Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many books have been written about strategy, tactics, and great commanders. This is the first book to deal exclusively with the nature of command itself, and to trace its development over two thousand years from ancient Greece to Vietnam. It treats historically the whole variety of problems involved in commanding armies, including staff organization and administration, communications methods and technologies, weaponry, and logistics. And it analyzes the relationship between these problems and military strategy. In vivid descriptions of key battles and campaigns—among others, Napoleon at Jena, Moltke’s Königgrätz campaign, the Arab–Israeli war of 1973, and the Americans in Vietnam—Martin van Creveld focuses on the means of command and shows how those means worked in practice. He finds that technological advances such as the railroad, breech-loading rifles, the telegraph and later the radio, tanks, and helicopters all brought commanders not only new tactical possibilities but also new limitations. Although vast changes have occurred in military thinking and technology, the one constant has been an endless search for certainty—certainty about the state and intentions of the enemy’s forces; certainty about the manifold factors that together constitute the environment in which war is fought, from the weather and terrain to radioactivity and the presence of chemical warfare agents; and certainty about the state, intentions, and activities of one’s own forces. The book concludes that progress in command has usually been achieved less by employing more advanced technologies than by finding ways to transcend the limitations of existing ones.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cayo Julio César o Gayo Julio César nació en Roma en el año 100 A:C y murió asesinado en la misma ciudad a la edad de 56 años en el 44 a. C. Más conocido como el emperador, Julio César fue un político y militar, miembro de los patricios Julios Césares, que alcanzó las más altas magistraturas del Estado romano y dominó la política de la república tras vencer en la guerra civil que le enfrentó al sector más conservador del senado, en medio de un carnaval de intrigas que es referente para todos los estudiosos de temas relacionados con la política y el poder. A pesar de que bajo su gobierno la república experimentó un periodo de gran prosperidad, algunos senadores vieron a César como un tirano que ambicionaba restaurar la monarquía. Con el objetivo de eliminar la amenaza que suponía el dictador, un grupo de senadores formado por algunos de sus hombres de confianza como Bruto y Casio y antiguos lugartenientes como Trebonio y Décimo Bruto urdieron una conspiración con el fin de asesinarlo. Dicho complot culminó cuando, en los idus de marzo, los conspiradores asesinaron a César en el recinto del senado. Su muerte provocó el estallido de otra guerra civil, en la que los partidarios del régimen de César, Antonio, Octavio y Lépido, derrotaron en la doble batalla de Filipos a sus asesinos, liderados por Bruto y Casio. Al término del conflicto, Octavio, Antonio y Lépido formaron el Segundo Triunvirato y se repartieron los territorios de la república, aunque, una vez apartado Lépido, finalmente volverían a enfrentarse en Accio, donde Octavio, heredero de César, venció a Marco Antonio. Al margen de su carrera política y militar, su vida fue apasionante, intensa y fecunda en el ámbito intelectual. Julio César se destacó como orador y escritor. Redactó un tratado de astronomía, otro acerca de la religión republicana romana y un estudio sobre el latín, ninguno de los cuales sobrevivió a las guerras, los incendios, los saqueos y los interminables odios políticos, que pocos siglos después desembocaron en la caída del gran imperio romano. Las únicas obras escritas por Julio César que aún se conservan son sus Comentarios de la guerra de las Galias y sus Comentarios de la guerra civil. Se conoce el desarrollo de su carrera como militar y gran parte de su vida a través de sus propias obras y de los escritos de autores como Suetonio, Plutarco, Veleyo Patérculo o Eutropio y Aulo Hircio de quien se incluyen en este compendio lo comentarios de la Guerra de Africa y los Comentarios de la Guerra de Alejandría.

This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La grandeza y la estatura mental de los l�deres, es indescriptible. Es dif�cil expresar con exactitud el alcance de quienes talvez vivieron dentro de una �poca, la cual no les correspond�a. El general Douglas Mc Arthur es uno de ellos. Con sobradas razones alguien lo denomin� el C�sar de Siglo XX. El expresidente de Estados Unidos Richard Nixon lo catalog� como uno de los hombres m�s grandes de todos los tiempos. Roosevelt lo llam� la encarnaci�n del pueblo americano, pero Harry Trumman lo destituy� del cargo de Comandante Supremo de las Fuerzas Aliadas en el Pac�fico, debido a ligerezas temperamentales del entonces presidente de Estados Unidos y no por conveniencia para los intereses del mundo occidental, que se dirim�an en el Lejano Oriente.Es dif�cil resumir las virtudes del militar norteamericano en cuyo haber figura la mayor genialidad, puesta al servicio de intereses militares de Estados Unidos, durante el desarrollo de las dos grandes guerras mundiales. Hijo de otro general Douglas Mac Arthur naci� y se cri� en medio de la milicia, luego se hizo grande en el manejo del arte de la guerra, y muri� considerado como uno de los mejores estadistas a lo largo de todos los tiempos.Criticado, vituperado, difamado y hasta calumniado, siempre fue altivo. Su dignidad sobrepas� linderos del com�n usanza. Tuvo la fortaleza para ser obstinado en persecuci�n de prop�sitos, con los que coadyuv� directamente a engrandecer la pol�tica exterior de su pa�s, y a enaltecer los principios que profesa el mundo occidental, en aras de la libertad individual.Genios de la Estrategia Volumen IV, resalta con amplios detalles la vigencia estrat�gica y militar de las ideas del general Douglas Mc Arthur, su clara visi�n acerca del expansionismo comunista, su amor por la libertad del ser humano, y su arraigada vocaci�n castrense. La biograf�a de este ilustre militar es emotiva. Cada paso dado por el insigne general Douglas Mac Arthur refleja la abnegaci�n exclusiva de los grandes capitanes de la historia universal. Entre las muchas ense�anzas que dej� grabadas para la posteridad podemos extractar a guisa de ejemplo, las siguientes:1. Los problemas subversivos deben enfocarse como un todo y deben atacarse por la cabeza para erradicar el mal de ra�z.2. Nadie m�s que el soldado, ansia la paz con tanta vehemencia, ya que es el dado quien debe soportar en primera instancia los horrores de la guerra.3. En la guerra no hay nada que substituya la victoria.4. El comunismo solo quiere el poder. El apaciguamiento ante la agresi�n marxista-leninista es un procedimiento indigno. La pacificaci�n mediante la victoria es lo �nico digno en esta y en cualquier guerra.5. La guerra no es la confrontaci�n de un ej�rcito contra otro, o contra fraccio-nes guerrilleras. Es una lucha total y frontal en que est�n comprometidos la naci�n, el gobierno y sus fuerzas militares.6. Se puede tener un ej�rcito mal alimentado, mal armado, mal equipado y sobrevivir� pero cuando llegue el combate decisivo, este ej�rcito ser� incuestionablemente derrotado.7. El mejor comandante es quien gana la guerra con m�nimas bajas en sus fi-las. 8. A las personas se les debe decir, que es lo que se debe hacer, pero no como hacerlo y el jefe se sorprender� de los resultados.9. No esperar a que llegue la guerra. Es necesario intuirla y prepararse ade-cuadamente para afrontarla.10. Echar cenizas al pasado. Cada guerra vendr� de manera diferente.11. Si se desea alcanzar el �xito en las operaciones militares, se debe estimular la preparaci�n integral de los cuadros de mando, para que decidan y act�en con el mayor nivel de eficiencia. La preparaci�n es la llave del �xito.12. El entrenamiento f�sico es fundamental para las tropas que van al combate.13. Si un pa�s quiere ganar una guerra debe entrenar muchos oficiales. Cualquier esfuerzo legal y moral que se haga en pos de conquistar la paz como producto de la victoria, es valedero en todos los casos.

Download or read book The Paths of Heaven The Evolution of Airpower Theory written by and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Airpower is not widely understood. Even though it has come to play an increasingly important role in both peace and war, the basic concepts that define and govern airpower remain obscure to many people, even to professional military officers. This fact is largely due to fundamental differences of opinion as to whether or not the aircraft has altered the strategies of war or merely its tactics. If the former, then one can see airpower as a revolutionary leap along the continuum of war; but if the latter, then airpower is simply another weapon that joins the arsenal along with the rifle, machine gun, tank, submarine, and radio. This book implicitly assumes that airpower has brought about a revolution in war. It has altered virtually all aspects of war: how it is fought, by whom, against whom, and with what weapons. Flowing from those factors have been changes in training, organization, administration, command and control, and doctrine. War has been fundamentally transformed by the advent of the airplane.

Book excerpt: "Who are the censors of foreign literature? What motives influence them as they patrol the boundaries between cultures? Can cuts and changes sometimes save a book? What difference does it make when the text is for children, or designed for schools? These and other questions are explored in this wide-ranging international collection, with copious examples: from Catullus to Quixote, Petrarch to Shakespeare, Wollstonecraft to Waugh, Apuleius to Mansfield, how have migrating writers fared? We see many genres, from Celtic hero-tales to histories, autobiographies, polemics and even popular songs, transformed on their travels by the censor's hand."--BOOK JACKET.
