy, particularly those without the benefit of firsthand policy-making experience, frequently under- or over- estimate the difficulty of formulating and implementing strategy in the U.S. government. As a result, observers tend either to portray senior policy makers as dolts or incompetents or to engage in a sort of strategic nihilism holding that it is impossible to develop sound strategy in this day and age.

Organizing Opnav (1970–2009), Thomas Culora
Naval War College Review
For any institution adapting to change, the dreaded “R-word” (reorganization) has come to represent an often disrup- tive, albeit necessary, transition. But as the Center for Naval Analyses (CNA) authors Peter Swartz and Michael Markowitz clearly highlight, reorgani- zation has been the near-normal state for the Navy Staff (OPNAV) over the past several decades. Conducted under the sponsorship of the Naval History and Heritage Command, this CNA re- port effectively tracks the numerous changes in the organization of OPNAV in response to changes both in Chiefs of Naval Operations (CNOs) and in the strategic and budgetary environments since 1970.

Naval War College Review
“Abu Ghraib,” “Guantanamo,” “water boarding,” and “torture” are politically charged and evocative terms that bring to mind interrogation. Nine years into the Afghanistan and Iraq wars (though the “combat phase” of the latter has re- cently ended), strenuous debate continues over the efficacy of human intelli- gence (HUMINT) techniques employed to obtain critical information. It is my definite sense that this debate has become so politically charged as to be counter- productive. Since interrogation often provides the essential elements of information in asymmetrical-warfare analysis, perhaps the time has come to end the debate and ask the question, “How is the …
Asymmetric Warfare At Sea, Thomas G. Mahnken
Asymmetric Warfare At Sea, Thomas G. Mahnken
Naval War College Review
During the six months between August 1942 and February 1943, the waters around the island of Guadalcanal witnessed an almost constant struggle between the Japanese and American navies. The campaign included more than a half-dozen major battles, many of which occurred at night. Although the U.S. Navy enjoyed a technological advantage over the Imperial Japanese Navy, including its widespread adoption of radar, it lost all but one of the campaign’s major engagements.

Naval War College Review
As the United States enters its tenth year at war with an amorphous yet brutal enemy, it is worth stepping back from the familiar policy issues we continue to debate as a nation to reflect on what it means for our armed forces to be at war today. Ten years ago, the critical issue facing the American military was widely said to be “transformation”—the refashioning of our armed forces principally through the introduction of new technologies that would enable us to retain our competitive edge in the new networked security environment of the twenty-first century.
