E902 .M345 2004 - Part II: The Creation of Military Strategy
- Clausewitz, Carl von. "On War" (Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2008) [*E-Book]On War is the most significant attempt in Western history to understand war, both in its internal dynamics and as an instrument of policy. Since the work's first appearance in 1832, it has been read throughout the world, and has stimulated generations of soldiers, statesmen, and intellectuals.
- Freedman, Lawrence. "Strategy: A History," (Oxford/New York: Oxford University Press, 2013) [* E-Book]In Strategy: A History is a work on the vast history of strategic thinking, in this consistently insightful account of how strategy came to pervade every aspect of our lives. The narrative moves from the surprisingly advanced strategy practiced in primate groups, to the opposing strategies of Achilles and Odysseus in The Iliad, the strategic advice of Sun Tzu and Machiavelli, the great military innovations of Baron Henri de Jomini and Carl von Clausewit.
- Jervis, Robert. "How Statesmen Think," (Princeton, N.J.: Princeton University Press, 2017) [* E-Book]How Statesmen Think demonstrates that expectations and political and psychological needs are the major drivers of perceptions in international politics, as well as in other arenas. Drawing on the increasing attention psychology is paying to emotions, the book discusses how emotional needs help structure beliefs. It also shows how decision-makers use multiple shortcuts to seek and process information when making foreign policy and national security judgments. This book also examines how these processes play out in many situations that arise in foreign and security policy, including the threat of inadvertent war, the development of domino beliefs, the formation and role of national identities, and conflicts between intelligence organizations and policymakers.
- Paret, Peter, et al. "Makers of Modern Strategy: From Machiavelli to the Nuclear Age," (Princeton N.J.: Princeton University, 1986) [* E-Book]This text discusses Machiavelli, Maurice of Nassau, Gustavus Adolphus, Raimondo Montecuccoli, Vauban, Frederick the Great, Guibert, Bulow, Napoleon, Jomini, Clausewitz, Adam Smith, Alexander Hamilton, Friedrich List, Engels, Marx, Moltke, Schlieffen, Delbruck, Bugeaud, Gallieni, Lyautey, Alfred Thayer Mahan, Liddell Hart, De Gaulle, and other military strategists.
- Jervis, Robert. "Perception and Misperception in International Politics," (Princeton, N.J.: Princeton University Press, 2017) [* E-Book]This study of perception and misperception in foreign policy was a landmark in the application of cognitive psychology to political decision making. The perspective established by Jervis remains an important counterpoint to structural explanations of international politics, and from it has developed a large literature on the psychology of leaders and the problems of decision making under conditions of incomplete information, stress, and cognitive bias. Finally, he tests his ideas through a number of important events in international relations from nineteenth- and twentieth-century European history.
- Gray, Colin. "The Strategy Bridge: Theory for Practice." (Oxford/London: Oxford University Press, 2010) [* E-Book]The book presents the general theory of strategy comprehensively and explains the utility of this general theory for the particular strategies that strategists need to develop in order to meet their historically unique challenges. The book argues that strategy's general theory provides essential education for practicing strategists at all times and in all circumstances.

- George, Roger Z. and Harvey Rishikof, eds. "The National Security Enterprise: Navigating the Labyrinth," (Washington, D.C.: Georgetown University Press, 2017) [* E-Book]The National Security Enterprise provides practitioners' insights into the operation, missions, and organizational cultures of the principal national security agencies and other significant institutions that shape the US national security decision-making process. Unlike some textbooks on American foreign policy, this book provides analysis from insiders who have worked at the National Security Council, the State Department, Department of Defense, the intelligence community, and the other critical entities included in the book. The book explains how organizational missions and cultures create the labyrinth in which a coherent national security policy must be fashioned. Understanding and appreciating these organizations and their cultures is essential for formulating and implementing coherent policies. This second edition includes four new chapters (Congress, DHS, Treasury, and USAID) and updates to the text throughout. It covers the many changes instituted by the Obama administration, implications of the government campaign to prosecute leaks, and lessons learned from more than a decade of war in Afghanistan and Iraq.

- Mearsheimer, J.J. "The Tragedy of Great Power Politics," (New York: W.W. Norton & Company, 2014) [* Print Book]The anarchy of the international system requires states to seek dominance at one another's expense, dooming even peaceful nations to a relentless power struggle. The best survival strategy is to become a regional hegemon and to make sure that no other hegemon emerges elsewhere. It is predicted that China will attempt to dominate Asia while the US will be determined to remain the world's sole regional hegemon. The tragedy of great power politics is inescapable.
- Buzan, Barry and Eric Herring. "The Arms Dynamic in World Politics," (Boulder, CO: Lynne Reinner Publishers, 2022)What is the relationship between the arms dynamic and world politics? How has that relationship changed? Considering the entire set of factors that influence the nature of armed forces, this comprehensive book puts these essential questions into historical and analytical perspective.ILL
- The United States and Papua New Guinea Sign New Defense Cooperation Agreement and an Agreement Concerning Counter Illicit Transnational Maritime Activity OperationsOn May 22, 2023, the United States and Papua New Guinea concluded a Defense Cooperation Agreement (DCA) and an Agreement Concerning Counter Illicit Transnational Maritime Activity Operations.
This DCA represents a natural progression in our decades of defense cooperation with Papua New Guinea. The agreement will modernize our security relationship and replace an outdated Status of Forces Agreement and Memorandum of Understanding regarding defense cooperation. The U.S.-PNG DCA will form the foundational framework around which our two countries will enhance security cooperation, further strengthen our bilateral relationship, improve the capacity of the PNG Defence Force, and increase stability and security in the region. - U.S. Security Cooperation With The PhilippinesAn irreplaceable U.S. ally for seven decades, the Philippines has long been at the forefront of preserving the free and open regional order in Southeast Asia and the greater Indo-Pacific region. The Mutual Defense Treaty (MDT) between the Republic of the Philippines and the United States of America, signed in 1951, serves as a foundation for the close security cooperation between the two countries. Seventy-two years after its signing, the alliance continues to thrive in the ever-evolving security environment that surrounds the Philippines. The United States and the Philippines maintain close security ties and frequently conduct joint military exercises to enhance interoperability.
- U.S. Security Assistance to Ukraine - CRS ReportThe United States has been a leading provider of security
assistance to Ukraine, particularly since Russia launched its
renewed and expanded invasion of Ukraine on February 24,
2022. From 2014, when Russia first invaded Ukraine,
through December 27, 2023, the United States committed
more than $47 billion in security assistance to support
“Ukraine’s efforts to defend itself against Russia’s
aggression, secure its borders, and improve interoperability
with NATO,” according to the U.S. Department of State. Of
