Download or read book The Logic of Force written by Christopher M. Gacek and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the disparities between the two dominant American political-military approaches to the use of force as an instrument of foreign policy. The first approach argues that if force is employed, it should be used at whatever level necessary to achieve decisive military objectives. The second approach argues that certain limits to the use of force may be necessary and acceptable. Case studies illustrate how the basic disagreements between the two approaches influence policy-making and military decisions. Included in the text is discussion of Vietnam, Panama, the Gulf War, Somalia and the former Yugoslavia.
Download or read book The U S Invasion of Grenada written by Philip Kukielski and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2020-01-03 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the fall of 1983, arguably the coldest year of the decades-long Cold War, the world's greatest superpower invaded Grenada, a Marxist-led Caribbean nation the size of Atlanta. Why and how this unlikely one-week war was waged was shrouded in secrecy at the time--and has remained so ever since. This book is an overdue reconsideration of Operation Urgent Fury, based on historical evidence that only recently has been revealed in declassified documents, oral history interviews and memoir accounts. This chronological narrative emphasizes the human dimension of a sudden crisis now regarded as the greatest foreign policy challenge of President Ronald Reagan's first term. Because the American intervention was hastily drafted, many snafus and accidents marked the chaotic initial days of the operation. Inevitably it fell to individual soldiers, aviators and sailors to perform heroic acts to make up for faulty intelligence, inadequate communication or poor coordination. This work recounts their inspiring, underreported stories in filling out a more complete portrait of Operation Urgent Fury. The final chapter recounts the invasion's aftereffects, especially the unexpected role it played in Congressional reform of the military for future combat in the Middle East.
Download or read book In the Service of the Public written by John Reginald P. Dumas and published by Canoe Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reginald Dumas was born in Trinidad and Tobago in 1935 and attended Queen's Royal College, Port of Spain, Cambridge University and the Institut Universaire de Haute Etudes Internationales, Geneva. In 1979-80 he was a Visiting Fellow at Queen Elizabeth House, Oxford. His non-academic education continues. He spent more than 30 years in the Public Service, both at home and abroad before retiring in 1991, and is the only person from Trinidad and Tobago to have been Ambassador to Washington (the country's top diplomatic post) and to the Organization of American States, and Permanent Secretary to the Prime Minister and Head of the Public Service. He has been interim Executive Director of the Institute of Business at the St Augustine campus of the University of the West Indies, and is now a company director and occasional consultant and media commentator. Uniquely among Caribbean writers, Dumas looks at the region and the world as diplomat, public servant and citizen. He ranges over a wide spectrum of crucial contemporary issues such as public sector reform, illegal drug use and the possible impact of the World Trade Organization. He sheds new light on regional affairs such as the 1983 events in Grenada. His views, often acerbic, always penetrating, are certain to stimulate thought.

What role do morality, ethics, and world public opinion play in the international interactions of nations? Accessible and stimulating, A Primer in Power Politics provides important historical context and will teach students how to think analytically about the issues of war and peace. It shows what approaches to peace have failed in the past and explains why they will fail in the future.

The first contemporary work in international politics that addresses power politics, this text is ideal for courses in international relations, United States foreign policy, comparative foreign politics, international conflict, and national security.
