Taylor & Francis Ltd War and Media Operations The US Military and the
Book SynopsisThis is the first academic analysis of the role of embedded media in the 2003 Iraq War, providing a concise history of US military public affairs management since Vietnam.In late summer 2002, the Pentagon considered giving the press an inside view of the upcoming invasion of Iraq. The decision was surprising, and the innovative embedded media program itself received intense coverage in the media. Its critics argued that the program was simply a new and sophisticated form of propaganda. Their implicit assumption was that the Pentagon had become better at its news management and had learned to co-opt the media.This new book tests this assumption, introducing a model of organizational learning and redraws the US military's cumbersome learning curve in public affairs from Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, the Persian Gulf, Somalia, the Balkans to Afghanistan, examining whether past lessons were implemented in Iraq in 2003. Thomas Rid argues that while the US armed forces have imprTrade Review'War and Media Operations is must-reading for anyone who wants to understand how modern wars are sold to public opinion.'Jamie Shea, Director of Policy Planning at NATO, alliance spokesman duringthe Kosovo War'Those who support or oppose 'embedded' journalism will find ammunition here but Rid himself doesn't take shots.'Steven Komarow, USA TODAY, embedded with the US Army's V Corps duringthe Iraq War'thought-provoking, insightful, and deeply engaging'Ikujiro Nonaka, Graduate School of International Corporate Strategy, Hitotsubashi University, Tokyo, former Xerox Professor of Knowledge, HaasSchool of Business, University of Berkeley, author of The Knowledge CreatingCompany'Thomas Rid demonstrates how nimble adversaries such as Al-Qaeda are comingup with their own information strategy.'James Mann, School of Advanced International Studies, Johns Hopkins University, author of Rise of the Vulcans'The best analysis I have yet seen of the role of Public Affairs within the wider context of Information Operations.'Philip Taylor, University of Leeds, UK, author of Munitions of the Mind: A History of Propaganda'War and Media Operations is must-reading for anyone who wants to understand how modern wars are sold to public opinion.'Jamie Shea, Director of Policy Planning at NATO, alliance spokesman duringthe Kosovo War'Those who support or oppose 'embedded' journalism will find ammunition here but Rid himself doesn't take shots.'Steven Komarow, USA TODAY, embedded with the US Army's V Corps duringthe Iraq War'thought-provoking, insightful, and deeply engaging'Ikujiro Nonaka, Graduate School of International Corporate Strategy, Hitotsubashi University, Tokyo, former Xerox Professor of Knowledge, HaasSchool of Business, University of Berkeley, author of The Knowledge CreatingCompany'Thomas Rid demonstrates how nimble adversaries such as Al-Qaeda are comingup with their own information strategy.'James Mann, School of Advanced International Studies, Johns Hopkins University, author of Rise of the Vulcans'The best analysis I have yet seen of the role of Public Affairs within the wider context of Information Operations.'Philip Taylor, University of Leeds, UK, author of Munitions of the Mind: A History of PropagandaTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Nuclear Weapons Proliferation in the Next Decade
Book SynopsisThe intensification of the Iranian and North Korean nuclear crises has created new fears that deteriorating security conditions in the Middle East, Northeast Asia, and other regions will lead additional countries to seek their own nuclear arsenals in the years to come. This special issue examines the factors that are likely to shape nuclear weapons proliferation over the next decade. The internationally recognized authors of this issue, many of whom are prominent scholars and others of whom have held influential governmental positions with responsibility for countering nuclear proliferation, bring to light the conditions and events that might drive new countries to pursue nuclear weapons; the indicators and cautionary signs that can provide early warning that a country is interested in building nuclear bombs; and the policy and military measures that can be adopted to prevent or at least dissuade new proliferators.

Taylor & Francis Ltd NineteenthCentury Worlds
Book SynopsisThis volume assembles a wide range of studies that together provideâthrough their interdisciplinary range, international scope, and historical emphasesâan original scholarly exploration of one of the most important topics in recent nineteenth-century studies: the emergence in the nineteenth century of forms of global experience that have developed more recently into rapidly expanding processes of globalization and their attendant collisions of race, religion, ethnicity, population groups, natural environments, national will and power. Emphasizing such links between global networks past and present, the essays in this volume engage with the latest work in postcolonial, cosmopolitan, and globalization theory while speaking directly to the most pressing concerns of contemporary geopolitics. Each essay examines specific cultural and historical circumstances in the formation of nineteenth-century worlds from a range of disciplinary perspectives, including economics, political history, naTable of ContentsEditorial Preface.

Taylor & Francis Naval Warfare 191945
Book SynopsisNaval Warfare 1919â45 is a comprehensive history of the war at sea from the end of the Great War to the end of World War Two. Showing the bewildering nature and complexity of the war facing those charged with fighting it around the world, this book ranges far and wide: sweeping across all naval theatres and those powers performing major, as well as minor, roles within them. Armed with the latest material from an extensive set of sources, Malcolm H. Murfett has written an absorbing as well as a comprehensive reference work. He demonstrates that superior equipment and the best intelligence, ominous power and systematic planning, vast finance and suitable training are often simply not enough in themselves to guarantee the successful outcome of a particular encounter at sea. Sometimes the narrow difference between victory and defeat hinges on those infinite variables: the individualâs performance under acute pressure and sheer luck. Naval Warfare 1919â45 Trade Review"At times breathless and colloquial, some of its assessments may raise the blood pressure of elderly veterans, but it is altogether a refreshing, astoundingly comprehensive, technologically aware work of great merit. It is a well balanced account, free from the history by the winners' biases of earlier generations. In Malcolm Murfett the maritime history of the Second World War has found its master historian." - Michael Simpson, University of Wales, UKStudents will find this a quite invaluable guide to modern naval history..... From the point of view of naval history both as an accessible record and explanation of events, and as an intellectual discipline, Naval Warfare 1919-1945 is a truly remarkable book and is highly recommended....." - Geoffrey Till, Kings College London, UKTable of ContentsAbbreviations.
