General Matthew B. Ridgway and Army Design Methodology during the Korean War
ISBN: 9781497522947 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 58 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Despite the vast research by Americans on General Matthew B. Ridgway's miraculous transformation of the Eighth Army during the Korean War, few studies have examined his operational approach, while contrasting it with General Douglas MacArthur's. The constructed reality that emerges from the literature is that General MacArthur's operational desires led to a strained relationship with President Truman and ultimately limited his ability to employ forces in the manner he believed necessary to defeat the Communist Chinese Forces. Similarly, the impression of General Ridgway painted by historical...

Rogue America: Benevolent Hegemon or Occupying Tyrant?
ISBN: 9781503055834 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 56 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book explores the question of whether there is a trend toward global perception of the United States as a rogue state. Research revealed a rogue state is one that is isolated, dedicated to the rule of force, oppresses its people, disregards international law, and most of all threatens regional or international security. Based on this working definition, America's foreign policy history does not support characterization as a rogue state, though its dominant military and some imperialist history are exploited in rogue-America rhetoric. This has led to two trends in rogue-America...

Postmodern Morals, Ends, and Means: Shifting Ideas About Why, How, and for Whom Wars are Fought
ISBN: 9781503176294 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 50 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. During the postmodern era moral reasoning on why and how nations fight has shifted. The just war tradition was founded during the fourth century in a system of thought based on natural law as defined by the Christian conception of God. This moral construct served as a means of valuing both humanitarian concerns and state sovereignty. Then, during the Enlightenment era, modernist thinkers removed God as a metaphysical basis of the just war tradition, and systematized it such that state sovereignty had greater value over humanitarian concerns. The advent of postmodernism in the last few...

A Desperate Struggle to Save a Condemned Army: A Critical Review of the Stalingrad Airlift
ISBN: 9781500164133 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 52 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Stalingrad is often described as the turning point of the German war with the Soviet Union, or perhaps even the entire European war. This paper argues that the actual turning point was probably earlier in the Barbarossa campaign, and that the decision to hold Stalingrad, while a serious mistake, followed several other strategic blunders of Adolf Hitler. Given that, this essay reflects a study of primary source material collected from key German commanders, as well as numerous documents collected in 1956 as part of the "Karlsruhe Collection." The focus was to determine where the airlift...

Combat Power Analysis is Combat Power Density
ISBN: 9781503208650 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 68 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Historically, the United States Army has had difficulty articulating and justifying force requirements to civilian decision makers. Most recently, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq reinvigorated the debate over estimated force requirements. Because Army planners have failed numerous times to provide force estimates acceptable to the President, the question arises, why are the planning methods inadequate and why have they not been improved? Research began by thoroughly evaluating current doctrinal methods for determining force requirements to determine the rationale for their creation. Army...

ISBN: 9781500798246 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Technological advancements in airpower since World War II provide the United States with the theoretical ability to target enemies in any geographic area on earth. However, during numerous conflicts over the last 60 years, enemies of the U.S. have still enjoyed sanctuary due to political restraints placed on friendly military operations. The Korean War provides an excellent example of political restraints creating an enemy sanctuary. The U.S. military had the physical capability to target Chinese forces, particularly via airstrikes, yet it was politically restrained from doing so. The...
