Combined Arms Warfare In The Twentieth Century, Barney Rubel
Combined Arms Warfare In The Twentieth Century, Barney Rubel
Naval War College Review
A retired Army officer formerly on the faculty of the Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, Kan- sas, Jonathan House has written an up- dated edition of a text he authored in the 1980s to support the education of Army officers. His express intentions are to strip the jargon in order to make the subject intelligible to a more general readership, and to update the book with an analysis of combined-arms progress in the 1990s. The result is a readable and lucid analysis of combined-arms warfare in the twentieth century, a work that a layman can follow without …
Winning Ugly: Nato’S War To Save Kosovo, Tom Fedyszyn
Winning Ugly: Nato’S War To Save Kosovo, Tom Fedyszyn
Naval War College Review
Since the end of the Cold War, Nato has been experiencing an identity crisis that has not yet been completely resolved. In the last decade instability has been Nato’s principal adversary, and the Balkans, as a result of the atrocities of Slobodan Milosevic, became its prime area of inter- est. In March 1999, following the Serb ty- rant’s driving of eight hundred thousand Albanian Kosovars from Serbia, Nato fought, and won, a war to return and protect Kosovo’s Albanian population.

Another Look At History, Paul G. Halpern
Another Look At History, Paul G. Halpern
Naval War College Review
Stephen Roskill’s two-volume Naval Policy between the Wars (London: Collins, 1968 and 1976) has dominated the history of Britain’s interwar navy. Roskill—author of the official British naval history of World War II—had a vast store of knowledge, as well as personal experience and contacts with many of the individuals about whom he wrote.

Naval War College Review
I am pleased that in his review of my book, The Russian Presidency (Naval War College Review, Summer 2001, pp. 165–8), Sergei Khrushchev agreed with me (and we are among a very few in the scholarly community who have agreed on this issue) that presidentialism will serve Russia better than the parliamentary alternative. But elsewhere, Dr. Khrushchev disagrees with me, and I am writing not only to clarify to readers of the Review the nature of that disagreement but also to take issue with places where I believe he has mischaracterized the book.
Our Special Correspondent, Geoffrey Wawro
Our Special Correspondent, Geoffrey Wawro
Naval War College Review
In Frankfurt airport, I witnessed an unexpected phenomenon. The Iran Air flight that will carry me to Tehran is disgorging its Frankfurt-bound load of passengers, Iranians all. As they disembark, the women stop in the departure lounge to remove their hejabs—chador, rouposh, and head scarf—and brazenly comb out their hair before applying makeup to face and nails. Already I begin to doubt the severity of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Back- sliding like this in the early days of the revolution would have been punished by black-shirted “mor- als police.” When my outbound flight is called, dozens of homeward-bound women …
“No Bad Stories”, Douglas Porch
“No Bad Stories”, Douglas Porch
Naval War College Review
Media-military relations have always been rocky; the basic explanation is that the natures and goals of the media and military are fundamentally in tension. Future trends are likely to make these relations more, rather than less, difficult. Nevertheless, the two institutions must recognize that it is in the interests of both to make the relationship work.
Naval Power For A New American Century, Roger W. Barnett
Naval Power For A New American Century, Roger W. Barnett
Naval War College Review
Today, with the free use of the sea, the air over the sea, space, and cyberspace; with the power of information superiority enabled by networking; with long-range precision weapons; with the development of new, abundant, and affordable sensors to illuminate the future battlespace; and with the techniques of information warfare, navies are far more able than ever before to influence events ashore rapidly, directly, and decisively.

What Do We Mean By “Transformation”?, Andrew L. Ross, Michèle A. Flournoy, Cindy Williams
Naval War College Review
What is “defense transformation” (by whatever name), and how might it affect strategy? What might it cost, and how could its cost affect military forces? What systemic impediments to implementation does it face, and what are its competitors in the budgetary realm? A distinguished panel of the Secretary of the Navy’s Current Strategy Forum held at the Naval War College on 12–13 June 2001 addressed these issues from various perspectives.
When Lawyers Advise Presidents In Wartime, James E. Baker
When Lawyers Advise Presidents In Wartime, James E. Baker
Naval War College Review
The potentially poor fit between traditional categories of military objective and the reality of conflict in which targets fall on a continuum of judgment between military and civilian becomes more perilous in an age of international scrutiny where good-faith differences of view can take on criminal implications.

Space Wei Qi—The Launch Of Shenzhou V, Joan Johnson-Freese
Space Wei Qi—The Launch Of Shenzhou V, Joan Johnson-Freese
Naval War College Review
Whether the United States chooses to return to the moon, go on to Mars, or something in between or beyond, it is not just where that is important, but how. To a large extent, how will involve implicitly or explicitly responding to the first Chinese manned space flight, on 15–16 October 2003. The United States can continue to exclude China from cooperative space efforts, commence a new manned-space-flight race, or initiate an incremental program of space cooperation including the Chinese. The interests of the space program and of the nation would be best served by cooperation.
Stalin’S Big-Fleet Program, Milan L. Hauner
Stalin’S Big-Fleet Program, Milan L. Hauner
Naval War College Review
In the 1930s, Joseph Stalin undertook to build one of the world’s largest navies, a Soviet fleet of battleships and battle cruisers. He did so in the face of well known impediments and shortfalls of geography, finances, and industrial capacity and capability—and in the absence of an obvious and compelling strategic rationale. Why?

A Tale Of Two Fleets—A Russian Perspective On The 1973 Naval Standoff In The Mediterranean, Lyle J. Goldstein, Yuri M. Zhukov
Naval War College Review
Newly available Russian sources suggest that the superpower naval confrontation during and immediately after the 1973 Arab-Israeli War was more dangerous than has been generally appreciated, and that the Soviet Navy had made remarkable progress in correcting the deficiencies revealed in the Cuban missile crisis only a decade before. The episode is a cautionary case study for the U.S. Navy, which today has another “upstart” navy to consider.
Change And Continuity—The U.S. Coast Guard Today, Thomas H. Collins
Change And Continuity—The U.S. Coast Guard Today, Thomas H. Collins
Naval War College Review
The year 2003 was a watershed for today’s Coast Guard. The Coast Guard’s roles as a military service, as a federal law-enforcement agency, as a regulatory authority, and as a member of the new Department of Homeland Security place it squarely at the center of national initiatives to reduce security risks to our nation.

Net-Centric Before Its Time—The Jeune École And Its Lessons For Today, Erik J. Dahl
Naval War College Review
The main caution that the story of the Jeune École offers for advocates of network-centric warfare and American defense transformation is not that they may be wrong in their assessments but that they may be right, too early.
Raeder Versus Wegener—Conflict In German Naval Strategy, Kenneth P. Hansen
Raeder Versus Wegener—Conflict In German Naval Strategy, Kenneth P. Hansen
Naval War College Review
German naval thought between the world wars was defined by a dispute between two distinguished officers: one who critiqued German naval performance in the conflict just ended, the other obliged to meet the very different realities of the war to come. Neither was wholly wrong or entirely correct; the disagreement produced concepts that mark naval doctrine today.
Maritime Terrorism In Southeast Asia—The Abu Sayyaf Threat, Rommel C. Banlaoi
Maritime Terrorism In Southeast Asia—The Abu Sayyaf Threat, Rommel C. Banlaoi
Naval War College Review
The Abu Sayyaf group, originally devoted to the establishment of a radical Islamic state in the Philippines through terrorism, has been fragmented and reduced to banditry by the Philippine military response. Nonetheless, especially by virtue of its inherent maritime capability, it is an important part of the maritime terrorist threat facing Southeast Asia.
