In All Respects Ready: Australia’S Navy In World War One, By David Stevens, Angus Ross
In All Respects Ready: Australia’S Navy In World War One, By David Stevens, Angus Ross
Naval War College Review
Writing a definitive history of any major conflict from a single nation’s perspec- tive can be an exacting task—and, in the case of the First World War at sea, a thankless one too, when compared with the far better known and better reported situation on land. This notwithstanding, it is hard to imagine a more timely and well-balanced book. David Stevens, as the Royal Australian Navy’s historian, was perhaps in a perfect position to take on this project, but this should in no way diminish what he has achieved.
Relentless Strike: The Secret History Of Joint Special Operations Command, By Sean Naylor, Hy S. Rothstein
Relentless Strike: The Secret History Of Joint Special Operations Command, By Sean Naylor, Hy S. Rothstein
Naval War College Review
Once again, Sean Naylor has produced an authoritative and well-written book. Relentless Strike chronicles the history of the Joint Special Operations Com- mand (JSOC), America’s top-tier special operations military unit. To the benefit of history and the reader, and most likely to the consternation of the Pentagon, Naylor’s knowledge of special operations and his extensive contacts reveal the temperaments and competencies of key individuals and the details of numerous clandestine missions and organizational capabilities. Many will condemn Naylor for revealing these secrets, but the fault is not with Naylor; it is with those who talked. The book also, perhaps unintentionally, …
Social Science Goes To War: The Human Terrain System In Iraq And Afghanistan, Ed. Montgomery Mcfate And Janice H. Laurence, Yvonne R. Masakowski
Social Science Goes To War: The Human Terrain System In Iraq And Afghanistan, Ed. Montgomery Mcfate And Janice H. Laurence, Yvonne R. Masakowski
Naval War College Review
The twenty-first-century security environment has been characterized by numerous cross-cultural battle spaces, such as those in Iraq and Afghanistan. The U.S. Army initiated the human terrain team (HTT) because it needed to address the impact of the human cultural dimension in the combat operational environment. The HTT’s mission was to conduct research (in the social sciences and anthropology) and to advise military commanders about the unique cultural aspects of the local/ regional population. In eleven chapters, McFate and Laurence have compiled an invaluable collection of experiences from the scientists involved.
Playing War: Wargaming And U.S. Navy Preparations For World War Ii, By John M. Lillard, Jon Scott Logel
Playing War: Wargaming And U.S. Navy Preparations For World War Ii, By John M. Lillard, Jon Scott Logel
Naval War College Review
With the Navy’s recent efforts to rein- vigorate war gaming, there has been renewed interest in the interwar gaming conducted at the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island. In the Naval War College Review, Proceedings, and other maritime journals, war-gaming experts and enthusiasts alike have tried to characterize the nature and value of the Navy’s war games played between 1919 and 1941. John Lillard’s Playing War: Wargaming and U.S. Navy Prepa- rations for World War II is the latest contribution to this resurgence.
Lawfare: Law As A Weapon Of War, By Orde F. Kittrie Reviewed By Kevin Rousseau, Kevin Rousseau
Lawfare: Law As A Weapon Of War, By Orde F. Kittrie Reviewed By Kevin Rousseau, Kevin Rousseau
Naval War College Review
In Lawfare: Law as a Weapon of War, legal scholar Orde F. Kittrie analyzes the increasing effectiveness of the use of law to achieve objectives that not long ago might have been achievable only using force. In one of the first major works in English on the practice of lawfare, Kittrie has written an important book for lawyers, policy makers, and military strategists. Successful strategic performance requires an appreciation of the role of politics in war, and because law is an intensely political matter it is an integral part of the strategic operating environment. Kittrie’s highly readable Lawfare enhances our …

The Destruction Of Convoy Pq17: 27 June–10 July 1942, Milan Vego
The Destruction Of Convoy Pq17: 27 June–10 July 1942, Milan Vego
Naval War College Review
The most critical problem for the Western Allies in the northern European theater in 1941–42 was the urgent need to secure the war matériel being sent to the Soviet Union. Initially, the Germans did not react strongly against the Allied convoys sailing to northern Russia. However, that began to change quickly after February 1942, when the Germans redeployed almost all their heavy surface forces and a large number of U-boats from home waters to northern Norway.
President’S Forum, P.Gardner Howe Iii
President’S Forum, P.Gardner Howe Iii
Naval War College Review
In this Presidents forum, I’d like to share some thoughts about a recent addition to my bookshelf: The Rules of the Game: Jutland and British Naval Command, by Andrew Gordon (Annapolis, MD: Naval Institute Press, 2013). At first glance, it looks like a rather obscure history book on the battle of Jutland. After reading it, however, I now see it as an astute study of command culture with important insights on professional military ethics. This is a book with which every member of the maritime profession of arms should spend time.
A Maritime Or Continental Order For Southeast Asia Andthe South China Sea?, Peter Dutton
A Maritime Or Continental Order For Southeast Asia Andthe South China Sea?, Peter Dutton
Naval War College Review
Since the sixteenth century, Southeast Asia has been open to maritime trade and political engagement, advanced and supported by naval and other military power. Although historical evidence demonstrates that international trade oc- curred prior to that time, often robustly, at various times Chinese imperial leaders sought to dominate the economic, political, and security elements of the region. During these periods, Southeast Asia fell under the sway of China’s vast continental power and whatever naval power-projection capacities emperors built to augment it.

Wars And Rumours Of Wars: Japanese Plans To Invade The Philippines, 1593–1637, Stephen Turnbull
Wars And Rumours Of Wars: Japanese Plans To Invade The Philippines, 1593–1637, Stephen Turnbull
Naval War College Review
On three occasions between 1593 and 1637, Japan’s rulers gave serious consideration to sending military expeditions against the Spanish Philippines. Explaining why these plans were not put into effect sheds light on Japan’s military capabilities at the time, especially its lack of naval capacity.

A Thousand Splendid Guns: Chinese Ascms In Competitive Control, Alan Cummings
Naval War College Review
Implementing distributed lethality, developing antiship cruise missile programs, and acquiring affordable small- to medium-sized surface combatants—constituting a revival of antisurface warfare capability from near zero—must be a priority for the U.S. Navy in the Pacific.

Distributed Stovl Operations And Air-Mobility Support: Addressing The Mismatch Between Requirements And Capabilities, Robert C. Owen
Distributed Stovl Operations And Air-Mobility Support: Addressing The Mismatch Between Requirements And Capabilities, Robert C. Owen
Naval War College Review
A joint logistics approach based on U.S. Air Force air-mobility assets, especially if enhanced by a medium-sized tanker/transport aircraft, can offer significant advantages in the flexibility, sustainability, and safety of Marine distributed short-takeoff–vertical-landing operations, particularly in the face of sophisticated antiaccess/area-denial capabilities.
The Relationship Between Global Naval Engagement And Naval War-Fighting Posture, Robert C. Rubel
The Relationship Between Global Naval Engagement And Naval War-Fighting Posture, Robert C. Rubel
Naval War College Review
Decisions on fleet design should be informed by an understanding of the relationship between forward engagement and combat posture. Regarding these two functional elements of the Navy’s mission as either mutually exclusive or having a primary/collateral relationship is a recipe forstrategic error.

Taiwan In Transformation: Retrospect And Prospect,By Chun-Chieh Huang, Grant F. Rhode
Taiwan In Transformation: Retrospect And Prospect,By Chun-Chieh Huang, Grant F. Rhode
Naval War College Review
As a native Taiwanese deeply steeped in Chinese historical and philosophical sources, Chun-chieh Huang adds dimen- sions that are less emphasized in many other perceptive books on contemporary Taiwan. A prolific scholar of treatises on Confucian thought, Huang believes that Taiwan can bring much to contempo- rary Confucian thinking, since Taiwan interprets the world through a lens of contemporary and vibrant democracy— as opposed to China’s legacy of the Cultural Revolution and party control.
Westmoreland’S War: Reassessing American Strategy In Vietnam,By Gregory Daddis, William Thomas Allison
Westmoreland’S War: Reassessing American Strategy In Vietnam,By Gregory Daddis, William Thomas Allison
Naval War College Review
General William Westmoreland, the American commander of Military As- sistance Command Vietnam (MACV) from 1964 through 1968, remains one of the most contentious personalities of the Vietnam War, still the subject of intense debate among veterans and historians of the war. Prevalent still is the view that “Westy” could not see the forest for the trees, or vice versa, and disastrously lacked strategic vision and operational creativity owing to his parochial focus on employing Cold War “big unit” doctrine and attrition to combat an insurgent war of unification.
