U.S. Conduct in the Vietnam War: Commentaries on Bernd Greiner's War without Fronts
Three leading experts on the Vietnam War and U.S. foreign policy offer separate evaluations of Bernd Greiner's book War without Fronts: The USA in Vietnam. The book presents a harsh and controversial appraisal of the conduct of U.S. troops in Vietnam, depicting the My Lai massacre not as an aberration but as one of a long series of atrocities committed by U.S. personnel. The three commentators diverge in their assessments of the book. Andrew Bace…

The Irony of American History
"Composed during the postwar years when America came of age as a world power, The Irony of American History is as relevant as ever today. Niebuhr's masterpiece on the incongruity between personal ideals and political reality is both an indictment of American moral complacency and a warning against the arrogance of virtue. Impassioned and eloquent, his wisdom encourages us to rethink our assumptions about right and wrong, war and peace." -- Book c…

Israel's revolution in security affairs
For the half century of its existence as an independent yet besieged state, Israel has had a coherent and generally effective national-security doctrine, predicated upon the existence of a mass, reserve-based army, and an offensive operational style. Despite a well-deserved reputation for innovativeness in the tools and techniques of war, the Israeli defence establishment has generally been conservative in its outlook, preferring aggressive incre…

Family Matters: American Civilian and Military Elites in the Progressive Era
Progressivism, Professionalism, and Reform
Careerism is a phenomenon which most officers deplore. Indeed, the majority would argue that the careerist's inordinate personal ambition has no place in our profession. Yet despite such disapproval, military careerism continues to thrive-a situation which the officer corps today accepts with startling equanimity. 1 Periodic revelations such as the recent embarrassing recruiting irregularities make it impossible for us to close our eyes altogethe…
The American Electoral Mission in Nicaragua, 1927?28
Through much of this century the Caribbean basin's chronic turbulence, coupled with its strategic and economic importance, have prompted the United States to assert broad claims of American hegemony within the region. While the methods employed to maintain American predominance and the rhetoric devised to justify it have varied, the results have remained uniform. To establish an order congenial to its own interests, the United States repeatedly h…

New Rules: Modern War and Military Professionalism
Once again, as in Fuller's day, these are disorienting times for soldiers. Recent events have torn history from its moorings, sweeping aside the constants that have defined our world since 1945. The usual hucksters grope about -- to little avail thus far -- to explain the implications of titanic changes now under way. Amidst the prognostications of self-anointed seers, Fuller's quaint metaphor provides as good an azimuth as any: the old rules no …
