Transforming The U.S. Armed Forces, Thomas G. Mahnken
Transforming The U.S. Armed Forces, Thomas G. Mahnken
Naval War College Review
The U.S. armed forces themselves have embraced—at least rhetorically—the need to transform so as to meet the demands of information-age warfare. Nevertheless, in each service, efforts at trans- formation have faced opposition from traditionalists who perceive threats in new ways of war.
Future Carrier Aviation Options, David J. Jordan
Future Carrier Aviation Options, David J. Jordan
Naval War College Review
Particularly in the 1964–70 period, the Royal Navy deemed the aircraft carrier an expensive irrele- vance that could not be justified. Since then the aircraft carrier has returned to prominence, with the 1998 Strategic Defence Review (SDR) planning for two carriers. Nonetheless, a number of issues need to be settled before the new vessels enter service in 2012.
The Tyranny Of Forward Presence, Daniel Gouré
The Tyranny Of Forward Presence, Daniel Gouré
Naval War College Review
A cardinal principle of Navy strategic planning is that “shaping” the international environment is a necessary and appropriate mission. However, the ever-increasing scope of forward presence exerts a tyrannical hold on the future of the Navy, a hold that threatens—in an era of constrained defense budgets and rapidly changing threats—to break the force.

Thinking Out Of The Box—Reading Military Texts From A Different Perspective, Phillip J. Ridderhof
Thinking Out Of The Box—Reading Military Texts From A Different Perspective, Phillip J. Ridderhof
Naval War College Review
The “deconstruction” of texts—a postmodernist technique that denies the existence of objectively true meanings—can be usefully applied, with adaptations, to the military world. A Marine officer argues that it generates valuable insights by identifying everything that a document’s drafters thought most important, less important, and not important enough to mention.
It Is Time To Temper Our Excessive Interventionism, Doug Bandow
It Is Time To Temper Our Excessive Interventionism, Doug Bandow
Naval War College Review
Threats today are very different from what they once were. Nuclear threats can be deterred or warded off; such conventional threats as exist are primarily to American allies—and the allies can handle them. Terrorism will require entirely different forces and responses. But the United States persists in an outmoded Cold War–era, interventionist posture that no longer fits the world environment.
“9/11” And After—A British View, Michael Howard
“9/11” And After—A British View, Michael Howard
Naval War College Review
To call the struggle against terrorism “America’s War,” perhaps even a war at all, is to miss its full significance, argues one of the world’s most distinguished military historians. It is a global confrontation between those who believe in the values of the Enlightenment and those who detest and fear them. In this confrontation armed force must inevitably play a part, but it can never be won by militaries alone—not even those of the United States.

Most Secret And Confidential: Intelligence In Theage Of Nelson,, Michael Riggle
Most Secret And Confidential: Intelligence In Theage Of Nelson,, Michael Riggle
Naval War College Review
In Most Secret and Confidential, Steven Maffeo has written an exceptional study of how intelligence was collected and used during the French Revolutionary Wars and the Napoleonic Wars of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. To limited degrees, the intelligence activi- ties of the United States, Spain, Russia, Denmark, and several other European nations are described. More detail is pro- vided concerning the excellent French in- telligence efforts under Napoleon. The bulk of the text, however, deals with the use of intelligence by the British government, especially the Admiralty, during the years between 1793 and 1815.
Sir John Fisher’S Naval Revolution,, James Goldrick
Sir John Fisher’S Naval Revolution,, James Goldrick
Naval War College Review
This is a very good book and a very im- portant one. Nicholas Lambert has fol- lowed in the path of Jon Sumida’s In Defense of Naval Supremacy to present a lucid, compelling, and comprehensive analysis of the policies of Admiral Sir John Fisher and the Royal Navy in the decade before 1914. This work is based upon Lambert’s doctoral study of the de- velopment of the submarine, but it goes much farther than his original work in explaining the fundamental elements of Fisher’s naval policies and their effects on the Royal Navy.
The Political Influence Of Naval Force In History,, Jan Van Tol
The Political Influence Of Naval Force In History,, Jan Van Tol
Naval War College Review
Sir James Cable is a noted writer on naval affairs. His Gunboat Diplomacy, 1919–1991 is a well regarded classic on the role of naval force. His latest work is a historical survey of the political purposes for which gov- ernments have made use of naval force. Cable defines “naval force” as that “ex- ercised by fighting ships manned by disciplined sailors at the direction of a central command responsible to the political leadership.” His definition is necessary to distinguish naval force as we understand it today from the force exercised by pirates, privateers, adven- turers, and users of “landing craft” …
Macarthur’S War: Korea And The Undoing Ofan American Hero,, Donald Chisholm
Macarthur’S War: Korea And The Undoing Ofan American Hero,, Donald Chisholm
Naval War College Review
No figure of the Korean War looms quite so large as General of the Army Douglas MacArthur, simultaneously brilliant, ar- rogant, inscrutable, successful, and fallen—all the elements of a Greek tragedy. His military career, spanning the major portion of the twentieth century, also ren- ders him appealing as a symbol of broader themes of that war and of American soci- ety. So we come to Stanley Weintraub’s MacArthur’s War, advertised on its dust jacket as a “fascinating, well rendered history of the general who refuses to fade away,” a book based on “extensive re- search in primary and secondary sources …
Naval Strategy In Northeast Asia: Geostrategic Goals,Policies And Prospects,, Robert Marabito
Naval Strategy In Northeast Asia: Geostrategic Goals,Policies And Prospects,, Robert Marabito
Naval War College Review
The growing economic, strategic, and cultural importance of Asia calls for a U.S. foreign policy attuned to the unique environment of this diverse area. As this economic dreadnought emerges from the fog of uneven treaties, wars, and cultural misunderstanding, U.S. politico-military thinkers must recog- nize the pressures of history and geog- raphy that will dislodge any policy not firmly anchored in Asian realities. Northeast Asia in particular, with its in- creasing importance in world trade, its potential for undersea resource develop- ment, archipelagic territorial disputes, and the possibility of environmental catastro- phe caused by its rapid industrialization and nuclear-waste dumping …
