Bloomsbury Publishing PLC The Athenian Army 507322 BC
Book SynopsisThis fully illustrated study explores the formidable Athenian army, rivalled only by the Spartan army in terms of battlefield prowess and influence.In 508 BC, the reforms of Kleisthenes established the ten tribes of Athens, inaugurating a system of military organization that remained in place for nearly 200 years until Athens' eclipse by the growing power of Macedon in the early 3rd century BC. Fully illustrated, this lively study investigates the development and effectiveness of the armies fielded by Athens during its many wars with its Greek neighbours, notably Sparta, and other opponents such as the Persian Empire. A variety of different troop types made up these armies, ranging from formidably armed and armoured hoplite heavy infantry to lightly armed archers, peltasts and cavalry.In this book, Athens' major wars and battles of the period are summarized, and important aspects contributing to the Athenian army's battlefield prowess, influence and legacy, ranging from mobilization and training to the evolution of arms and armour, are examined in the light of the latest scholarship and archaeological finds. The eight colour plates reconstruct the appearance of components of the Athenian army at various stages of its development. The authoritative text is complemented by carefully chosen photographs, many in colour, depicting a variety of surviving artefacts, supported by informative captions.

Georgetown University Press Information in War: Military Innovation, Battle
Book SynopsisAn in-depth assessment of innovations in military information technology informs hypothetical outcomes for artificial intelligence adaptations In the coming decades, artificial intelligence (AI) could revolutionize the way humans wage war. The military organizations that best innovate and adapt to this AI revolution will likely gain significant advantages over their rivals. To this end, great powers such as the United States, China, and Russia are already investing in novel sensing, reasoning, and learning technologies that will alter how militaries plan and fight. The resulting transformation could fundamentally change the character of war. In Information in War, Benjamin Jensen, Christopher Whyte, and Scott Cuomo provide a deeper understanding of the AI revolution by exploring the relationship between information, organizational dynamics, and military power. The authors analyze how militaries adjust to new information communication technology historically to identify opportunities, risks, and obstacles that will almost certainly confront modern defense organizations as they pursue AI pathways to the future. Information in War builds on these historical cases to frame four alternative future scenarios exploring what the AI revolution could look like in the US military by 2040.Trade ReviewJensen, Whyte, and Cuomo’s thought-provoking book is less about the promise of the military uses of AI and more about why that promise may not be realized. * Foreign Affairs *The authors, coming from different institutional backgrounds, have written a short book that is more than the sum of its parts. * Choice *Table of ContentsList of IllustrationsPreface1.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC T90 Standard Tank
Book SynopsisA highly illustrated study of the T-90, the backbone of the armoured units of Putin''s Russia.In the wake of the T-72 tank's poor performance in the 1991 Gulf War, the Kremlin instructed the Russian tank industry to drop the discredited T-72 designation in favour of the T-90 Vladimir. The T-90 was in fact a further evolution of the T-72 family, but the name change represented an important break in Russian/Soviet tank design history.The T-90 has become the principal export tank of Russia, and is in service in large numbers in many countries including Algeria, India, and many of the former Soviet republics. Using detailed illustrations and full colour artwork, this book also describes the evolution of the T-90''s many failed successors including the little known Bokser, Molot, and T-95, as well as its likely successor, the new T-14 Armata, and the wide range of specialized vehicles based on the T-90 chassis such as the formidable Terminator tank support vehicle.

Random House USA Inc Roll ME over An Infantrymans World War II
Book SynopsisOVER THEREWhen Raymond Gantter arrived in Normandy in the fall of 1944, bodies were still washing up from the invasion. Sobered by that sight, Gantter and his fellow infantrymen moved across northern France and Belgium, taking part in the historic and bloody Battle of the Bulge, before slowly penetrating into and across Germany, fighting all the way to the Czechoslovakian border.With depth, clarity, and remarkable compassion, Gantter--an enlisted man and college graduate who spoke German--portrays the extraordinary life of the American soldier as he and his comrades lived it while helping to destroy Hitler's Third Reich. From dueling with unseen snipers in ruined villages to fierce battles in which the lightly armed American infantry skirmished against Hitler's panzers, Gantter skillfully captures one infantryman's progress across a continent where guns, fear, and death lay in wait around every bend in the road.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Athenian Hoplite vs Spartan Hoplite
Book SynopsisThe Peloponnesian War (431404 BC), waged between Athens and Sparta and their respective allies, involved some of the most important developments in ancient warfare. A life-and-death struggle between the two most powerful Greek city-states in the wake of their combined successes against the Persian invasion of Xerxes in 480479 BC, the conflict dragged in communities from all over the Greek world on one side or the other. Ranging from the Black Sea to Sicily, the war saw the first recorded widespread use of light-armed troops, reserves, the deep phalanx, and other ideas important for the development of Western warfare into the 4th century BC, such as strategic thinking. It also revealed lessons (some learned and some not) with respect to the strengths and weaknesses of hoplite warfare and the various states in Greece. Featuring full-color artwork and drawing upon an array of sources, this study of three pivotal clashes between Spartan and Athenian hoplite forces during the Peloponnesian Table of ContentsIntroduction The Opposing Sides Sphacteria, 425 BC Amphipolis, 422 BC Mantinea, 418 BC Analysis Aftermath Bibliography Index

Manchester University Press Cyber-Espionage in International Law: Silence
Book SynopsisWhile espionage between states is a practice dating back centuries, the emergence of the internet revolutionised the types and scale of intelligence activities, creating drastic new challenges for the traditional legal frameworks governing them.This book argues that cyber-espionage has come to have an uneasy status in law: it is not prohibited, because spying does not result in an internationally wrongful act, but neither is it authorised or permitted, because states are free to resist foreign cyber-espionage activities. Rather than seeking further regulation, however, governments have remained purposefully silent, leaving them free to pursue cyber-espionage themselves at the same time as they adopt measures to prevent falling victim to it.Drawing on detailed analysis of state practice and examples from sovereignty, diplomacy, human rights and economic law, this book offers a comprehensive overview of the current legal status of cyber-espionage, as well as future directions for research and policy. It is an essential resource for scholars and practitioners in international law, as well as anyone interested in the future of cyber-security.Table of ContentsPart I: IntroductionIntroduction to Part I1 Main notions1.1 The concept of ‘cyber-espionage’1.2 The concept of ‘cyber-space’2 Methodological and conceptual frameworks2.1 The determination of law2.1.1 The approach to treaty interpretation2.1.2 The approach to sources2.2 The concept of normative avoidance2.2.1 Definition2.2.2 NoveltyPart II: The rules connected to territorial integrityIntroduction to Part II3 Territorial sovereignty3.1 The dissimilarities between physical trespass and digital intrusion3.1.1 Espionage per se is not an international wrongful act3.1.2 The lack of an analogy between digital and physical intrusions3.2 The ‘do-not-harm’ challenge and the minimal effects of cyber-espionage4 Collective security law4.1 A traditional interpretation of the UN Charter does not result in a regulation of cyber-espionage4.2 Alternative interpretations of cyber-espionage do not result in the regulation of cyber-espionage4.2.1 Interpretation based on meta-rules4.2.2 Teleological interpretation5 The law applicable between belligerent States5.1 The territorial rationale of the regulation of espionage between belligerents5.1.1 The categories of spies defined by the law of armed conflict5.1.2 The challenging application of rules about espionage in a digital space5.2 A lack of State support in favour of the application of espionage-related rules in cyber-space6 The law applicable between belligerent and non-belligerent States6.1 The absence of a regulation by rules on material operations6.1.1 The obligations between belligerents6.1.2 The obligations on neutral States6.2 A limited restriction of cyber-espionage by rules on the use of telecommunications6.2.1 The obligations between belligerents6.2.2 The obligations on neutral StatesConclusion to Part IIPart III: The rules disconnected from territorial integrityIntroduction to Part III7 The law of diplomatic relations7.1 Indirect regulation of espionage by embassies7.1.1 The accreditation of the mission7.1.2 The performing of the mission7.2 Indirect regulation of espionage on embassies7.2.1 The lack of regulation by the inviolability of diplomatic premises7.2.2 The incompatibility of cyber-espionage with the rules protecting the inviolability of archives and documents8 International economic law8.1 The absence of a prohibition of economic cyber-espionage8.1.1 The absence of a prohibition by national treatment8.1.2 The absence of a prohibition by the obligation to protect undisclosed information8.2 The tolerance of cyber-espionage required for the preservation of essential security interests8.2.1 Cyber-espionage activities in peacetime8.2.2 Cyber-espionage in a time of war or other emergency in international relations9 International human rights law9.1 The absence of extraterritorial jurisdiction in the event of remote cyber-espionage activities9.2 The measured regulation of surveillance activities by the right to privacy9.2.1 Interference and legality9.2.2 Legitimacy and proportionality10 State practice10.1 The unanimous prohibition of espionage by domestic criminal laws10.1.1 The traditional prohibition of espionage10.1.2 The progressive prohibition of digital intrusions and interceptions10.2 The predominant authorisation of one’s own intelligence activities against other States10.2.1 Provisions authorising intelligence gathering10.2.2 Grounds allowing intelligence collection11 Opinio juris11.1 The absence of a right to spy11.2 The absence of a prohibition on espionageConclusion to Part IIIConclusionIndex

Springer International Publishing AG Counterintelligence in a Cyber World
Book SynopsisThis book provides an outline of the major challenges and methodologies for applying classic counterintelligence theory into the cybersecurity domain. This book also covers operational security approaches to cyber, alongside detailed descriptions of contemporary cybersecurity threats, in the context of psychological and criminal profiling of cybercriminals. Following an analysis of the plethora of counterespionage techniques that can be mapped to the cyber realm, the mechanics of undertaking technical surveillance are reviewed.A range of approaches to web and forum surveillance are outlined as a virtual addition to traditional video and audio surveillance captured regarding targets. This includes a description of the advances in Artificial Intelligence, predictive analysis, support for the disciplines of digital forensics, behavioural analysis and Open Source Intelligence (OSINT). The rise of disinformation and misinformation and the veracity of widespread false flag claims are discussed at length, within the broader context of legal and ethical issues in cyber counterintelligence.This book is designed for professionals working in the intelligence, law enforcement or cybersecurity domains to further explore and examine the contemporary intersection of these disciplines. Students studying cybersecurity, justice, law, intelligence, criminology or related fields may also find the book useful as a reference volume, while instructors could utilise the whole volume or individual chapters as a secondary textbook or required reading.Table of ContentsChapter. 1.
