Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This paper examines air coercion, a strategy of increasing importance to the Air Force and other Services. Although a number of scholars have begun to look at air coercion strategies in some detail, to include theoretical underpinnings and application in historical examples, two key weaknesses persist in the existing literature. First, despite much recent attention, air coercion is still poorly defined, and scholars too often misuse the term or try to apply it where it should not be applied. Second, there has not been enough study of specific coercive mechanisms and how airpower strategies influence them. Mechanisms are the means by which attacks on various targets, such as fielded military forces, economic infrastructure, and public opinion, translate into coercive leverage against adversary leadership. To fill these gaps in the current scholarship, this paper defines air coercion and discusses briefly the kinds of armed conflicts in which it may or may not succeed. From there, it addresses the issue of coercive mechanisms in some detail, including an appraisal of their importance and utility to air campaign planners. Finally, it assesses the effectiveness of air coercion in two historical case studies: the air pressure campaign in the closing months of the Korean War and Operation Deliberate Force, flown against the Bosnian Serbs in 1995.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - When large formations of Allied four-engine bombers finally flew over Europe, it marked the beginning of the end for the Third Reich. Their relentless hammering of Germany - totaling more than 1.4 million missions - took out oil refineries, industries, and transportation infrastructures vital to the Reich's war effort. While other accounts have focused on operational details, this is the first book to reveal the crucial role of air intelligence in these dramatic campaigns. Robert Ehlers re-examines these bombings through the lens of both air intelligence and operations, a dual approach that shows how the former was so vital to the latter's success. Air intelligence was essential to both targeting and damage assessment, and by demonstrating its contributions to the Combined Bomber Offensive of 1943-1945, Ehlers provides a wealth of new insight into the war. Ehlers describes the close ties that developed between the Royal Air Force's 'precision intelligence' arm and the U.S. Army Air Force's 'precision bombardment' forces, telling how the RAF's photographic reconnaissance and signals intelligence steered both British and American bombers to the right targets at the right intervals with the right munitions. He shows that the greatest strength of this partnership was its ability to orchestrate all aspects of damage assessment within an effective organizational structure, so that by 1944 senior air commanders - like the RAF's Arthur 'Bomber' Harris and the AAF's Carl 'Tooey' Spaatz - could gauge the accuracy of bombing with a high degree of precision, analyze its effects on the German war effort, and determine its effectiveness in helping the Allies achieve strategic objectives. Ehlers focuses on three key offensives in 1944 - against French and Belgian rail supply lines delivering German troops and supplies to Normandy, against German oil refineries, and against railroads and waterways inside the Reich - that had a disastrous effect on the Nazi war effort. In the process, he underscores the degree to which bombers constituted part of a highly effective combined-arms force, giving Allied armies crucial advantages on the battlefield. Drawing on a huge collection of bomb-damage assessment photographs and a wealth of other archival sources, he shows that the success of these and other efforts can be traced directly to the success of air intelligence. Providing a deeper and more accurate understanding of the bomber campaigns' role in the Allied victory, Ehlers' study testifies to the strategic importance of these efforts in that war and provides a tool for understanding the importance of intelligence operations in future conflicts.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This volume explores the importance of technology in war, and to the study of warfare. Dr. Guilmartin's former students explore how technology from the medieval to the modern era, and across several continents, was integral to warfare and to the outcomes of wars. Authors discuss the interactions between politics, grand strategy, war, technology, and the socio-cultural implementation of new technologies in different contexts. They explore how and why belligerents chose to employ new technologies, the intended and unintended consequences of doing so, the feedback loops driving these consequences, and how the warring powers came to grips with the new technologies they unleashed. This work is particularly useful for military historians, military professionals, and policymakers who study and face analogous situations. Contributors are Alan Beyerchen, Robert H. Clemm, Edward Coss, Sebastian Cox, Daniel P. M. Curzon, Sarah K. Douglas, Robert S. Ehlers, Jr., Andrew de la Garza, John F. Guilmartin, Jr., Matthew Hurley, Peter Mansoor, Edward B. McCaul, Jr., Michael Pavelec, William Roberts, Robyn Rodriguez, Clifford J. Rogers, William Waddell, and Corbin Williamson. …
