Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Principles of War Shepherds' fires, lit on a stormy coast, to guide the uncertain seaman these lines might well be applied to the following pages. They were written for young officers. The reader must not look to find in them a complete, a methodical, still less an academic account of the art of war, but rather a mere discussion of certain fundamental points in the conduct of troops, and above all the direction which the mind must be given so that it may in every circumstance conceive a manoeuvre at least rational. If it prove useful in this respect, by enlightening the reader, or by giving him a sound direction, this book will have fulfilled its purpose. When young officers Jom their regiments and propose to study the conduct of troops in the field, they hear talk of certain principles which govern war. They attempt in vain to discover those guiding principles; they cannot find them either in what they have been previously taught, or in the reading of military works. Principles, they are told, are a matter of common sense, of judgment; their application varies according to circumstance; they cannot be written down or learned. When the moment comes for exercise on varied ground and for the autumn manoeuvres, they hear their senior officers criticise in the name of these same principles the tactics adopted. It then appears that though their elders know these famous principles, they often apply them wrongly. It is yet another example of the great gulf between the knowledge of a truth and its use in practice. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Capital W War written by Joe Strange and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-10-04 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Capital "W" War: A Case for Strategic Principles of War (Because Wars Are Conflicts of Societies, Not Tactical Exercises Writ Large) With this publication, the Marine Corps University offers its sixth work in the Perspectives on Warfighting series. In this edition, Dr. Joe Strange from the Marine Corps War College builds on his previous discussion on centers of gravity and critical vulnerabilities. In Capital W War A Case for Strategic Principles of War he addresses the importance of strategic imperatives, or principles, that spring from an understanding of war as a struggle between societies. In that context, he stresses the critical importance of making sound strategic decisions and correctly points out that failure to make those sound decisions seriously handicaps actions at the operational and tactical levels of war. He makes heavy use of both Sun Tzu and Clausewitz with his admonitions to gather and carefully analyze as much (moral and physical) information as possible before entering a conflict. Among his principles of capital W war are: know your enemy, yourself and your allies; determine the nature of the conflict; identify enemy and friendly centers of gravity and critical vulnerabilities; and the criticality (and risk) of assumptions. He goes on to illustrate these principles through well developed case studies on Japanese thinking regarding the attack on Pearl Harbor, the concepts of legitimacy and the credible capacity to coerce in counterinsurgency warfare, and General Zinni's operations in Somalia. Dr. Strange's discussion of capital W war strategic principles makes a significant contribution toward our under standing of why some historical decisions were correct while others led to disaster.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Guild Principles in War and Peace My acknowledgment are due to the Editors of the Contemporary Review, the Herald of the Star, and the New Age, for permission to republish these essays. Although apparently unrelated, with some consequential redundancies, they present, I think, a reasonably consecutive statement of the arguments and considerations that have impelled me to advocate the abolition of the wage-system and the formation of National Guilds. The largest section of this book, the "Permanent Hypothesis," is in part a critique of the Garton Reconstruction proposals and in part an experiment in the application of Guild principles to immediate problems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Direction of War: A Study of Strategy The exact conditions in which any campaign was fought are unlikely to be repeated, and reliance on the experiences of one war is therefore liable to lead to false conceptions. In this volume the object, therefore, has been to illustrate the application of principles by examples taken both from recent and more remote wars. While operations on land have primarily been considered, the. Influence of sea and air power on these operations has also been examined; and since past British experience is likely to be most instructive as regards future British campaigns, the examples quoted have been drawn from British rather than from foreign wars.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War: Its Causes and Consequences The age is revolutionary. The present is an epoch in the world's history of transition - a sort of moral exodus of the nations - which has lasted now some three centuries; and no stability in governments anywhere, much less here, can be looked for until the passage from the old regime to the new has been completed. To a close observer, the social ebullition in this coun try has long been of a threatening character. From the birth of our government, its elements have been in an uneasy state; and the bosom of society has more than once been agitated by the throes of coming convulsions. The time has arrived for these inevitable disturbances, so long concealed, to manifest their dangerous activity. An open rupture is at last reached; and however it may be allayed temporarily, will be again and again renewed until the foundations of society are broken up, or the principles which now lie at its base are extruded, or so modified by the introduction of others that their excesses will be entirely counteracted.
