Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - This monograph discusses the inadequacy of current U.S. Army doctrine for incorporating water barriers into a defensive scheme, and makes recommendations regarding improving that doctrine. The monograph first examines the current status of doctrine for the incorporation of river barriers into defensive plans and finds adequate doctrine lacking. The paper then provides the necessary foundation for the creation of a new doctrine through an examination of: existing 'theories' for the defense of river barriers; the methods of defense used in World War Two (especially against the Soviets) and their degree of success; and the most significant changes apparent since World War Two in offensive river-crossing doctrine and capabilities (especially Soviet) and their likely impact on defensive theory and lessons from previous practice. The monograph concludes that defense on the far shore seems to hold most promise for success in modern war, but also that further study needs to be completed in many areas before a fully adequate doctrine could be written. It then recommends specific actions to assist in the creation of such a doctrine.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Wraps. Presumed first edition/first printing. vi, 38 p. Endnotes. From an on-line posting: "For nearly two centuries, the principles of war have guided practitioners of the military art. During the last 55 years the principles of war have been a key element of U.S. Army doctrine, and recently they have been incorporated into other Service and Joint doctrines. The turn of the 21st century and the dawn of what some herald as the "Information Age, " however, may call into question whether principles originally derived in the 19th century and based on the experience of "Industrial Age" armed forces still hold. Moreover, despite their long existence, the applicability of the principles of war at the strategic level of warfare has not been the subject of detailed analysis or assessment. William T. Johnsen held the Elihu Root Chair of Military Studies at the U.S. Army War College from 1994-97. A former Infantry officer, Dr. Johnsen served in a variety of troop leading, command, and staff assignments. He holds a B.S. degree from the U.S. iv Military Academy, and an M.A. and Ph.D. in History from Duke University. Dr. Johnsen also is a graduate of the Armed Forces Staff College and the U.S. Army War College. Very good. No dust jacket. Cover has slight wear and soiling. Kistler, James E.
