Pussycats
Wargames
Where did wargames come from? Who participated in them, and why? How is their development related to changes in real-life warfare? Which aspects of war did they capture, which ones did they leave out, how, and why? What do they tell us about the conduct of war in the times and places where they were played? How useful are they in training and preparation for war? Why are some so much more popular than others, and how do men and women differ in th…
Modern Military History
As the editors say in the introduction, military history has often been looked down upon by academia, which sees it partly as antiquarianism and partly as suited only for boys who refuse to grow up. Too often, too, the cardinal role that war plays in history is ignored; if only for that reason, any effort to correct this situation, such as the present one, is welcome. Most of the authors who have written the various essays in this volume are rela…

The Fate of the State Revisited
The State, which during the three and a half centuries since the Treaty of Westphalia (1648) has been the most important and the most characteristic of all modern institutions, appears to be declining or dying. In many places, existing states are either combining into larger communities or falling apart; in many places, organizations that are not states are challenging them by means fair or foul. On the international level, we seem to be moving a…
The Nation-State in Question
The Nation-State in Question. Edited by T. V. Paul, G. John Ikenberry, and John Hall. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2003. 400p. $60.00 cloth, $22.95 paper. As John A. Hall notes in the introduction, many authors (including the present writer) writing in the 1990s questioned the future of the nation-state, which, to them, was coming under attack both from above—at the hand of global economic forces—and from below, at the hand of various n…

The Transformation of War Revisited
As the title indicates, the purpose of the analysis is to revisit the main theses of The Transformation of War a little more than decade after it was published. The first section provides a brief recapitulation of the processes which, especially in view of 9–11, have caused large scale interstate warfare to go down and ‘non-trinitarian’ warfare to go up. The second takes an equally brief look at the most important problem that The Transformation …
Armed But Not Dangerous
Over the years, the fact that Israel has been the only country in history to conscript women for military service has given rise to many myths. This article will separate those myths from the facts. The facts are as follows. During pre-state days, women formed about 15% of the armed movements that opposed the British. When the War of Independence broke out, however, women were taken out of combat units. They were never allowed to return; instead,…
The Great Illusion
In the hands of feminists, the thirty-year long influx of women into the militaries of advanced countries is usually presented as a ‘gain’ or ‘victory’ for the members of the female sex, one part of womankind’s unstoppable march from the dark recesses of subjection to the glories of freedom. In this paper I do not intend to address the question as to whether women’s joining in what Lord Byron called ‘the brain splattering, windpipe-slashing, art’…
Less than we can be
From the beginning of history, war has been an almost exclusively male affair and those who took part in it were often extolled as the most manliest of men. The recent feminization of the armed forces of many developed countries does not prove that women's liberation is making progress, as most people believe. Rather, it is part symptom, part cause, of the decline of those forces. Other things being equal, the fewer and less important the wars fo…
The New Middle Ages
The Rise and Decline of the State
The state, which since the middle of the seventeenth century has been the most important and most characteristic of all modern institutions, is in decline. From Western Europe to Africa, many existing states are either combining into larger communities or falling apart. Many of their functions are being taken over by a variety of organizations which, whatever their precise nature, are not states. In this unique volume Martin van Creveld traces th…
The Sword and the Olive
Combining razor-sharp analysis with dramatic narrative, vivid portraits of soldiers and commanders with illuminating discussions of battle tactics and covert actions, The Sword and the Olive traces the history of the IDF from its beginnings in Palestine to today. The book also goes beyond chronology to wrestle with the political and ethical struggles that have shaped the IDF and the country it serves--struggles that are manifesting themselves in …

The Fate of the State
The State, which since the Treaty of Westphalia (1648) has been the most important and most characteristic of all modern institutions, is dying. Wherever we look, existing states are either combining into larger communities or falling apart; wherever we look, organizations that are not states are taking their place. On the international level, we are moving away from a system of separate, sovereign, states toward less distinct, more hierarchical,…

Nuclear Proliferation and the Future of Conflict
The Rise and Fall of Military Technology
The Argument This paper is divided into four parts. Part I is a conventional, if necessarily very brief description of the way in which military technology and armed force reinforced each other from about 1500 until 1945. Part II examines the period between 1945 and the present; it argues that what most people saw as unprece-dentedly rapid military-technological progress did in fact constitute the onset of overkill and degeneration. Part III expl…
