Soviet Intervention in the War with Japan
considerable attention from politicians and publicists as well as scholars, and the subject continues to hold great interest for a wider audience than is ordinarily available to the academician. The reasons for this interest are not hard to find. They stem, in part, from the controversies aroused by the Yalta Agreement and the decision to use the atomic bomb in 1945. But more funda mentally they reflect a concern over the mounting tensions of the…
From Fort Sumter to Poland: The Question of War Guilt
It is now more than a hundred years since the first shot was fired at Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor, precipitating four years of terrible conflict.

Historia Mentem Armet: Lessons of the Past
It is a distressing paradox of our time, when we are concerned as never before with military problems on whose solution may depend our national existence and even the survival of civilization, that we should turn our backs on history and deny that the lessons of the past have any validity for the present.There are many reasons for this. The problems we face are enormously complex and highly technical; the weapons on which we must rely and which t…
The Decision to Use the Atomic Bomb
IT is now more than ten years since the atomic bomb exploded over Hiro shima and revealed to the world in one blinding flash of light the start of the atomic age. As the meaning of this explosion and the nature of the force unleashed became apparent, a chorus of voices rose in protest against the decision that had opened the Pandora's box of atomic warfare. The justification for using the atomic bomb was that it had ended the war, or at least end…

military disasters of modern times are as sparsely documented or inadequately recorded in the official records as the defeat of America's forces in the Philippines in the first 6 months of World War II. Cut off from the United States almost immediately and encircled by a tightening blockade, the Philippine garrison soon became the only island of resistance in the rising tide of Japanese victory. Its sole remaining means of communication with the …
