BILLY MITCHELLS WAR

WITH THE NAVYThe Interwar Rivalry Over Air Power

By Thomas Wildenberg

When Billy Mitchell returned frm WWI, he bruht

with him the deep-seated belief that air pwer had made

naies bslete. Hweer, in the years fllwin WWI,

the U.S. Cnress was far mre interested in disarmamentand islatinist plicies than in fundin natinal defense.

Fr the military serices this meant lean budets and

skeletn peratin frces. Billy Mitchells War with the

Navy recunts the intense plitical strule between the

Army and Nay air arms fr the limited resurces needed

t dene and establish the rle f aiatin within their

respectie serices in the perid between the tw wrld

wars.

After Cnress rejected the cncept f a unied air serice

in 1920, Mitchell and his supprters turned n the Nay,

seekin t substitute the Air Serice as the natins rst

line f defense. While Mitchell pred that aircraft culd

sink a battleship with the bmbin f the Ostrieslandin1921, he was unable t cnince the general Staff f the

Army, the general Bard f the Nay, the Secretary f War,

the Secretary f the Nay, r Cnress f the need fr an

independent air frce. When Mitchell turned t the pen t

discredit the Nay, he was cnicted by his wn wrds and

actins in a curt-martial that captiated the natin, and was

frced t resin in 1925.

Rather than endin the rialry fr air pwer, Mitchells

resinatin set the stae fr the nin dispute between the

tw serices in the years immediately befre WWII. After

Mitchells resinatin, the rialry fr air pwer between the

tw serices resurfaced when the Nays plans t prcuretrped planes fr the defense f Pearl Harbr and Cc

Sl were bruht t the attentin f the Army. The bk

cncludes with a descriptin f the eents surrundin

the Air Crps, abysmal perfrmance at Pearl Harbr and

Midway fllwed by a critical assessment f hw the

deelpment f aiatin was pursued by the Army and the

Nay after WWII.

Thomas Wildenberg is an independent histrian/schlarspecializin in the deelpment f naal aiatin and lis-

durin the interwar perid. His articles hae appeared in

ANTI-ACCESS WARFARECountering A2/AD Strategies

By Sam J. Tangredi

This is the rst bk t examine the cncept f anti-

access and area denial warfare, pridin a denitie

intrductin t bth cnceptual theries and histrical

examples f this stratey. Als referred t by the acrnym

A2/AD, anti-access warfare has been identied inAmerican strateic plannin as the mst likely stratey

t be emplyed by the Peples Republic f China r by

the Islamic Republic f Iran in any future cnict with

the United States. While preius studies f the subject

hae emphasized the effects n the jint frce and, air

frces in particular, this imprtant new study adances the

understandin f sea pwer by identifyin the naal rts

f the deelpment f the anti-access cncept. Rather

than aruin aainst the reliance n maritime frces

presumably because they are n lner suriable

Tanredi maintains that histry arues that maritime

capabilities are key t cunterin anti-access peratins.

The study f anti-access r area denial strateies fr

use aainst American pwer prjectin capabilities has

strn naal rtswhich hae been larely inred by

the mst inuential cmmentatrs. Sustained ln-rane

pwer prjectin is bth a unique strenth f U.S. military

frces and a requirement fr an actiist frein plicy

and frward defense. In mre recent years, the lic

f the anti-access apprach has been identied by the

Department f Defense as a threat t this U.S. capability

and the jint frce.

The cnclusins inAnti-Access Warare differ frmmst cmmentary n anti-access stratey. Rather than

a technly-drien pst-Cld War phenmenn, the

anti-access apprach has been a rutine element f rand

stratey used by strateically weaker pwers t cnfrnt

strner pwers thruhut histry. But they hae

been larely unsuccessful when cnfrntin a strner

maritime pwer. Althuh hih technly weapns

capabilities enhance the threat, they als can be used t

mitiate the threat. Rather than aruin aainst reliance

n maritime frcespresumably because they are n

lner suriablethe histrical analysis arues that

maritime capabilities are key in breakin the reat walls

f cuntries like Iran and China.

ASIAN MARITIME STRATEGIESNavigating Troubled Waters

By Bernard D. Cole

Asian Maritime Strategies explres ne f the wrlds mst

cmplex and danerus maritime arenas. Asia, stretchin

frm the Aleutian Islands t the Persian gulf, cntains the

wrlds busiest trade rutes. It is als the scene f numerus

maritime territrial disputes, pirate attacks, and terrristthreats. In respnse, the natins f the rein are enaed in

a nascent naal arms race. In this new wrk, Bernard Cle,

authr f the acclaimed The Great Wall At Sea, examines

the maritime strateies and naal frces f the reins

natins, as well as ealuatin the threats and pprtunities

fr cperatin at sea. The United States Nay is intimately

inled in these disputes and pprtunities, which threaten

ital American ecnmic, plitical, and security interests.

The mst useful eraphical desinatin fr maritime

Asia is the Ind-Pacic and Cle prides bth a surey

f the maritime strateies f the primary natins f the

Ind-Pacic rein as well as an ealuatin f the dmestic

and internatinal plitics that drie thse strateies. The

United States, Canada, Russia, Japan, Nrth Krea, Suth

Krea, China, the Philippines, Brunei, Indnesia, vietnam,

Sinapre, Malaysia, Myanmar, India, Pakistan, Iran, the

smaller Indian ocean and Persian gulf states are all sureyed

and analyzed. The United States, Japan, China, and India

draw the mst attentin, ien their lare mdern naies

and distant strateic reach and the authr cncludes that

the United States remains the dminant maritime pwer in

this hue rein, despite its lack f a traditinally strn

merchant marine. U.S. maritime pwer remains paramunt,

due primarily t its dminant nay. The Chinese naal

mdernizatin prram deseredly receies a d deal f

public attentin, but Cle arues that n a day-t-day basisthe Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Frce, as its nay is

named, is the mst pwerful maritime frce in Far Eastern

waters, while the mdernizin Indian Nay ptentially

dminates the Indian ocean.

Mst tellin will be whether United States pwer and fcus

remain n the rein, while adjustin t cntinued Chinese

maritime pwer in a way acceptable t bth natins. N ther

current r recent wrk prides such a cmplete descriptin

f the Ind-Pacic reins naies and maritime strateies,

NOMONHAN, 1939The Red Armys Victory That Shaped World War II

By Stuart D. Goldman

Stuart gldman cnincinly arues that a little-knwn,

but intense Siet-Japanese cnict aln the Manchurian-

Mnlian frntier at Nmnhan inuenced the utbreak f

Wrld War II and shaped the curse f the war. The authr

draws n Japanese, Siet, and western surces t put the

seeminly bscure cnictactually a small undeclared

warint its prper lbal e-strateic perspectie.

Nomonhan, 1939 describes hw the Siets, in respnse t

a brder cnict prked by Japan, launched an ffensie

in Auust 1939 that wiped ut the Japanese frces at

Nmnhan. At the same time, Stalin sined the german-

Siet Nnaressin Pact, allwin Hitler t inade Pland.

The timin f these military and diplmatic strikes was

nt cincidental, accrdin t the authr. In frmin an

alliance with Hitler that left Tky diplmatically islated,

Stalin succeeded in aidin a tw-frnt war. He saw the

pact with the Nazis as a way t pit germany aainst Britain

and France, leain the Siet Unin n the sidelines teentually pick up the spils frm the Eurpean cnict,

while at the same time iin him a free hand t smash the

Japanese at Nmnhan.

gldman nt nly demnstrates the linkae between the

Nmnhan cnict, the german-Siet Nnaressin

Pact, and the utbreak f Wrld War II, but als shws hw

Nmnhan inuenced Japans decisin t t war with

the United States and thus chane the curse f histry.

The bk details gen. gery Zhuks brilliant ictry at

Nmnhan that led t his cmmand f the Red Army in 1941

and his success in stppin the germans at Mscw with

reinfrcements frm the Siet Far East. Such a strateywas pssible, the authr cntends, nly because f Japans

decisin nt t attack the Siet Far East but t seize the

il-rich Dutch East Indies and attack Pearl Harbr instead.

gldman credits Tsuji Masanbu, an inuential Japanese

fcer wh instiated the Nmnhan cnict and suried

the debacle, with urin his superirs nt t take n the

Siets aain in 1941, but instead t t war with the

United States.

THE LIBERTY INCIDENT REVEALEDThe Denitive Account of the 1967 Israeli Attack onthe U.S. Navy Spy Ship

By A Jay Cristol

The Liberty Incident Revealedis the cmplete and nal

stry abut the Israeli Air Frce and Nay attack n the

USSLiberty durin the Six Day War in June 1967. Cuttin

thruh all f the cntrersy and cnspiracy theries abut

Israels deadly attack, Cristl reises his well-rearded bk

abut the eent with an expanded and in-depth analysis f all

f the surces, includin the released tapes f the Natinal

Security Aency (NSA) intercepts.

When Cristls rst bk n the subject, The Liberty

Incident, was published in 2002, there remained many

unanswered questins abut Israeli Air Frce audi tapes.

The NSA intercepts tapes had nt yet been released in 2002.

Sme cnspiracy therists alleed the NSA tapes wuld

pre that the Israeli attack was premeditated. Cristls

successful Freedm f Infrmatin Act lawsuit aainst the

NSA, while resultin in the release f thse tapes, has been

reeted by anti-Israel surces insistin that the NSA tapes arefraudulent and are part f a larer cnspiracy t deceie the

American public.

After a quarter f a century f intensie research in bth Israel

and the U.S., researchin all releant archies frm NSA, CIA

and the State Department, reiewin bth frmerly classied

and pen surce dcuments, and interiewin all then-liin

indiiduals directly inled in the incident, the factual and

dcumentary recrd is clear. Cristl maintains that despite

the fact that all f the fcial recrds and transcripts are nw

aailable fr reiew, the truth has pren t be f n interest

t thse indiiduals and ranizatins wh are mtiated by

hidden aendas, wish t keep cnspiracy theries alie, r aretryin t feed sensatinal stries t the media. Dcumentin

his ndins in six new chapters, Cristl establishes denitiely

that the Israeli attack was a traic mistake and presents a

cnincin arument that will be rearded as the nal chapter

in the ln-simmerin debate abut this incident.

Capt. A Jay Cristol, USN (Ret.) JD, PhD, entered the U.S.Nay as an aiatin cadet in Nember 1951. As a naal aia-

THE SECRET WAR FOR THE

MIDDLE EASTThe Inuence of Axis and Allied IntelligenceOperations during World War II

By Youssef H. Aboul-Enein and Basil Aboul-Enein

Althuh ften erlked in studies f Wrld War II, the

Middle East was actually a key theater fr the Allies n many

leels. Thuh the threat f direct Axis inasin by RmmelsAfrika Crps neer materialized beynd the Eyptian Western

Desert, this did nt limit the Axis frm prbin the Middle East

and cultiatin ptential cllabratrs and sympathizers frm

Eypt, Iraq and Syria t Persia and Afhanistan. The Secret

War or the Middle Eastexplres the infusin f the plitical

lanuae f anti-Semitism, natinalism, fascism, and Marxism

that were amn the idelical byprducts f Axis and Allied

interentin in the Arab wrld. The status f the British-

dminated Middle East was tailr-made fr explitatin by Axis

intellience and prpaanda. german and Italian intellience

effrts fueled anti-British resentments; their inuence shaped

the curse f Arab natinalist sentiments thruhut the Middle

East. These actins left an indelible mark n the sci-pliticalelutin f the mdern states f the Middle East and their

effects cntinue t be felt tday.

A releant parallel t the pan-Arab cause was Hitlers

attempt t brin ethnic germans int the fld f a reater

german state. In thery, as the Sudeten german std n par

with the Carpathian german, s t, accrdin t dctrinal

thery and prpaandizin, did the Yemeni stand in unin

Arabism. As an explratin f histry demnstrates, this ery

cmmnality pred t be a majr factr in the deelpment

f relatins between Arab and Fascist leaders. The Arab

natinalist mement amunted t little mre than a shapeless,
