Angels of Armageddon: The Royal Air Force in the Battle of Megiddo
ISBN: 9781500822804 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Egypt and Palestine offered the British an opportunity to fight a war of movement. Unlike the Western Front, Egypt and Palestine were undeveloped with wide expanses of land. It was ripe for the development of maneuver warfare using the mechanical products of the industrial age: motor cars, machine guns, tanks and aeroplanes. In particular, the use of aeroplanes proved vital to the successful British defense of the Suez Canal by providing reconnaissance of enemy formations and early warnings of attack. This role of the Royal Flying Corps expanded in this theater to cover the breadth and depth...

Achieving Total War Goals with a Limited War Force: Convincing the Enemy to Accept Defeat
ISBN: 9781502765079 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. After toppling the regime of Saddam Hussein in a few weeks, the decisive operational maneuver victory was not enough to defeat the enemy's will to fight. Instead of challenging US forces in a conventional military battle, the enemy has now sought an asymmetrical fight through the use of suicide bombers, kidnappings, beheadings and improvised explosive devices in order to wear down US resolve. This book ascertains what is needed to completely defeat the enemy. More importantly, the book argues that when the Soviet Union dissolved, the military and policy makers should have recognized the...

The central thesis is that the parallels between the public debates on the proposed downsizing of the United States' Armed Forces in the 1990s and the debates on the creation of a permanent American military establishment in the 1780s and 1790s...

This book will describe the significant events and experiences that shaped the Powell Doctrine and affected the manner in which General Colin Powell applied those principles during his tenure as the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) from October 1989 until September 1993. The Weinberger Doctrine and Powell's experience in Vietnam are frequently cited as catalysts for the Powell Doctrine. Although Vietnam served as an important driving force for Powell, the formulation and application of Powell's doctrine was greater than the so-called Vietnam Syndrome. Powell's understanding of...

The U.S. Army Airborne Division, 1942 to 1945 Concept, Combat and Evolution
ISBN: 9781500731489 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In 1939, the U.S. Army had no formal combat formation capable of reaching the battlefield by air. In response to the success of German airborne operations, the U.S. Army formed a small unit of volunteers which was to experiment with airborne equipment and develop techniques. In the span of six years, the fledgling airborne concept expanded from a small platoon of parachute volunteers into five deployed airborne divisions composed of parachute and glider forces with a formal doctrine. This thesis examines the development of the airborne division through its employment in the Mediterranean and...

Today's most talked about subject is "terrorism," described as the greatest threat to the peace-loving world and humanity.

The current war against terrorism is being fought on military, political, social, economic, and educational fronts with the primary focus on the military element.

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...

Women in Combat Arms: A Study of the Global War on Terror
ISBN: 9781503163461 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 90 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The recent institutionalization of women in combat reignites a long standing debate on their roles in the military; a debate that elicits emotionally charged responses by proponents and critics alike. While much of the current discourse concerns hypothetical discussions of women in direct combat, there is a population of female soldiers that have contributed as front line "trigger pullers" throughout the course of the past 12 years of war in both Iraq and Afghanistan. These women are Army aviators who have served in attack aviation roles, without restriction, since the beginning of major...

The Dragonian Subsurface Abyss and Submarine Force's Ability to Counter the Rising Threat
ISBN: 9781500954291 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 58 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In January 2012, President Obama announced America's shift in strategic focus to the Asia-Pacific region. While the administration seeks enhancement of America's relationship with China to secure vital U.S. economic and security interests, the lack of transparency in the build-up of the Chinese submarine force may threaten this goal. Advancements in the numbers and capabilities of China's diesel-electric submarine fleet are enabling development of its area denial capability in the vast littoral areas of the Western Pacific. Improvements in China's nuclear fast-attack submarine force are...

Leonard Wood, Operational Artist of Scheming Careerist
ISBN: 9781500609870 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 58 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Leonard Wood conducted a variety of civil and military operations as the Military Governor of Cuba and the Military Governor of the Moro Provence in the Philippines. Critics generally praise his military governorship of Cuba, and condemn his military governorship of the Moro Province. The logic these critics use is that Wood was successful in Cuba because he did not use violent military actions to pacify the Cubans, and that he was not successful in the Moro Province because many of his actions to pacify the Moros were violent, and frequently brutal. Critics cite Wood's desire for career...

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...

Eisenhower's Pursuit of Strategy: The Importance of Understanding the Influence of Leadership Styles on Strategic Decision Makers
ISBN: 9781500877781 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Eisenhower preferred to build consensus for his strategies by using multiple communication techniques to convey his intent. If consensus was not achieved and his intent was not carried out he would aggressively move to eliminate the source of friction. This book will analyze four case studies to demonstrate that it is critically important for subordinates and peers to understand the influence of leadership styles on strategic decision makers. It will also argue that the consequences for not understanding strategic decision makers can mean the difference between individual, organizational or...

Joint Countermobility Capabilities in the Department of Defense
ISBN: 9781508904175 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 84 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Today's military leadership is faced with the changing culture of a financially constrained environment. The Department of Defense has noted a shortcoming in countermobility capability and emphasized a shift from COIN to small scale wars in a variety of environments and has also emphasized the use of interorganizational capabilities. This thesis examines if US land forces (US Army and US Marines) are properly trained, equipped, and manned to support countermobility operations. Both the US Army and the US Marines have fundamentally similar doctrine and training for countermobility operations....

Marine Corps Interwar Period Innovation and Implications for the Upcoming Post Operation Enduring Freedom Period
ISBN: 9781500881375 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 46 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Marine Corps has struggled for survival at least 15 times during its 237-year history. During these times of existential crisis, strong leadership, initiative, and ingenuity have ensured a place for the Marine Corps in America's strategic defense policy. The present day ability to provide amphibious forces deployed continuously worldwide is a direct evolution of the amphibious doctrine developed during the interwar period between World War I and World War II. The Marine Corps' ability to provide such forces was a key reason it avoided absorption into the Army. Likewise, the capabilities...

Historical Review of U.S. Foreign Aid as a Tool of Foreign Policy in Israel and Egypt During 1952-1969
ISBN: 9781500568238 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 34 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Foreign aid is considered a continuation of diplomacy by other means and a tool of foreign policy. However, in the current lean economic times, the competition for limited budgetary resources is fierce and the effectiveness of U.S. foreign aid at projecting U.S. influence is hotly debated within the government and the American public. This research builds on previous studies by examining the use of foreign aid as a U.S. foreign policy tool in Egypt and Israel through select historical examples from the 1950s and 1960s. The United States considers the Middle East stability to be a top national...
