ISBN: 9781500721596 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 134 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Since gaining independence in 1991, Ukraine has regularly espoused a willingness to participate in greater European integration. Despite initiation of a political dialogue between the European Union and Ukraine, however, and the signing of a Partnership and Cooperation Agreement in 1994, Ukraine did not adopt legislative reforms or undertake concrete structural changes that would have brought it closer to European Union norms and values. In addition to the poor performance of Ukraine's economy and a perceived lack of democracy, relations between the European Union and Ukraine suffered because...

ISBN: 9781500149512 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 90 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book examines the Battle of Hampton Roads, 8 and 9 March 1862, the first battle of ironclads, to determine if it was a Revolution in Military Affairs.

ISBN: 9781511557085 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 54 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. While Afghan women are difficult for coalition forces to access in their counterinsurgency efforts, they play a central role in their families and are the primary care-givers for, and have significant influence over, their children.

ISBN: 9781503101012 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book examines the moral permissibility of First Sergeant Hatley's decision to kill, and influence others to kill, four unarmed detainees near Baghdad Iraq in the spring of 2007.

This Book will strive to do more than simply understand what took place next to that Baghdad canal; it will evaluate and...

ISBN: 9781500912093 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book will look at how the U.S. deliberately used education as part of its counterinsurgency strategy in the Philippines to pacify anti-occupation violence and assimilate the archipelago under American governance. In doing so, this study highlights America's educational efforts to assimilate and "civilize" African Americans, during the post Civil War Reconstruction period, and American Indians, during the U.S.'s expansion to the Western Territories and how the U.S. transferred those lessons to its actions in the Philippines. It will also show how the military and civilian governments...

Incomplete Victory: General Allenby and Mission Command in Palestine, 1917-1918
ISBN: 9781500588113 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Palestine Campaign of the First World War exhibited a fighting style that brought with it various challenges in mission command. While General Allenby, commanding the Allied Egyptian Expeditionary Force (EEF), gained several victories in the early stages of the campaign, he did not comprehensively defeat the Turkish forces in Palestine. He drove them away from their defensive line, but they escaped, avoided destruction, and retreated north to reestablish a defense and engage the EEF at later date. This thesis argues that General Allenby did not achieve the great successes at the battles...

This thesis analyzes military doctrinal changes and adaptation during Britain's Boer War and the French counterinsurgency war in Algeria. The Boer War serves as an example of doctrinal change during a counterinsurgency campaign. The French experience demonstrates the difficult task of fighting against an ambiguous enemy who uses terrorism as its primary tactic.

The Megabyte Will Always Get Through
ISBN: 9781502959393 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 66 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The purpose of this book is to describe the future road ahead for the US Cyber community in light of the recent technical and strategic developments in the state of cyber warfare. The paper began with a realization that cyber attacks have now become weaponized, and have the ability to command computer-guided machines to destroy themselves. In effect, kinetic strikes are now possible through the means of cyber attacks. Cyber attacks have therefore become lethal in nature. Moreover, a history of such attacks indicates the offense is significantly more powerful than the defense, and that there...

Rome in the Teutoburg Forest
ISBN: 9781500771690 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Role cultural misunderstanding played on the tactical, operational, and strategic levels. The Roman commander's cultural misunderstanding of his enemy caused mistakes at the operational and tactical levels, while the Roman Emperor's cultural misunderstanding brought about mistakes at the strategic level and created poor policy decisions following the battle, which affected Rome like no other battle in its history. Chapter 2 examines the consequences of other Roman loses (with much higher casualties) to show how none of them carried the same impact as the Teutoburg loss. They were but...

Napoleon's Cavalry: A Key Element to Decisive Victory
ISBN: 9781502822338 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 110 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Napoleon's rise to power in the late eighteenth century occurred at a time when the structure of most European armies was based on the paradigm army of Frederick the Great. Napoleon, however, changed all of this and in a few short years transformed the French army into the most powerful force on the continent of Europe. During the period of 1805 to 1813, Napoleon's army had no equal with regard to operational effectiveness. Speed and positioning of forces were the two main characteristics that made the French army so successful. These same two characteristics were also inherent to French...

Army Aviation and Unified Land Operations: Renewing Army Aviation's Role and Doctrine to Dominate the Third Dimension of Land Warfare

Transforming to a modular, brigade-centric force included a transition of operating concepts as well. Just as ground maneuver brigades transformed to be more versatile, adaptable, agile, deployable and tailorable, so too, did Army Aviation. The Combat Aviation Brigade embodies many of the lessons learned yet represents many of the same mistakes made throughout the history of Army Aviation. As with previous periods in Army Aviation's history, the Aviation Branch remains disconnected from the rest of the Army's transformation. To optimize...

This book looks at the interventions of US forces in the Caribbean nations of Cuba, Dominican Republic, Haiti and Grenada between 1898 and 1998.

Headed the Wrong Way: The British Army's Painful Re-Acquaintance with Its Own COIN Doctrine in Southern Iraq
ISBN: 9781505393828 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 190 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The purpose of this book was to obtain a historically rooted understanding of the development, application, and adaptation of the British COIN approach-one from which the US has borrowed heavily. It focuses upon those factors which interfere with timely, adaptive application of current COIN doctrine as soon as the warning signs of insurgency present themselves. The price of failing to do so in terms of blood and treasure has been widely proclaimed daily in the news media during the past decade of American and British involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan. Authors on both sides of the Atlantic...

Islam arose out of a cataclysmic change in society and economics in the Arabian Peninsula during the early seventh century.

In the course of just a few years the Arabs had conquered the valuable territories of modern day Palestine, Syria, Jordan and Lebanon from the Byzantines who in turn withdrew to Anatolia after great losses. This was the first encounter between Islamic and Christian people and the aftermath set the stage for the Islamic...

Identity Conflicts: A Doctrinal Change Needed?
ISBN: 9781511696036 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 94 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. From recent operational experiences in Bosnia and Iraq, the U.S. Army has learned many important and hard-earned lessons. By incorporating some of these lessons learned into its capstone doctrine, FM 3-0, the Army has captured some key points and revamped its approach in conducting military operations in a complex environment. Meanwhile, a new thinking has emerged at the end of Cold War that focuses on the non-traditional way of examining warfare and armed conflict. Scholars such as Mary Kaldor, Herfried Munkler, and Rupert Smith have constructed an alternative approach concentrating on...

Applying Neuroscience to Enhance Tactical Leader Cognitive Performance in Combat
ISBN: 9781503253193 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 106 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The US Army relies on tactical-level leaders, not for their physical warfighting skills, but for their ability to employ cognitive thought during stressful situations. Cognitive tasks include sensing patterns, deciphering complex environments, creating novel solutions, and synchronizing multiple battlefield systems, to name but a few. The physiological response to combat can degrade that cognitive capability, preventing leaders from performing tasks critical to unit success. This book approached tactical combat leadership from a brain-based perspective, seeking ways to enhance leader...
