Maritime Terrorism, Richard Farrell

Naval War College Review

As groups prepare to memorialize the sixth anniversary of 9/11, Americans seem to have forgotten that terrorism has long had a prominent role in American history. Geoffrey Blainey describes American anarchists and assassins in the 1900s who were the equivalent of modern suicide bombers.1 Blainey re- minds us that terrorism killed an American president (William McKinley) in 1901, a hundred years before 9/11.

‘Horror of my Life’ is a poem about the atrocities that took place during the holocaust in Germany and parts of Europe.

The Strategic Implications Of Obscurants, Thomas J. Culora Mar 2018

The Strategic Implications Of Obscurants, Thomas J. Culora

Naval War College Review

Throughout history, smoke has been used in various forms to obscure naval forces at sea. During prominent naval battles in the twentieth century, from Jutland in World War I to the U.S. Navy’s clash with imperial Japanese forces off Leyte in 1944, smoke literally contributed to “the fog of war” and added to the complexity and confusion of battle.1 But is there a role for smoke or other obscurants at sea in the radar-saturated, cyber-linked maritime environment of the twenty-first century? And what, if any, are the strategic implications of obscurants? This article will explore the latter question, leaving the …

Power And Prestige: Progressive Membership In Morristown, New Jersey, Erich Morgan Huhn Mar 2018

Power And Prestige: Progressive Membership In Morristown, New Jersey, Erich Morgan Huhn

Seton Hall University Dissertations and Theses (ETDs)

At the turn of the nineteenth century the social, political, and economic foundations of American society began to shift. Old families lost influence to the wealthy new “Robber Barons” while professionals lost prestige as their work increasingly became subsumed within a growing corporate structure. As a result, Progressive politics sought to shake up the system in an attempt to both help modernize archaic systems and reinforce old power structures.

In the case of the Civic Association of Morristown the members from old families and newcomers with professional backgrounds joined forces to secure power and prestige on what they saw as …
