The editors are delighted to learn that the U.S. Naval Historical Center in Wash- ington, D.C., has awarded honorable mention in its annual Eller Prize in Naval History competition to Edmund Morris’s “ ‘A Matter of Extreme Urgency’: Theodore Roosevelt, Wilhelm II, and the Venezuela Crisis of 1902,” which ap- peared in our Spring 2002 issue.
Military Education: Past, Present, And Future,, Judith Stiehm
Military Education: Past, Present, And Future,, Judith Stiehm
Naval War College Review
This collection of ten essays is largely historical. Only three deal with current military education, and none focuses substantially on the future. Six examine European institutions, while three ad- dress military education in the United States and one recent change in Can- ada. The editors and authors are sea- soned historians; some teach at civilian institutions, some at military schools.

Prime Time Crime: Balkan Media In War And Peace,, Clemson G. Turregano
Naval War College Review
Solving the puzzle of the destruction of Yugoslavia is one of the dominant his- torical and political questions of our time. Prominent scholars, high-ranking military officers, and noted politicians all seem to be asking how an advanced confederation could fail so quickly and with such disastrous consequences. Kemel Kurspahic, the award-winning editor of the Sarajevo wartime daily newspaper Oslobodjenje, provides some important answers to this question with his firsthand account of media in the former Yugoslavia.
The Age Of Sacred Terror,, S. Douglas Smith
The Age Of Sacred Terror,, S. Douglas Smith
Naval War College Review
Were you to begin with the last chapter of this book, “A World of Terror,” you would note that radical Islamists do not have an exclusive hold on terror as a strategic weapon. In fact, you might be well advised to consider reading this chapter first, to understand that ex- tremist adherents of Christianity as well as other faiths also have employed sa- cred terror as a tool in the pursuit of their aims. If, on the other hand, you choose to begin with chapter 1, you will receive a good overview of the terrorist events of the past ten …
Resource Wars: The New Landscape Of Global Conflict,, Peter Dombrowski
Resource Wars: The New Landscape Of Global Conflict,, Peter Dombrowski
Naval War College Review
Michael Klare argues that most wars of the future, like many of those of the past and present, will be caused by conflicts over natural resources, especially oil and water. As a consequence, he suggests that American national security policy focus “on oil field protection, the defense of maritime trade routes, and other aspects of resource security.” This position represents a reaffirmation of the industrial and economic dimensions of U.S. national security. In effect, if Klare is right, we are witnessing a resurgence of a materialist strand of American strategic thought that has been prominent at least since Alfred Thayer …
Jihad: The Rise Of Militant Islam In Central Asia,, Amer Latif
Jihad: The Rise Of Militant Islam In Central Asia,, Amer Latif
Naval War College Review
After the terrorist attacks of 11 Septem- ber 2001, U.S. policy makers focused heavily on Central Asian states as ven- ues for basing troops and equipment for the war on terrorism. Although that war initially focused on Afghanistan, the effects of militant Islam have also affected various states in the Central Asian region to the north. In this book, Rashid provides the reader with a jour- nalist’s account of what has led to the rise of militant Islam in Central Asia. This book had just gone into editing when the attacks on the World Trade Center towers and the Pentagon …
The Geopolitics Of East Asia: The Search For Equilibrium, By Robyn Limchinese Grand Strategy And Maritime Power, Bruce Elleman
The Geopolitics Of East Asia: The Search For Equilibrium, By Robyn Limchinese Grand Strategy And Maritime Power, Bruce Elleman
Naval War College Review
One of the most intriguing questions about the People’s Republic of China (PRC) today is whether its communist government does or does not have the “ambition” to acquire a blue-water navy. If building an oceangoing fleet is among Beijing’s long-term goals, then China may one day become a dan- gerous peer competitor of the United States. If so, a future Sino-U.S. mari- time conflict is possible; if not, Wash- ington’s primarily maritime power and Beijing’s primarily continental power need never meet in battle.
Seapower And Space: From The Dawn Of The Missile Age Tonet-Centric Warfare,, William C. Martel
Seapower And Space: From The Dawn Of The Missile Age Tonet-Centric Warfare,, William C. Martel
Naval War College Review
This work examines the development of space systems and its implications for naval warfare in the twenty-first century by focusing on the argument that “access to space systems makes possible a new style of warfare.” It addresses the “linked revolution of long-range missiles and their space-based supporting systems.” Furthermore, Friedman seeks to under- stand how the development of space- based systems (notably rockets and satellites) has radically influenced how naval forces conduct navigation, communication, reconnaissance, and targeting. The reality is that modern military forces depend almost entirely on platforms in space to know where they are and to communicate with …
El Dorado Canyon: Reagan’S Undeclared War With Qaddafi,, James Stavridis
El Dorado Canyon: Reagan’S Undeclared War With Qaddafi,, James Stavridis
Naval War College Review
This well researched and clearly written study of U.S. combat with Libya in the 1980s has important echoes for today’s policy makers. It begins with a quick look at America’s first war with a Mus- lim state—in the nineteenth century, when the U.S. Navy fought viciously with the Barbary pirates off the coast of North Africa. It then traces the rise of one of the Barbary pirates’ direct descendants—the well known late- twentieth-century practitioner of state terrorism Muammar Qaddafi of Libya.

Asymmetrical Warfare: Today’S Challenge To U.S. Military Power,, James A. Russell
Naval War College Review
During the late 1970s and early 1980s, a cacophony of voices arose (mostly from the conservative wing of the Republican Party) asserting that the United States was in danger of being eclipsed by the Soviet Union. In short, the argument was “the sky is falling.” President Reagan used the issue to great advantage during the 1980 presidential campaign, setting the stage for a massive increase in de- fense expenditures and the launching of the ambitious “Star Wars” pro- gram, the forerunner of the Clinton and Bush administrations’ attempt to build a national missile defense system.

Small Navies Do Have A Place In Network-Centric Warfare, Patrick M. Stillman
Small Navies Do Have A Place In Network-Centric Warfare, Patrick M. Stillman
Naval War College Review
In “Small Navies and Network-Centric Warfare” (Naval War College Review, Spring 2003, pp. 1–16), Paul T. Mitchell asked if there is a place for small navies in the world of network-centric warfare. From my perspective as the program executive officer for the U.S. Coast Guard’s Integrated Deepwater System (IDS), the answer is a resounding “Yes!” The price of admission, however, is a network- centric system for C4ISR (command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance), modern air and surface plat- forms, and a well-established relationship with the U.S. Navy.

China’S Aircraft Carrier Ambitions, Ian Storey, You Ji
Naval War College Review
For more than a decade there have been persistent reports that the People’s Republic of China (PRC) intends to acquire an aircraft carrier force as part of its ambition to achieve “blue-water” (high seas) naval capability. Some reports suggest that China plans to refit one or more aircraft carriers from the former Soviet Union or other countries. Others claim that China has investigated the possibility of buying a light aircraft carrier from a European shipbuilder. Other reports suggest China has already made the decision to build two or three indig- enous carriers and has even allocated funding for the program.

Corbett In Orbit, John J. Klein,
Naval War College Review
Since the 1950s, there have been discussions concerning the need to develop a space power theory.1 In their attempts to formulate such a theory, strategists have noted the similarities of space operations to those of air and naval opera- tions. Consequently, many have attempted to derive a clearly articulated, all- encompassing space theory through analogy and comparison to either airpower or sea-control models. These efforts, however, as observers like the contempo- rary historian and strategist Colin Gray have noted, have not produced a theory addressing space operations and associated national interests.
The Casualty-Aversion Myth, Richard A. Lacquement Jr.
The Casualty-Aversion Myth, Richard A. Lacquement Jr.
Naval War College Review
What is the nature of the American public’s sensitivity to U.S. military ca- sualties? How does casualty sensitivity affect the pursuit of American national security objectives?1 The first question is easy to answer: There is no in- trinsic, uncritical casualty aversion among the American public that limits the use of U.S. armed forces. There is a wide range of policy objectives on behalf of which the public is prepared to accept American casualties as a cost of success. Squeamishness about even a few casualties for all but the most important na- tional causes is a myth. Nonetheless, it is a …

The Education Of “A Modern Major General”, William F. Burns
Naval War College Review
Over a century ago, Gilbert and Sullivan developed a caricature of a contempo- rary general officer of the British service in their operetta Pirates of Penzance. Almost three decades ago, Colonel Donald F. Bletz of the U.S. Army War College faculty published an article using this caricature, Major General Stanley, as a model of what should not be the typical general officer of the future.1 Since that future is now, it is useful to examine the factors that contribute to and influence the development of a professional military officer, particularly an officer who has achieved general or flag rank and …

“The Greatest Deeds Are Yet To Be Done”, Paul Wolfowitz
Naval War College Review
It is customary in commencement speeches to say something about the dynamic world that graduates are about to enter and how that change is going to affect their lives. But that traditional message does not work on this occasion, with this audience. You are graduating, but you are certainly not commencing. “To com- mence,” after all, is “to begin.” When you return to your fleet or to your units you will not be beginning a brand-new career. You will be going back to the noble profession to which you have chosen to dedicate your lives. But you will be going …

President’S Forum, Ronald A. Route
Naval War College Review
When I assumed the presidency of the Naval War College last July, I was tremendously impressed by the commitment to excellence I en- countered in personnel at all levels of the command. I found this commitment in everyone I met, from senior educator to junior groundskeeper. Everyone be- lieved in the value of what the College does and in the importance of his or her contribution to mission accomplishment.

Admiral Rempt has acknowledged our VIPs, and I just want to say it’s wonderful to be here in Newport. It’s always fun to come up here and see great friends. If I started going through the honors and acknowledging all of them, it would take longer than [we have]. There are a lot of them here this morning. I’m here because I believe that this tradition, this event that we are here to observe is very important to our Navy, this thing called the change of command.

The Submarine As A Case Study In Transformation:Implications For Future Investment, James H. Patton Jr.
Naval War College Review
The Department of Defense is sometimes guilty of glomming onto a buzzword or catchy phrase and wearing it thin. “Revolution in Military Affairs,” or RMA (a term derived, incidentally, from Soviet military writings concerning a “military- technical revolution”) certainly came close to crossing that threshold. Today, the word “transformation”—a marvelously useful and intellectually descriptive word—could similarly be at risk of exhaustion.

A group of international legal experts gathered at the Naval War College in late 2006 to consider the probable shape of the global legal order in 2020—the environment in which the maritime strategy the U.S. Navy is now formulating would operate.

Building Partners’ Capacity—The Thousand-Ship Navy, Ronald E. Ratcliff
Naval War College Review
Nearly two years after a bold proposal of a “thousand-ship navy,” little progress seems to have been made in constituting it. Part of the reason is that the U.S. Navy does not seem to appreciate how the idea looks to many nations whose navies might participate.
New Directions In Maritime Strategy?—Implications For The U.S. Navy, Geoffrey Till
New Directions In Maritime Strategy?—Implications For The U.S. Navy, Geoffrey Till
Naval War College Review
The defense of the system requires a range of naval tasks that covers much of the spectrum of conflict, a range that seems to be getting ever wider. The resultant strategies are a blend of cooperative and competitive approaches in policy, since the two are no more mutually exclusive in maritime-strategy making than they are in international political life.
Two Hundred Years Of Preemption, George H. Quester
Two Hundred Years Of Preemption, George H. Quester
Naval War College Review
Preemption and preventive war have a mixed history in terms of moral acceptance. The strongest condemnation dates from 1918, not 1945. Nonetheless, the world’s experiences before 1914 and since 1938 suggest that it may have to live with, and make the best of, such options.
