Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “A compelling and provocative read . . . With a soldier’s eye, Jim Lacey re-creates the battle of Marathon in all its brutal simplicity.”—Barry Strauss, author of Masters of Command Marathon—one of history’s most pivotal battles. Its name evokes images of almost superhuman courage, endurance, and fighting spirit. In this eye-opening book, military analyst James Lacey takes a fresh look at Marathon and reveals why the battle happened, how it was fought, and whether, in fact, it saved Western civilization. Lacey brilliantly reconstructs the world of the fifth century B.C. leading up to the astonishing military defeat of the Persian Empire by the vastly undermanned Greek defenders. With the kind of vivid detail that characterizes the best modern war reportage, he shows how the heavily armed Persian army was shocked and demoralized by the relentless assault of the Athenian phalanx. He reveals the fascinating aftermath of Marathon, how its fighters became the equivalent of our “Greatest Generation,” and challenges the legacy and lessons that have often been misunderstood—perhaps, now more than ever, at our own peril. Immediate, visceral, and full of new analyses that defy decades of conventional wisdom, The First Clash is a superb interpretation of a conflict that indeed made the world safe for Aristotle, Plato, and our own modern democracy. “With a fresh eye to tactics, strategy, and military organization, and with his text grounded in direct experience of the troops on the battlefield, James Lacey gives us not only new understanding of how the Athenians managed to win but also a greater appreciation of the beginning of a long tradition of Western military dynamism that we take for granted today.”—Victor Davis Hanson, author of Carnage and Culture “Lacey’s swords-and-shields approach will absorb readers ever fascinated by the famous battles of antiquity.”—Booklist “A lively and rewarding read.”—Charleston Post and Courier “Exemplary . . . Lacey, a veteran of the 82nd and 101st Airborne divisions and a professor at the Marine War College, brings to the tale of Marathon the practical experiences of the combat soldier and an intellectual sensibility.”—The New Criterion

Book Description
"The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 gave the Department of Defense the statutory authority to conduct offensive cyberoperations, subject to the Law of Armed Conflict. Four major types of offensive cyberoperations include destroying data on a network or a system connected to a network, being an active member of a network and generating bogus traffic, clandestinely altering data in a database stored on a network and degrading or denying service on a network. Conducting these operations, as opposed to cyberexploitation, will require military planners to analyze potential actions through the lens of the Law of Armed Conflict's constraint elements of military necessity, proportionality, perfidy, distinction and neutrality. The use of a recognized analytical framework lends legitimacy to actions undertaken by the United States, and shows a continued commitment to recognized rules of international law. Utilizing the present parameters of the existing LOAC framework, parallel legal and historical analogies and reasonable interpretations and applications of those analogies, the United States should legitimately be able to conduct the four types of offensive cyberoperations."--Abstract, page iv.

Book Description
This paper seeks to identify the implications of the President's emerging anticipatory self- defense doctrine for the Department of Defense. Specifically, the paper employs just war theory and strategic military theory to examine decision criteria for preemptive and preventative military actions at the strategic level, while utilizing the ends-ways-means paradigm for strategy analysis. After offering several definitions, the paper explores the theoretical foundations of anticipatory self-defense. A brief survey of historical examples of preventative war, preemptive war and preventative attack sets the stage for analysis. Japan's conquest in the Pacific (1941) illustrates a preventative war that was antithetical to American values and while extreme it identifies the risk that rogue nations, inspired by U.S. policy, will use anticipatory self- defense as an excuse for aggression. The last two examples, the Six-Day War (1967) and the Osirak Raid (1982) manifest preemptive and preventative military operations closer to the spirit of the President's new policy. The paper proposes decision criteria for anticipatory self-defense and identifies three likely preemption types (generic courses of action, or ways"). These types are signaled preemption/prevention, unannounced preemption/prevention, and clandestine preemption/prevention. The paper examines means and offers recommendations for the Department of Defense. Threats and risks are addressed throughout. The paper concludes that decision criteria for anticipatory self- defense possess utility and it recommends the Just War Framework' as a start point for the development of such criteria. While not intended to defend anticipatory self-defense, the paper concludes that there are instances that justify preemption and prevention. This study contributes to a small body of critical thought on America's emerging preemptive strategy. Moreover, it may provide a start point for additional studies on the topic.

Book Description
The importance of military factors in international relations may seem obvious, but the causal linkages are often difficult to define. Surveying a long sweep of history, and the ins and outs of offensive weaponry, George H. Quester offers an overview of how military technology has shaped our international system. Contemporary events have made this book as timely as ever. As Americans renew the debate on mi"ssile defense, and as the danger of nuclear-capable rogue states and their terrorist allies is evident as never before, the need to understand the differences between defensive and offensive weapons has taken on a new urgency. Quester shows that very careful analysis is required here, as some important elementary distinctions need to be drawn. His analysis covers naval and air warfare, as well as ground combat, and he deals with the offensive or defensive leanings of guerrilla warfare. Quester compares the post-World War II nuclear balance with military situations before 1945. Quester also ties in domestic economic, social, political, and scientific trends, and how they influence international politics. Quester considers when a military situation favors striking first in a crisis(an offensive situation), and when a nation may be better off waiting for the other side to begin a war(defensive). In his new introduction, Quester reviews the post-Cold War debate among political and military analysts as to the contemporary relevance of these concepts and offers a powerful rebuttal to those who would dismiss the offense/defense distinction as outmoded, illusory, or a function of propaganda. Above all, the book demonstrates that we can learn a great deal from our recent and not-so-recent historical experience with nuclear weaponry. Nuclear weapons and their proliferation make the area of international conflict more perilous than ever. This book will be of interest to military analysts and students of international affairs. George H. Quester is professor of government and politics at the University of Maryland. His books include Nuclear Monopoly, Deterrence Before Hiroshima (both available from Transaction), Nuclear Diplomacy, The Politics of Nuclear Proliferation, and American Foreign Policy: The Lost Consensus.

Book Description
Sometimes, our loved ones with mental illnesses behave in ways that can be quite scary. Slamming doors. Throwing objects. Screaming threats and obscenities. Threatening us with harm. Threatening to harm themselves. This behavior is usually due to their illness. It is designed to push others away. This is precisely the time when families and other loved ones need a good safety and crisis strategy. Understanding that a good offense is the best defense, our loved ones do what they can to offer safety, even in spite of the fact that it often feels the opposite. "Defensive, NOT Offensive" helps us help our loved ones.

Book Description
In Scorecasting, University of Chicago behavioral economist Tobias Moskowitz teams up with veteran Sports Illustrated writer L. Jon Wertheim to overturn some of the most cherished truisms of sports, and reveal the hidden forces that shape how basketball, baseball, football, and hockey games are played, won and lost. Drawing from Moskowitz's original research, as well as studies from fellow economists such as bestselling author Richard Thaler, the authors look at: the influence home-field advantage has on the outcomes of games in all sports and why it exists; the surprising truth about the universally accepted axiom that defense wins championships; the subtle biases that umpires exhibit in calling balls and strikes in key situations; the unintended consequences of referees' tendencies in every sport to "swallow the whistle," and more. Among the insights that Scorecasting reveals: • Why Tiger Woods is prone to the same mistake in high-pressure putting situations that you and I are • Why professional teams routinely overvalue draft picks • The myth of momentum or the "hot hand" in sports, and why so many fans, coaches, and broadcasters fervently subscribe to it • Why NFL coaches rarely go for a first down on fourth-down situations--even when their reluctance to do so reduces their chances of winning. In an engaging narrative that takes us from the putting greens of Augusta to the grid iron of a small parochial high school in Arkansas, Scorecasting will forever change how you view the game, whatever your favorite sport might be.
