An Amphibious Capability In Japan’S Self-Defense Force: Operationalizing Dynamic Defense, Justin Goldman
An Amphibious Capability In Japan’S Self-Defense Force: Operationalizing Dynamic Defense, Justin Goldman
Naval War College Review
An amphibious capability would offer Japanese leaders new flexibility, especially in the increasingly volatile offshore islands zone—given improvements in equipment, doctrine, and especially interservice integration.
Maritime Deception And Concealment: Concepts For Defeating Wide-Area Oceanic Surveillance-Reconnaissance-Strike Networks, Jonathan F. Solomon
Maritime Deception And Concealment: Concepts For Defeating Wide-Area Oceanic Surveillance-Reconnaissance-Strike Networks, Jonathan F. Solomon
Naval War College Review
Deception and concealment can help mitigate the risks that an adversary might cripple U.S. forward maritime forces in a massive, war-opening strike, achieve in the first days or weeks some fait accompli, or inflict severe losses on maritime forces as they maneuver within a contested zone to retake the initiative.
Thucydides On Policy, Strategy, And War Termination, Karl Walling
Thucydides On Policy, Strategy, And War Termination, Karl Walling
Naval War College Review
The ancient historian and political theorist Thucydides supplies a microcosm of warfare, addressing the fundamental and recurring problems of strategy at all times and places—origins, objectives, and other strategic issues that those who wage war ignore at their peril. But we will never understand his work unless we try to understand him on his own terms.
Thucydides: Theorist Of War, Williamson Murray
Thucydides: Theorist Of War, Williamson Murray
Naval War College Review
Thucydides did not set out to be a theorist in his account of the Peloponnesian War. Rather, his analysis of the great war between Athens and Sparta helps to clarify not only the events of that war but also fundamental, theoretical truths about the nature and consequences of human conflict.
National Policy And The Post-Systemic Navy, Robert C. Rubel
National Policy And The Post-Systemic Navy, Robert C. Rubel
Naval War College Review
If what happens overseas affects what happens here in North America, then the United States needs to have a voice and influence in overseas affairs. The Navy and the Marine Corps have served as the sources of that instrumentality on a day-to-day basis. How? How will they do so in the already emerging future?

Reflections On Reading, John E. Jackson
Reflections On Reading, John E. Jackson
Naval War College Review
Many people are unaware that the Chief of Naval Operations Professional Reading Program (CNO-PRP) is the only professional reading initia- tive in any of the military services that goes beyond merely publishing a list of important books. The CNO, Adm. Jonathan Greenert, USN, shares President Jefferson’s feelings about the importance of books, and he has allocated Navy funds to purchase centrally and distribute widely nearly twenty-two thousand books to ships, squadrons, and stations around the world.
Eisenhower: In War And Peace, Richard Norton
Eisenhower: In War And Peace, Richard Norton
Naval War College Review
When you mention Dwight David “Ike” Eisenhower, far too many people will hark back either to D-Day and the invasion of Normandy or to a mythical, almost lyrical presidency, when life was good, three martinis accompanied every lunch, and gas cost pennies a gallon. The truth, of course, is far different and far more interesting. In Eisenhower Jean Edward Smith has produced what may well be the best one-volume biography on this figure. The book moves fast and yet manages to leave nothing out.
The Twilight War: The Secret History Of America’S Thirty-Year Conflict With Iran, Daniel Dolan
The Twilight War: The Secret History Of America’S Thirty-Year Conflict With Iran, Daniel Dolan
Naval War College Review
Author David Crist writes, “Conspiracy theories abound in the Middle East in part because there frequently are so many conspiracies.” Every chapter of The Twilight War pulls back the curtain and sheds new light on many previously undisclosed and often underappreciated events that have shaped U.S.-Iranian relations. This masterfully researched historical account focuses on U.S.- Iranian relations since the fall of the shah of Iran and the beginning of the Iranian Revolution.
China’S Search For Security, Dale C. Rielage
China’S Search For Security, Dale C. Rielage
Naval War College Review
The nation’s “rebalance” to Asia has been greeted by a plethora of new books on Asia-Pacific security issues. In contrast to the many worthwhile specialist works now available, China’s Search for Security stands out as an ambitious at- tempt to offer a one-volume overview of China’s security situation as seen from the Chinese point of view. Both authors are established and respected scholars. Andrew Nathan is best known as an editor of the Tiananmen Papers (PublicAffairs, 2002), while Andrew Scobell is author of the well-regarded China’s Use of Military Force: Beyond the Great Wall and the Long March (Cambridge University …

The Other Ultra, Vincent P. O’Hara, Enrico Cernuschi
The Other Ultra, Vincent P. O’Hara, Enrico Cernuschi
Naval War College Review
Since the revelation of the Ultra secret in 1974, it has been widely accepted that Ultra intelligence—that is, high-grade Axis codes decrypted by a cen- tralized British interservice unit called the Government Code and Cypher School (GC and CS) at Bletchley Park—gave Great Britain a decisive advantage over its Axis foes and that this advantage was particularly significant in the battle against shipping to North Africa.
The Type 45 Daring-Class Destroyer, Ben Lombardi, David Rudd
The Type 45 Daring-Class Destroyer, Ben Lombardi, David Rudd
Naval War College Review
In 1998, the British government led by Prime Minister Tony Blair released the Strategic Defence Review (SDR), in which it identified a requirement for twelve state-of-the-art warships for the Royal Navy (RN) to be configured for antiair warfare.1 This new naval platform was conceived as a replacement for the Type 42 destroyers, which had first entered service in 1978; its development was initially associated with the Anglo-French-Italian Horizon project that had replaced the NATO Frigate Replacement, from which Britain withdrew in 1989. That vision, however, had a very short shelf life. Some months after the SDR’s release, Britain withdrew from …
The Gaza Flotilla Incident And The Modern Law Of Blockade, James Farrant
The Gaza Flotilla Incident And The Modern Law Of Blockade, James Farrant
Naval War College Review
The law and operational practice of blockade were considered all but dead by many in the 1990s.1 However, in recent years, Israel has employed blockade twice: in 2006 against Hezbollah in south Lebanon and since then against Hamas in Gaza. The latter blockade, which will be the focus of this article, was instituted in January 2009 to prevent arms and other materials reaching Hamas and thereby to halt rocket attacks against Israeli territory.2
Adjudication, Stephen Downes-Martin
Adjudication, Stephen Downes-Martin
Naval War College Review
Commonly used war-game adjudication methods break down and create unreliable results when addressing novel operational or strategic problems for which we have little experience or data (for example, information warfare or a regional nuclear conflict) and when we wish to explore situations rather than educate officers about well-understood situations. The primary causes of this breakdown are, first, the incorrect assumption that adjudicators are impartial controllers instead of dominant players and, second, the design choice to make the players’ decisions the game’s primary output.

Smart Defense, Paul Johnson, Tim Labenz, Darrell Driver
Naval War College Review
As North Atlantic Treaty Organization heads of state and government gath- ered in Chicago for the 2012 NATO summit, the alliance was once again faced with an abundance of issues and challenges. Initially forecasted as a brief, in-progress review of the decisions taken at the 2010 Lisbon, Portugal, gathering, the Chicago summit quickly emerged as an important crossroads moment for the sixty-three-year-old alliance. The future of the alliance’s forces in Afghanistan, continued support to Libya, cyberdefense, and missile defense were but a few of the pressing issues that found their way into an ambitious agenda and the sum- mit’s final …
Marching Toward The Sweet Spot, Robert P. Kozloski
Marching Toward The Sweet Spot, Robert P. Kozloski
Naval War College Review
Before leaving his position as Secretary of Defense in 2010, Robert Gates of- fered a wake-up call in a speech to the Marine Corps Association in 2010: “It [is] time to redefine the purpose and size of the Marine Corps.” The perception even then was that the Marine Corps had become too big, too heavy, and too far removed from its maritime roots.

Naval War College Review
The fiscal crisis that continues to grip this nation has generated enormous chal- lenges for America’s defense establishment. At the same time, by upending old certainties and assumptions, it has also opened the way for fresh thinking about our defense priorities and ways of doing business. In “Marching toward the Sweet Spot: Options for the U.S. Marine Corps in a Period of Austerity,” Robert P. Kozloski offers an example of such fresh thinking regarding the way forward for the Marine Corps, a topic that has garnered much attention since the winding down of the combat missions of the Corps in …

Maritime Commerce Warfare: The Coercive Response Of The Weak?, Douglas C. Peifer
Naval War College Review
Guerre de course has repeatedly been consigned to extinction by navies and theorists, who have assumed that legal, economic, and technological developments rendered it obsolete—only to be proved mistaken. Will it happen again?
