America's Use of Terror: From Colonial Times to the A-Bomb
Stephen Huggins, a retired aerospace executive with a Ph.D. in history, has written an important but seriously flawed book. He examines a series of current definitions of terrorism and then propounds his own: “an act of violence against noncombatants intended to change their political will or support” (p. 11). He concedes that state-directed terrorism has a long history, reaching back to antiquity, as do attempts to protect civilians from the rav…
Harnessing the Airplane: American and British Cavalry Responses to a New Technology, 1903–1939
Lori A. Henning provides an account of the parallel responses of cavalrymen in the United States and Great Britain to the introduction of the airplane in the thirty-plus years between the first flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, in 1903 and the outbreak of World War II in Europe. The popular caricature of cavalrymen in that period was that of devotees of an obsolete arm, reactionaries who never had a new idea. Henning demonstrates that, in fac…
Drawdown: The American Way of Postwar
In Drawdown fourteen authors address the question of ground-force reductions following major wars over the course of American history. The focus is on the regular army as opposed to the national guard or the army reserve, or, for that matter, the U.S. Marine Corps. Most of the authors, including the editor Jason W. Warren, are associated in some fashion with the U.S. Army. Drawdown is, to my knowledge, the first book of its kind to attempt to con…

The Cold War U.S. Army: Building Deterrence for Limited War
Ingo Trauschweizer, a young scholar and a Max Weber Fellow at the European University Institute, has written the most comprehensive, in-depth study available of the U.S. Army during the Cold War. Focusing on the national-strategy level, Trauschweizer argues that the army's role in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (nato) to deter both Soviet conventional and limited nuclear attacks constituted its primary Cold War mission. It was also an unp…
