Character In Action: The U.S. Coast Guard Onleadership,, Laura Miller
Character In Action: The U.S. Coast Guard Onleadership,, Laura Miller
Naval War College Review
According to the opening chapter, the Coast Guard manages to achieve a complex mission on an annual budget that is smaller than 2 percent of all the other services’ combined budgets. Phillips and Loy identify a twelve-part mission that includes responsibilities ranging from boating safety to homeland de- fense. Thus they argue that the Coast Guard provides a valuable case study for leading a complex organization be- cause it achieves so much with limited funds.
The Face Of Naval Battle: The Human Experience Ofmodern War At Sea,, Richard J. Norton
The Face Of Naval Battle: The Human Experience Ofmodern War At Sea,, Richard J. Norton
Naval War College Review
An author who uses the words “the face of battle” in the title of any book per- taining to military matters is throwing down a pretty hefty literary gauntlet. For “face of battle” guarantees that the work in question will be compared to Keegan’s 1976 landmark volume of the same name. Keegan asked the basic question, “What is it like to be in a bat- tle?” He sought the answer in a compar- ative study of the battles of Agincourt, Waterloo, and the Somme.
Intelligence In War:Knowledge Of The Enemy From Napoleon To Al-Qaeda, David A. Smith
Intelligence In War:Knowledge Of The Enemy From Napoleon To Al-Qaeda, David A. Smith
Naval War College Review
Among many military historians, the release of a book by John Keegan is cause for celebration, and the sentiment is not altogether out of place. Keegan’s prolific output of insightful studies, reaching back to his seminal Face of Battle (1992), has won for himself dev- otees from both the academic and public sectors. In his latest book, Intelligence in War, Keegan returns to the distinctive format he used in The Face of Battle, dividing his study into several vignettes from a broad range of military his- tory—what he labels here as “a collec- tion of case studies”—organized, in this case, …
Know Thy Enemy: Profiles Of Adversary Leaders Andtheir Strategic Cultures,, Brenda L. Connors
Know Thy Enemy: Profiles Of Adversary Leaders Andtheir Strategic Cultures,, Brenda L. Connors
Naval War College Review
The devastating attack of 9/11 starkly revealed how the United States failed to understand its adversary and, by exten- sion, itself. The difficult, age-old chal- lenge for the United States to accurately assess foreign leaders has not changed, nor has its spotty track record of getting it right. It is a tough business getting at human identity and predicting the behavior of reclusive, complex characters to whom we have no access and who possess weapons of mass destruction. However, with America’s extraordinary resources one must ask why the United States has not brought to bear its best know-how to fill …
Corporate Warriors,, Richard Lacquement
Corporate Warriors,, Richard Lacquement
Naval War College Review
Corporate Warriors is a must read for military professionals and national se- curity experts. It opens a dialogue to a valuable aspect of national security that demands greater attention—the armed forces’ use of contractors. The frame- work Singer develops is especially worthwhile, and although many of his suggestions are often provocative, in some areas his analysis is flawed and the implications are loose and unsup- ported. Overall, however, this work is a superb effort to advance discussion on a critical topic.
The Art Of War,, Carnes Lord
The Art Of War,, Carnes Lord
Naval War College Review
Machiavelli’s classic, if now rarely read, The Art of War was probably the single most popular military treatise in Eu- rope prior to Jomini—Clausewitz was a professed admirer. At first sight, this book, with its appar- ent attempt to revive the infantry- centered military organization of the imperial Roman legions, seems hope- lessly irrelevant to present concerns. Even within its historical setting (it was originally published in 1521), Machiavelli’s work is often dismissed today for its alleged failure to appreci- ate the social and technological trends—particularly the growing im- portance of gunpowder—underpinning the “revolution in military affairs” of the sixteenth …

To The Edge Of Nowhere?, Gudni Th. Jóhannesson
To The Edge Of Nowhere?, Gudni Th. Jóhannesson
Naval War College Review
In May 1951, the United States and Iceland signed an agreement on the permanent presence of American forces on the island. The arrangement was in many ways momentous. For the first time in its history, the United States had made a bilateral defense pact with another state. Also, troops were stationed in Iceland in peacetime for the first time since the settlement of the island over 1,100 years ago. When the first contingent arrived, a Bank of England official who dealt with Icelandic matters in London summed up the significance of its appearance by saying that from now on the …
Self-Inflicted Vulnerabilities, Stephen D. Wolthusen
Self-Inflicted Vulnerabilities, Stephen D. Wolthusen
Naval War College Review
One of the most prominent, if sometimes controversial, figures in software engineering resigned in 1985 from the Panel on Computing in Support of Battle Management of the Strategic Defense Initiative Office, publishing a series of essays declaring it unlikely that the program would meet the goals implicitly set forth by President Ronald Reagan for the SDI program.1 Two decades later, this assessment has gained in pertinence as transformation technologies be- come reality and reliance increases on network-centric operations and C4ISR* assets to achieve critical operational objectives. Concern has spread even to the level of individual tactical units, while the potential …
New Rules For War?, Joel Rosenthal
New Rules For War?, Joel Rosenthal
Naval War College Review
In launching a campaign to disarm and liberate Iraq, the United States has crossed, some say hurdled across, two thresholds—one strategic, the other diplomatic. Strategically, the United States delivered on its promise to act in self-defense, absent an actual or even imminent armed attack, against threats from weapons of mass destruction. Diplomatically, the United States demonstrated its willingness to act decisively and unilaterally, if nec- essary, in the face of strong opposition from its allies.
Jus Post Bellum, Louis V. Iasiello
Jus Post Bellum, Louis V. Iasiello
Naval War College Review
Coalition nations enjoyed swift and decisive military victories in Operations DESERT STORM, ENDURING FREEDOM, and most recently, IRAQI FREEDOM. 1 At first look, these decisive military victories should prove that in regard to America’s application of military force, it is no longer a question of if its military will win its major battles but of when and how: The outcome of war used to be the overriding question. Nowadays, when it is West vs. non-West, the vast disparity in economics, technology, materiel, training and or- ganization virtually assures a Western victory. This assumed, the attention focuses on very different matters, …
A Note From The Editors, The U.S. Naval Editors
A Note From The Editors, The U.S. Naval Editors
Naval War College Review
Few military professionals, or the states they serve, can in the present state of the world follow Erasmus to his logical conclusion—never to resort under any circumstances to war. Even the most peaceable and democratic governments too often face dilemmas in which, in light of information then at hand, the prospect of war seems not the worst possible outcome. Military people, at least in states where civilian control is firmly instituted, also do not have the decisive voice in the matter.
President’S Forum, R.A. Route
President’S Forum, R.A. Route
Naval War College Review
This is the fiftieth time that command of the Naval War College has been passed from one officer to another. The first occurred in August 1886, when Captain Alfred Thayer Mahan assumed the presidency fol- lowing Commodore Stephen B. Luce’s highly successful tour as the College’s founding President. It is fascinating to wonder what may have been on Mahan’s mind as he arrived on horseback in front of Founder’s Hall to begin his first day as President.
The Relationship Between State Effectiveness And State Legitimacy: A Quantitative Test, Bich Thi Ngoc Tran
The Relationship Between State Effectiveness And State Legitimacy: A Quantitative Test, Bich Thi Ngoc Tran
Theses and Dissertations
Legitimacy is a contested concept in political science. The question of legitimacy has been addressed in various topics, including state formation, state building, and state failure. This research is an attempt to quantitatively test the relationship between state legitimacy and state effectiveness and development in the economy, politics, and society. By examining the literature on legitimacy and its sources, the research tests the following hypothesis: a state with better performance in macro issues, including economic performance, social welfare, and political participation, is more likely to enjoy a higher level of legitimacy. In other words, this study attempts to establish a …
Rough Cilicia Archaeological Survey Project: Report Of The 1996 Season, Nicholas K. Rauh
Rough Cilicia Archaeological Survey Project: Report Of The 1996 Season, Nicholas K. Rauh
Rough Cilicia Archaeological Survey Project, 1996-2011
This is a report for the 1996 season of the Rough Cilicia Archaeological Survey Project. This intensive, systematic archaeological survey took place in the vicinity of "known" Cilician pirate bases and their hinterlands . These sites offer a unique opportunity to evaluate the material remains of a distinctly nontraditional "culture" of the Hellenistic world, a culture receiving little previous archaeological attention. Our intention is to complete a surface survey of the sustaining areas of the three main sites, Coracesium (Alanya), Selinus (Gazipasha), and Antioch ad Cragum (Güney), including the intervening coastal strips as well as the major ridges that connect …

Naval War College Review
Vice Admiral Arthur K. Cebrowski, forty-seventh President of the Naval War College and later founding director of the Defense Department’s Office of Force Transformation, was the prime intellectual architect of U.S. military transformation and network-centric warfare. When he passed away on 12 November 2005, he joined the pantheon of American military innovators.
The Epistemology Of War Gaming, Robert C. Rubel
The Epistemology Of War Gaming, Robert C. Rubel
Naval War College Review
War games can produce valid knowledge, useful for planning and decisions, but they can also produce “valid-looking garbage.” There are principles that can help users and analysts tell the difference and avoid the pitfalls, but if game results are to merit reliably the confidence they are now given, the craft of gaming must become a profession.
China’S Maturing Navy, Eric A. Mcvadon
China’S Maturing Navy, Eric A. Mcvadon
Naval War College Review
A new and much more capable Chinese navy, especially its submarine force, is being acquired and deployed. It is not yet mature, but its rapid and impressive modernization is making it a navy that is arguably the only one that the U.S. Navy must deter or be able to defeat—unless, under other circumstances, it becomes a high-seas partner.
India In The Indian Ocean, Donald L. Berlin
India In The Indian Ocean, Donald L. Berlin
Naval War College Review
India has strengthened its position on the Indian Ocean’s littoral and among the ocean’s island nations. India also has become a more palpable presence in key maritime zones; its links with the most important external actors also have been strengthened. These are significant achievements, and they derive from India’s growing economic clout, maritime strength, and a surer hand in diplomacy. As this process unfolds further, it will have a transforming effect on the Indian Ocean basin and, eventually, the world.
The Proliferation Security Initiative—Cornerstone Of A New International Norm, Joel A. Doolin
The Proliferation Security Initiative—Cornerstone Of A New International Norm, Joel A. Doolin
Naval War College Review
The Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI), launched in 2003, is an international effort to limit the spread of weapons of mass destruction to rogue states and terrorists. With sixteen core member states and some sixty cooperating nations, it enjoys today many advantages of law and organization in coastal waters, but it lacks useful authority to interdict WMD on the high seas. PSI itself, however, represents an opportunity to alter international law and fill that critical gap.
