The Saratoga Campaign (June-October 1777) was a watershed event for the United States. The American conduct of the campaign is a textbook study in the application of the tenets of maneuver warfare principles at the operational and tactical levels. General Schuyler's brilliant shaping campaign against the British Forces as they advanced from Fort Ticonderoga to Albany forced General Burgoyne to detach elements of his force, which the Americans were able to isolate, mass forces against, and destroy. Ultimately, Schuyler's shaping cased the British campaign to culminate prior to the main engagements, known as the first and second battles of Saratoga. Occupying a prepared Defensive Position North of Saratoga, the Americans, led by General Arnold, conducted a forward oriented Defense that seized the initiative from the British and disrupted their preconceived plans. The American counter-attacks which demonstrated the American Mastery of seeking gaps and avoiding surfaces, attrited the British Force to such an extent that they were forced to surrender. The victory of the makeshift American Force over the Professional British-Led Force Demonstrates the superiority of maneuver warfare versus Attritionist Techniques, and is of contemporary interest to the USMC.

International Law Situations: With Solutions And Notes, 1904 (1905) is a book published by the Naval War College. The book contains a collection of hypothetical situations that deal with various aspects of international law. Each situation is accompanied by a detailed solution and notes that explain the legal principles involved. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the law of war, neutrality, blockade, prize law, and the rights of belligerents and neutrals. The situations presented in the book are designed to challenge the reader's understanding of international law and to provide practical examples of how legal principles are applied in real-world situations. The book is intended for use by students of international law, military officers, and legal practitioners. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of international law and its application in times of war and peace.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

This study of "coercive inducement" - Kofi Annan's term for diplomacy relying on demonstrations of military force - shows how, in the absence of such an option, the international community finds it hard to respond to various crises. This includes ones that can spiral out of control, and genocide.

This book focuses on the critical yet often overlooked subject of operational leadership. Using a case study of General George S. Patton, Jr. and his command of the U.S. Third Army during World War II as the backdrop, I intend to offer lessons learned from Patton?s time as a commander at the operational level for potential future operational leaders who aspire to such command. The scope of this paper is straightforward; this is a study of operational leadership as performed by perhaps its most skilled practitioner. A detailed analysis of Patton?s tactical accomplishments is not contained herein. Nor is a study of his pre-Third Army actions conducted. There are more than enough volumes that describe all of those impressive actions. Further, this paper will not delve into the controversial actions that colored Patton?s career; there are even more volumes addressing those topics.
