In this unprecedented account of the intensive air and ground operations in Iraq, two of America’s most distinguished military historians bring clarity and depth to the first major war of the new millennium. Reaching beyond the blaring headlines, embedded videophone reports, and daily Centcom briefings, Williamson Murray and Robert Scales analyze events in light of past military experiences, present battleground realities, and future expectations.The Iraq War puts the recent conflict into context. Drawing on their extensive military expertise, the authors assess the opposing aims of the Coalition forces and the Iraqi regime and explain the day-to-day tactical and logistical decisions of infantry and air command, as British and American troops moved into Basra and Baghdad. They simultaneously step back to examine long-running debates within the U.S. Defense Department about the proper uses of military power and probe the strategic implications of those debates for America’s buildup to this war. Surveying the immense changes that have occurred in America’s armed forces between the Gulf conflicts of 1991 and 2003―changes in doctrine as well as weapons―this volume reveals critical meanings and lessons about the new “American way of war” as it has unfolded in Iraq.
In March 2006, President George W. Bush signed a new National Security Strategy that he refers to as a "wartime national security strategy" and states that to follow the path the United States has chosen, we must "maintain and expand our national strength." One way to do this is to study and propose solutions to the complex challenges the United States faces in the 21st century. At the U.S. Army War College, the students have embraced this challenge and spend a year developing their intellectual strength in areas that extend well beyond the familiar operational and tactical realm to which they are accustomed. This collection of essays written by students enrolled in the U.S. Army War College Advanced Strategic Art Program (ASAP) reflects the development of their strategic thought applied to a wide range of contemporary issues based in theory, doctrine, strategy and history
Kniha je autentickým vylíčením a úplným rozborem okolností, jež vedly k porážce luftwaffe za druhé světové války. Autor analyzuje všechna zásadní rozhodnutí, učiněná v průběhu války a posuzuje je z hlediska postojů, které převládaly ještě před vypuknutím bojů, a v plném světle odhaluje chyby, jichž se dopustili vysocí velitelé luftwaffe, když se pokoušeli formulovat svou dlouhodobou strategii, stejně jako nedostatky v plánování, tedy dvě okolnosti, jež ve svém důsledku vedly k porážce. Kniha upoutá množstvím původních fotografií vhodně skloubených s novodobými grafickými materiály. Obě tyto složky, stejně jako četná argumentace v podobě statistických údajů, které doktor Murray nashromáždil, jsou vhodným doplněním textu. Strategie pro porážku je fascinujícím historickým dílem, které by nemělo uniknout nikomu, kdo se zabývá studiem luftwaffe, případně zkoumá úlohu letectva ve válce obecně.
