Joint Operations and the Vicksburg Campaign
ISBN: 9781511729178 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This historical study investigates why Union joint operations between army and navy forces on the Mississippi and other western rivers were effective. It examines the development of a joint doctrine at the strategic, operational, and tactical levels of war. Joint riverine warfare on the western rivers was a new experience for the U.S. military. There was no clear delineation between services of specific missions or responsibilities. Joint operations incorporated numerous battlefield operating systems that the leadership had to integrate and synchronize. At the strategic level, Washington...

Fighting Afghanistan's Opium Dependency as a Means of Disrupting al Qaeda's Illicit Funding
ISBN: 9781503253513 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 76 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Afghanistan supplies 87 percent of the global opium product, and terrorist organizations are using the narcotics trade to fund their operations. The nascent Afghani government has a limited capacity to combat this problem without significant assistance from the U.S. and its coalition partners. This book examines the question: Is the current model of interagency counterdrug cooperation sufficient to rid Afghanistan of its opium dependency and disrupt one of al Qaeda's main sources of funding? To help answer this question this thesis will review the current coalition, joint and interagency...

Lieutenant General Robert L. Bullard: Understanding Small and Large Conflicts [K
ISBN: 9781500721701 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 46 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The purpose of this monograph is to examine the career of LTG Robert L. Bullard. Bullard served during a seminal period in United States history. Often overlooked as one of the nation's more progressive and ambitious leaders, largely because of the time he served and biases he held, Bullard's memoirs and papers offer a valuable perspective to examine this era. Bullard's experiences during his initial assignments as a junior officer, the Philippine Insurrection, and the Spanish-American War prepared him for his later career when he commanded at the most senior levels during World War I. A...

Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy: Totalitarian Menace of Monolithic Illusion? An Analysis of the Axis Coalition
ISBN: 9781500149789 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Italy's invasion of Ethiopia in 1935 irrevocably changed the European geopolitical framework. After 1935, Mussolini would come increasingly under Hitler's influence. Hitler would also begin to free Germany from the restrictions imposed by the Treaty of Versailles and Anglo-French encirclement. Using 1935 as a point of departure, this book traces the development of the Italo-German coalition, its strategic interests, outlook, commonalities, and areas of contention. The advance of Italo-German interests during from 1935 to the beginning of the Second World War--an era characterized by the Great...

The Proximity Principle: Army Chaplains on the Fighting Line in Doctrine and History
ISBN: 9781511615310 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 134 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The first official U.S. Army chaplain doctrine appeared in 1926 and contained this guidance: "The duty of the chaplain lies with the men of his command who are on the fighting line." This guidance reflected a principle of proximity-that is, chaplains minister wherever their soldiers are found, up to and including during direct ground combat.

Intelligence Failure in Korea: Major General Charles A. Willoughby's Role in the United Nations Command's Defeat in November, 1950
ISBN: 9781503122970 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 140 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In November, 1950, the United States Army suffered one of its most devastating defeats ever, in the frozen mountains of North Korea at the hands of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. This defeat fundamentally changed the nature of the Korean War. It was, however, avoidable. This Chinese victory was partially the result of one of the most glaring failures in U.S. military intelligence history. The officer most responsible for this failure was the Far East Command Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence (G2), Major General Charles Andrew Willoughby. His inaccurate intelligence picture...

Field Marshal Slim-Theoretical Thinking and the Impact of Theory on Campaign Planning
ISBN: 9781500912116 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 52 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Field Marshall Viscount Slim holds a special place in modern military history. He soundly defeated the Imperial Japanese Army in Burma in 1945, retaking the strategically important Burma Road, and safeguarding the Chinese Theater from sure culmination. By all accounts, Slim is a military genius, having achieved this notable victory even after the Japanese 15th Army pushed Allied troops all the way back to India. The historical records attribute Slim's success to his superior ability to lead soldiers in combat, but they tell only half the story. By tracing Slim's implicit process of...

The 1923 Greco-Turkish Population Exchange: Successful Prevention of Genocide and Mass Atrocities
ISBN: 9781511615341 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 110 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This thesis is a case study of the 1923 Greco-Turkish population exchange and asserts the compulsory expulsion effectively prevented genocide of Orthodox Christians living in Asia Minor. To support this argument historical evidence leading up to the exchange is presented and examined for specific genocide indicators. Contemporary terms and viewpoints of genocide and mass atrocities are used to assess the historical facts and support the hypothesis. The study further addresses the long term results of the exchange. This study is focused only on the events that support the thesis and does not...

The Influence of Captain Alfred Thayer Mahan Upon the United States Navy Through the United States Naval Institute Proceedings
ISBN: 9781503145801 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Nearly a century after his death, the influence of Captain Alfred Thayer Mahan continues to fuel debate, discussion and research. As a prolific author, Mahan used the print media, the dominant form of communication in the early twentieth century, to influence the American public, government and the United States Navy. Although many studies have addressed his influence upon a specific topic, none have examined his influence through a single print media outlet. This study focuses on Mahan's use of the United States Naval Institute's magazine, Proceedings, from 1900-1914. An examination of...

The purpose of this book is to uncover the history of the 2nd Ranger Company and to determine the impact segregation had on the selection, training, and combat operations of the 2nd Ranger Company. Subordinate questions are: What effect did black officers commanding black soldiers have on unit cohesion? How did leadership, training, and leader development contribute to successful combat operations? What role did the perception of inferiority, unwillingness to fight, and racial discrimination have on training, support, and combat operations? What role did segregation in the society play on...

Females and Toxic Leadership
ISBN: 9781500609634 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 76 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Is there a gender component in toxic leadership? Existing conceptions of toxic leadership fail to account for gender. The real world significance of these conceptions is that female leaders labeled with the pejorative of being toxic leaders suffer unjustly. I argue that the concept of toxic leadership has an untheorized and neglected gender component. I problematize existing definitions of toxic leadership and theorize the possibility that female leaders are denominated as toxic leaders for merely exhibiting and practicing traditionally celebrated masculine traits. I demonstrate the...

The Decisive Role of Operational Time and the Information Environment in the Israel-Hezbollah War of 2006
ISBN: 9781508902751 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Why did the Israel-Hezbollah War of 2006 result in strategic failure for Israel? To date, the explanations for Israel's strategic failure have centered on the relatively poor performance of the Israel Defense Force (IDF), specifically as it relates to the employment of Effects Based Operations (EBO) and Systemic Operational Design (SOD) methodologies, an overreliance on air power, and a general lack of readiness for sustained combined arms operations by the ground forces. However, these explanations, while certainly contributing factors and sources of operational friction, do not adequately...

Is Current US Counterinsurgency Doctrine Applicable to Lebanese Hizballah and the Taliban?
ISBN: 9781500852283 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 134 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book explores the applicability of current US counterinsurgency doctrine in Joint Publication 3-24, Field Manual 3-24 and Field Manual 3-24.2 to the Lebanese Hizballah and Taliban insurgencies. In particular, this book examines the Cold War operational environment which influenced the writings of Mao Tse Tung, David Galula and Bard O'Neill and contrasts that to the current operational environment in which Lebanese Hizballah and the Taliban operate. Additionally, the book explores the historical evolution of Hizballah and the Taliban and the applicability of current US counterinsurgency...

The Duke of Wellington and the Supply System During the Peninsula War
ISBN: 9781500501051 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Napoleon's invasion of the Iberian Peninsula brought Spain, Portugal, and Britain into a close, if sometimes uneasy alliance. When an expeditionary force led by General Sir Arthur Wellesley, later the 1st Duke of Wellington, disembarked in Portugal in August 1808, the British Army had been at war with France for five years. If the experience gained during campaigns on five continents had sharpened the efficiency of the Commissary Department, whose staff supplied and transported its rations, Wellington might not have complained after only one week in Portugal: I have had the greatest...

The Emergence of Operational Art in the Great Sioux War 1876-1877
ISBN: 9781507579251 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 66 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Sioux War of 1876-1877 was the largest campaign of the late-nineteenth century Indian Wars. This conflict grew out of the desire of the United States Government to resolve confusing territorial claims to the Black Hills and the "unceded territories" of the Powder and Yellowstone River valleys. The numerous and fierce Lakota and their northern Cheyenne allies controlled these areas and drove out rival Indian tribes and the United States Army in the late 1860s, and established dominance in the region. The Division of the Missouri, led by Lieutenant General Philip Sheridan, had developed a...

NATO'S Air War in Libya: A Template for Future American Operations
ISBN: 9781502877529 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 86 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. America's recent experience in Afghanistan and Iraq proved that it is easier to get into war than it is to get out of it. These two conflicts bleed America, in terms of not only blood, but also its financial treasures. In an attempt to avoid these expenses in the future, this book explores if there is a better way to achieve our nation's policy objectives. This work attempts to answer the question: does NATO's air war in Libya provide a template for how the United States will settle its future military conflicts? This book explores three case studies involving airpower to identify the...

Admiral David Glasgow Farragut: A Study of the Criteria Used to Select the Commander of the West Gulf Blockading Squadron
ISBN: 9781500821494 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 84 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book examines the life and career of Admiral David G. Farragut. Specifically, this paper addresses the primary question: Why was Farragut chosen to command the West Gulf Blockading Squadron? This book seeks to establish the criteria used in Farragut's selection.

Legio Patria Nostra: The History of the French Foreign Legion Since 1962
ISBN: 9781500383657 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 108 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The French Foreign Legion is an integral part of the recently professionalized French regular army, yet outside of Europe and Asia, the organization remains an obscure and sometimes misunderstood entity with even some American military officers unaware of its existence. Many believed the Legion went the way of French imperialism after the country's defeat in the Algerian War in 1962. In those post-war years, however, the Legion shed its mercenary image through reorganization and real world operations and quietly rebuilt itself into a ready and relevant fighting force. This book summarizes the...

Building Guderian's Duck: Germany's Response to the Eastern Front Antitank Crisis, 1941-1945
ISBN: 9781505408898 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The appearance of the T-34 in 1941 caused a crisis for German antitank forces. Existing antitank guns were nearly impotent against the new Russian tank, while antiaircraft and artillery pieces, though successful when pressed into action, were insufficiently mobile to accompany mechanized forces. The German Army Ordnance Office, the Heereswaffenamt, was responsible for development of new weapons and would be responsible for countering the threat of Russian armor. The Heereswaffenamt would need to not only counter the T-34, but also do so in an environment of shifting political relationships...
