Book excerpt: In this thesis I argue that one of the key organizations in the development of a robust intellectual approach to warfare in Britain between 1898 and 1914 was the Royal United Service Institution (RUSI) and its attendant journal. I investigate how they conceived of what a major European war would be like and how they planned to meet that challenge. The ideas developed and propagated within the pages of the RUSI journal played a significant role in setting the tone for debates around de4fence in Britain.These included considerations of the strategic purposes of the army and navy, discussion of what their duties should be in a future conflict, and how they should best be trained, equipped, and organized. The pages of the journal also offer insight into a culture of gentlemanly debate that considered all improvements, not just major military ones, worthwhile and which believed in the possibility of bringing about social progress through rational debate. Despite the virtue of the journal's intellectual endeavours, however, the members of the RUSI were generally not immune from the dangerous misconceptions about a future great war, such as the belief that it would be short an decisive, that afflicted Europe at that time.

Download or read book Winning Wars written by Matthias Strohn and published by Casemate Academic. This book was released on 2020-12-07 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of military history essays examining the philosophical side of war and the meaning of “victory.” What does it mean to win a war? How does this differ from a simple military victory? How have different cultures and societies answered these questions through history, and how can we apply these lessons? When considering how a war might be “won,” there are three big ideas that underpin how success can be measured: ownership, intervention for effect, and fighting for ideas. These three main themes also contain a series of sub-themes: internal and external, short-term and long-term, military success versus political success, and tactical outcomes versus campaign effects versus strategic success. This book examines the constituent parts of what may comprise “victory” or “winning” in war and then travels, chronologically, through a wide variety of historical case studies, further exploring these philosophical components and weaving them into a factual discussion. The authors of each chapter will explore the three big ideas within the context of their individual case studies, offering pointers as to where, within that framework, their case study may sit. The message of this book is not just an academic exploration for its own sake, but a vital aspect (both morally and practically) of the political and military business of the application of force. In short, know in advance how you wish to end before you start. “Comprising sixteen excellent and thought-provoking essays by eighteen noted military historians and former warriors, the book comprehensively examines the realities of war and the wide-ranging concepts of victory. At the same time, it offers a very good general history of warfare.” —Baird Maritime “[This book] can provide useful insights to anyone; students and subject matter experts alike can find something to gain from this book. Most importantly, its emphasis on contemporary warfare can provide consequential information for our current military and civilian leadership, if they are willing to hear it.” —Air & Space Power Journal

Book Synopsis Blood From Stones by : Douglas Farah
Download or read book Blood From Stones written by Douglas Farah and published by Crown. This book was released on 2004-05-04 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the aftermath of 9/11, President Bush froze all terrorist assets in traditional financial institutions and money channels. But Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups have long followed a diversification strategy that has rendered the crackdown by the U.S. and other governments almost useless. Blood from Stones is the first book to uncover, through on-the-ground reporting, the interlocking web of commodities, underground transfer systems, charities, and sympathetic bankers that support terrorist activities throughout the world. As a foreign correspondent and investigative reporter for The Washington Post, Douglas Farah ventured into the dangerous and uncharted world of terrorist financing—a journey that took him across four continents. The information he gathered was far ahead of what U.S. intelligence agencies knew as they scrambled to understand the 9/11 attacks. In unprecedented detail, Farah traces the movement of money from the traffickers of “blood diamonds” in West Africa to the world diamond exchange in Belgium and homegrown money merchants in Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Karachi, and Lahore who turn cash into commodities and commodities into cash. He probes charities that siphon off money to pay for such essentials as false identification cards and safe passage for operatives. And he reveals how the funding of terrorist activities is integrated into the age-old hawala network, a trust-based system that has operated for generations across Arabia and Southeast Asia. Focusing on this critical aspect of the war on terrorism, Blood from Stones not only shows how terrorists are able to orchestrate complex and expensive attacks but also makes it clear why the war will be so difficult to win.
