Peacekeeping On The Plains: Army Operations Inbleeding Kansas,, Richard Norton
Peacekeeping On The Plains: Army Operations Inbleeding Kansas,, Richard Norton
Naval War College Review
Tony Mullis, a serving officer in the U.S. Air Force, takes a close look at a Composite Default screen time when approximately 10 percent of the U.S. Army was intimately involved in one of the most challenging and po- litically charged assignments ever given to the U.S. military. Assigned occupa- tion duties in a land where tribal loyal- ties had been the primary form of government, Army officers, in coopera- tion with diplomats appointed by the president, were tasked to assist a fledg- ling democracy attain statehood while avoiding incipient civil war.
Churchill And Strategic Dilemmas Before The World Wars:Essays In Honor Of Michael I. Handel,, Christopher H. Sterling
Churchill And Strategic Dilemmas Before The World Wars:Essays In Honor Of Michael I. Handel,, Christopher H. Sterling
Naval War College Review
One of three volumes of essays (two fo- cus on different aspects of strategy) pub- lished in Handel’s memory, this work is based on a conference held in Newport, Rhode Island. It offers four scholarly pa- pers on Churchill’s assessment of the German naval challenge before the First World War, Pacific security and the lim- its of British power between the wars, Churchill and the German threat in the late 1930s, and Churchill’s views of tech- nology. Each assesses a different aspect of Churchill’s changing role.
Ghost Wars: The Secret History Of The Cia, Afghanistan, And Bin Laden,From The Soviet Invasion To September 10, 2001,, Amer Latif
Naval War College Review
The events of 9/11 led many in the United States to wonder what had actu- ally led up to that fateful day. Who was to blame? How could the United States, with its multibillion-dollar intelligence and defense budgets, have allowed such a thing to happen? In Ghost Wars, Steve Coll provides a useful, if overly long, chronology and analysis of pivotal events, missteps, indecision, apathy, and ultimately tragedy up to the day be- fore the attacks. Coll, who served as the managing editor for the Washington Post until 2004, was the paper’s South Asia bureau chief from 1989 to 1992.
Why Wars Widen: A Theory Of Predation And Balancing,, Kirsten Rafferty
Why Wars Widen: A Theory Of Predation And Balancing,, Kirsten Rafferty
Naval War College Review
Why Wars Widen is a theoretical and empirical analysis of why neutral states choose to enter an ongoing great-power war. Most international-relations schol- arship neglects this question, choosing instead to explain the origins of war. Haldi, of both the Naval War College and Gettysburg College, opens her book with the observation that states entering an ongoing conflict “may have interests and policies entirely distinct from those of the initial combatants.” The book seeks to reveal these interests. Chapters 1 and 2 introduce the argument that neutrals are most likely to widen great- power wars in eras of low political cost, …
Balance Of Power: Theory And Practice In The 21st Century,, Richard Mansbach
Balance Of Power: Theory And Practice In The 21st Century,, Richard Mansbach
Naval War College Review
Although this book features a number of excellent essays, it is hard to under- stand why it was ever written. One would have profited more from reread- ing Ernst Haas’s brilliant 1953 essay on the topic (“The Balance of Power: Pre- scription, Concept, or Propaganda,” World Politics 5, no. 4 [July 1953], pp. 442–77).

Has The Red Cross–Adorned Hospital Ship Become Obsolete?, Arthur M. Smith
Has The Red Cross–Adorned Hospital Ship Become Obsolete?, Arthur M. Smith
Naval War College Review
Those responsible for casualty management in littoral conflicts must weigh multiple variables such as: the enemy’s war-fighting strategies and tactics; the types of weapons systems used by the enemy; the complexity of the kinds of wounds and diseases commonly encountered during armed conflict; and the availability of resources to effectively treat those conditions.
When Is Coercion Successful?, Patrick C. Bratton
When Is Coercion Successful?, Patrick C. Bratton
Naval War College Review
When is coercion successful? How is success to be defined? Coercion, broadly speaking, is the use of threats to influence another’s behavior. Although there is a substantial and growing literature on coercion, there is little consensus within that literature as to what qualifies as a successful example of coercion. Different authors formulate their own definitions of “success” and apply them to case studies, often with contrasting findings within the same cases. That is because the literature lacks a clear conceptual framework to analyze coercion.
Technology And Naval Blockade, Roger W. Barnett
Technology And Naval Blockade, Roger W. Barnett
Naval War College Review
Through the centuries major changes have taken place in the ability of states to prevent the movement of ships or particular goods over the sea lanes of the world.1 Some of the changes have been wrought by technological evolution, some by increasing importance of seaborne trade, and some by alterations in the structure of international relations. The combined effect has profoundly af- fected both the way maritime blockades are conducted in the twenty-first cen- tury and the means employed for them. In large measure, it has also rendered the traditional law of blockade obsolete.
The Growing Prospects For Maritime Security Cooperationin Southeast Asia., John F. Bradford
The Growing Prospects For Maritime Security Cooperationin Southeast Asia., John F. Bradford
Naval War College Review
The sea dominates Southeast Asia, covering roughly 80 percent of its area. The region’s islands and peninsulas, wedged between the Pacific and Indian oceans, border major arteries of communication and commerce. Thus the eco- nomic and political affairs of Southeast Asia have been dominated by the sea. In the premodern period, ports such as Svirijaya and Malacca established empires based upon sea power in area waters. In succeeding centuries European warships and their heavy guns were the keys to colonization.
Taiwan, James R. Holmes, Toshi Yoshihara
Taiwan, James R. Holmes, Toshi Yoshihara
Naval War College Review
The past four years have witnessed an unexpected warming of relations between the United States and China. The rancor generated by the EP-3 spy-plane controversy and the debate over American arms sales to Taiwan dissi- pated in the wake of the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington. Beijing supported the U.S.-led campaign in Afghanistan. It has co-operated with the United States in the war on terror, sharing intelligence and coordinating law-enforcement efforts.1 Perhaps most strikingly, Chinese officials have worked quietly but assiduously to break the nu- clear impasse on the Korean Peninsula.
Thinking About Basing, Robert E. Harkavy
Thinking About Basing, Robert E. Harkavy
Naval War College Review
Recent U.S. experiences—1990–91 in the Persian Gulf, in Bosnia, Kosovo, and then in Afghanistan (2001) and Iraq (2003)—have highlighted the complexities and uncertainties of basing access in the post–Cold War period. They have involved questions of access to, and overhead transit rights for, a variety of nations: all over Europe, Egypt, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Tadzhikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Djibouti, and many others. They have also highlighted the crucial importance of the future of American basing access at a time of shifting alli- ances, friendships, and enmities amid wholesale changes in the structure of the international system, and of the movement to …

President’S Forum, J.L. Shuford
Naval War College Review
The Naval War College plays two coequal roles in preparing the Navy for the challenges of the twenty-first century: educating fu- ture leaders and helping to define naval forces and operational concepts through research, analysis, and war gaming. Although for simplicity I have said the College has two distinct missions, in reality classroom instruction and research, analysis, and war gaming are thor- oughly intertwined. In order to graduate, all of our students must participate in at least one large, multiweek war game planned by our Joint Military Operations Department and executed by our War Gaming Department. An increasing number of …

Targeted Killing And The Law Of Armed Conflict, Gary Solis
Targeted Killing And The Law Of Armed Conflict, Gary Solis
Naval War College Review
Targeted killing is not the battlefield killing of combatants by opposing combatants or the assassination of an individual for political purposes. But in a new age of nonstate actors engaged in transnational terrorist violence, it has become a new reality, and the law of armed conflict should recognize it.
On Major Naval Operations, Milan Vego
On Major Naval Operations, Milan Vego
Naval War College Review
Western naval theoreticians and planners in recent years have neglected the study of major naval operations, of the sort carried out by the U.S. Navy in World War II. But it would be dangerous to assume that major naval operations are of simply historical interest; they should be thought about more systematically.
A Bimodal Force For The National Maritime Strategy, Wayne P. Hughes Jr.
A Bimodal Force For The National Maritime Strategy, Wayne P. Hughes Jr.
Naval War College Review
A “bimodal” national military strategy would have two, and only two, objectives: first, the capabilities to deal with a peer competitor, and second, the means to conduct several small operations concurrently. What capabilities would the naval forces need? Would they cost no more than our present capabilities? Would this bimodal force be capable of dealing with other situations?
Notes Toward A New Maritime Strategy, George W. Baer
Notes Toward A New Maritime Strategy, George W. Baer
Naval War College Review
A strategy, argues a distinguished Naval War College scholar, will show the maritime services what they are to protect, what they are to pursue, and for what they are to prepare. A new maritime strategy will express the way the nation sees itself in respect to the world ocean and declare what the fleet can do about it.
