Book Description
Excerpt from The Problem of National Defence No, comes the answer; for, unfortunately, human nature is in its very essence wicked; and men of criminal tendencies must be suppressed by force in the interests of the community. Then, are there never nations with criminal tendencies? Should not a virtuous nation, like a virtuous man, take steps to guard itself? There is, again, another section of the community which considers that though virtue must in the end prosper, that yet the ways of Providence are in scrutable, that the wicked are sometimes permitted to triumph, that modern man, living in a world in which self seeking and lack of scruple are not entirely unknown, must adopt measures to safeguard himself and his possessions by means of a police force, and that nations must act in a similar manner. These deny the justice of an aggressive war, but admit the justification for a defensive one. There are yet others - though in Great Britain these are in a minority - who boldly assert that fraud and force dominate humanity, and that the wicked and unscrupulous usually triumph. These are inclined to laugh at national scruples. They point out that every nation which goes to war claims to have the right of it, and that controversy rages over the rights and wrongs of it sometimes for centuries after the war has terminated. These will cry out, first win your war, and then discuss the ethics of it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Making Strategy

Book Description
National secuirty strategy is a vast subject involving a daunting array of interrelated subelements woven in intricate, sometimes vague, and ever-changing patterns. Its processes are often irregular and confusing and are always based on difficult decisions laden with serious risks. In short, it is a subject understood by few and confusing to most. It is, at the same time, a subject of overwhelming importance to the fate of the United States and civilization itself. Col. Dennis M. Drew and Dr. Donald M. Snow have done a considerable service by drawing together many of the diverse threads of national security strategy into a coherent whole. They consider political and military strategy elements as part of a larger decisionmaking process influenced by economic, technological, cultural, and historical factors. I know of no other recent volume that addresses the entire national security milieu in such a logical manner and yet also manages to address current concerns so thoroughly. It is equally remarkable that they have addressed so many contentious problems in such an evenhanded manner. Although the title suggests that this is an introductory volume - and it is - I am convinced that experienced practitioners in the field of national security strategy would benefit greatly from a close examination of this excellent book.
