#SWJBookReview: “The Weaponisation of Everything: A Field Guide to the New Way of War,” by Mark Galeotti. Yale University Press (@yalepress).
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
👤Reviewed by: LCDR Ciprian C.- a Romanian Special Operations Forces officer (pursuing a Master of Science in Defense Analysis at the Naval Postgraduate School (@NPS_Monterey ).
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“States are increasingly turning the instruments of civilian life into weapons: business and sanctions, criminal proxies, legal procedures, information ecosystems, and culture. While this shift is commonly treated as a revolutionary development driven by Russia’s hybrid adventurism, Galeotti’s central and most provocative claim is that it is nothing of the sort. The techniques may be more sophisticated and the environment more interconnected, but the underlying logic of subverting, demoralizing, and outmaneuvering an adversary without resorting to full-scale military force is as old as statecraft itself.”

“𝐹𝑖𝑟𝑒 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝐽𝑢𝑛𝑔𝑙𝑒’s central contribution is a detailed examination of how resistance movements form, survive, and eventually contribute to a larger military campaign. The book’s analysis of this phenomenon during the Pacific Theater of World War II is an instructive example.
The success of the Mindanao guerrillas did not emerge from ideal conditions. They operated in a contested environment marked by occupation, isolation, limited resources, internal divisions, and the constant threat of Japanese counterguerrilla operations.
Yet through leadership, local support, adaptation, and external assistance from the United States, the resistance developed into a meaningful force that tied down Japanese units, gathered intelligence, sustained morale, and supported the eventual liberation of the Philippines.”

"Are you a currently serving field-grade officer or military civilian❓ Does your daily grind consist of staff work on DOTMLPF-P related issues while completing your master’s degree and attempting to publish in a professional journal simultaneously❓ Do you want to speak knowledgeably about current military doctrine and its potential to deliver effects in dynamic security environments❓
ㅤㅤ
If you answered yes to any of the above, then "Multidomain Operations: The Pursuit of Battlefield Dominance in the 21st Century" is an essential text. It’s an expert’s take on the limitations of Multidomain Operations (#MDO) doctrine to win future conflicts presented in edited volume form. It is replete with acronyms, contextual assumptions, and euphemisms that only a military professional, a military-related academic, or a policy wonk will appreciate.
ㅤㅤ
Far from merely an American perspective, the book addresses regional considerations and includes perspectives on NATO, Japanese, and Australian MDO doctrine from multinational authors."

New #SWJBookReview: "Raising the Bar – The School of Advanced Military Studies and the Introduction of Operational Art in U.S. Army Doctrine" By Col. Kevin Benson

"Colonel Kevin M. Benson’s Raising the Bar: The School of Advanced Military Studies and the Introduction of Operational Art in U.S. Army Doctrine, 1983–1994 is more than a history of a military school. It is a study of intellectual reform inside a great institution, key for the U.S. armed forces’ development. The book shows how ideas, when paired with disciplined education, can reshape doctrine and change the conduct of war.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
I have to admit my professional bias. I graduated from The Advanced Military Studies Program of SAMS in 1996, and I believe it shaped my thinking for the remainder of my Army career to this day.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Benson tells the story of how the U.S. Army School of Advanced Military Studies (SAMS) emerged at a moment of doctrinal crisis. In the late 1970s, the Army struggled with the limits of tactical thinking. The service had mastered the mechanics of battle but often failed to connect tactical actions to strategic objectives. Brigadier General Huba Wass de Czege saw the gap. Drawing lessons from World War II and from the disproportionate number of Command and General Staff College graduates who later became senior commanders, he argued that the Army required a cadre of officers educated in the operational level of war.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
SAMS was created to meet that need. The school’s purpose was not to produce staff officers who could simply follow process. Its mission was to cultivate practitioners of operational art. These officers would understand how campaigns link battles to strategic objectives. They would think across domains and across time. They would see war as a system rather than a series of isolated engagements."

New #SWJBookReview: Modern Hybrid Warfare: Russia Versus the West | By Ryan C. Maness and Brandon Valeriano
👤 Reviewed by: Ciprian Clipa
"Ryan C. Maness and Brandon Valeriano’s Modern Hybrid Warfare offers a rigorous empirical assessment of Russia’s hybrid warfare strategy against Ukraine and the West.
The authors argue that while hybrid operations, such as #cyberattacks, #InformationWarfare, and #EconomicStatecraft, particularly energy coercion, remain permanent features of modern conflict, they have failed as decisive strategic instruments. Contrary to widespread assumptions that advanced technologies – such as AI, unmanned systems, electronic warfare, and space assets – will revolutionize warfare, Maness and Valeriano argue that the Russo-Ukrainian War demonstrates that warfare’s fundamental nature remains unchanged: brutal, bloody, and highly dependent on adaptation and coordination rather than technological silver bullets.
At a time when policymakers and military planners deal with questions about the future of conflict, this book provides essential analysis grounded in evidence rather than speculation."

#SWJBookReview: "Spec Ops: Case Studies in Special Operations Warfare: Theory and Practice" by William H. McRaven
👤 Reviewed by: LCDR Ciprian Clipa- Romanian Special Operations Forces officer who is currently pursuing a Master of Science in Defense Analysis, majoring in #IrregularWarfare, at the Naval Postgraduate School (@NPS_Monterey)
"William H. McRaven’s Spec Ops is a classic of military theory that fills a notable gap in strategic thought. As McRaven himself notes, military literature spans from #Kahn’s nuclear #deterrence to #LiddellHart’s indirect approach and Clausewitz’s friction of war, yet “nowhere is there a theory of special operations.”
This absence is striking because #SpecialOperations systematically defy #Clausewitz’s principle that superior numbers determine battle outcomes. McRaven’s work offers the first sustained explanation of why small, specialized forces can defeat larger, entrenched enemies. Comparing eight classic operations, from the German glider assault on Fort Eben Emael in 1940 to the Israeli raid at Entebbe in 1976, McRaven develops his relative superiority theory, the moment of decision at which a weaker force gains and retains superiority over a larger enemy. #SpecOps became required reading among soldiers, policy officials, and scholars in search of a realistic account of why David can, and does, defeat Goliath in modern warfare."

New #SWJBookReview in #SWJElCentro: From Lenin to the Narcos: Manwaring’s Lessons on Political War in the Age of #Paramilitaries
"Gangs, Pseudo-Militaries, and Other Modern Mercenaries. By Max G. Manwaring"
👤 Reviewed by Dr. Matthew P. Arsenault
"In Gangs, Pseudo-Militaries, and Other Modern #Mercenaries, Max G. Manwaring argued that contemporary conflict had become a form of “indirect but total war,” where state and nonstate actors deploy #gangs, #militias, and #CriminalNetworks to coerce political change.
Writing in 2010, Manwaring rooted this logic in Lenin’s revolutionary model of phased struggle, but his insight reaches beyond leftist movements. Today, the #Leninist template of indirect political war—blending #propaganda, #coercion, and proxy violence—has been adopted by actors across ideological lines, from Russia’s #WagnerGroup to Mexico’s cartels to Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces. The fusion of criminal and political motives that Manwaring foresaw now defines the landscape of modern #IrregularWarfare.
Manwaring has long been recognized as one of the leading theorists of counterinsurgency and irregular warfare, best known for developing the SWORD model—a framework emphasizing legitimacy, unity of effort, and the integration of hard and #SoftPower in #SmallWars.
In Gangs, Pseudo-Militaries, and Other Modern Mercenaries (2010), Manwaring extended his earlier work by arguing that contemporary conflict had evolved into what he termed “irregular #asymmetric #PoliticalWar.”

New #SWJBookReview: “A Risk Too Far: A Psychological Autopsy of the Planning for Arnhem” By: Gary Buck
ㅤㅤ
Reviewed by: Ian S. Bertram
ㅤㅤ
"Operation Market Garden has become a near-mythical battle of the modern age. The World War II (#WWII) effort to capture a series of bridges across the Netherlands in 1944 and get the Allies across the Rhine into Germany “to end the war by Christmas” was an audacious gamble that failed for a host of reasons.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
Many of today’s military officers and security professionals, including myself, were introduced to the WWII battle through Cornelius Ryan’s 1974 book A Bridge Too Far, and the 1977 film of the same name starring Sean Connery. Each year, those same people often post about the battle on social media, an honor that seems to be shared only with D-Day and the 1993 “Blackhawk Down” battle, officially known as Operation Gothic Serpent and also remembered in print and film. With the 81st Anniversary of the September 1944 battle, many of those same professionals will engage in vigorous debates about the operation, its heroes and villains, its risks, and perhaps most importantly, what can be learned by today’s leaders.
ㅤㅤ
The operation has been studied endlessly ever since the survivors of the British 1st Airborne Division escaped across the Rhine, and it is difficult to add much new to the discussions. Therefore, I found Gary Buck’s psychological analysis of some of the battle’s key contributors a refreshing and enlightening view of the operation. He not only explores the classic operation through a new lens but also provides ample material for a new generation of leaders to digest. His combination of history and psychological analysis should have leaders examining their own decision-making process and even their own personality as they plan and conduct military operations."

📚 New #SWJBookReview 👉 Bitskrieg: The New Challenge of Cyberwarfare By: John Arquilla, professor emeritus and one of the founders of the Defense Analysis department at the Naval Postgraduate School, and a longtime advisor on information warfare
👤 Reviewed By: Ciprian Clipa
"John Arquilla’s Bitskrieg: The New Challenge of Cyberwarfare is a timely and provocative analysis of how information and digital networks are reshaping the nature of conflict. Best-known for coining the term “#netwar” and for being the first scholar writing on swarming and information-age war, Arquilla extends those thoughts further in Bitskrieg, arguing that cyberwarfare is the twenty-first-century version of Blitzkrieg. As the 1930s and 1940s were transformed by the mechanization of warfighting, he contends that cyber weapons, joined by flexible organization and strategic vision, have come to dictate both peacetime competition and wartime combat.
Central to his argument is that information flow is the key to success in the information-age war of the twenty-first century: it must flow quickly to underpin decision and coordinated action but must be highly protected as well. Speed without security invites catastrophe, which is why Arquilla advocates universal encryption and the migration of data into resilient cloud architectures. Only when information flows are both swift and shielded can they provide the decisive edge in modern conflict.
As a wake-up call to those policymakers, military leaders, and scholars dealing with cyber strategy, Arquilla’s book sends a stern message: offense leads, defense lags, and nothing short of a massive rethinking of how we fight and the policies by which we operate will prevent catastrophic vulnerability."
Ciprian Clipa notes, "Particularly compelling is his warning that organizations must transform, because big, slow bureaucracies cannot survive against small, agile, networked adversaries who exploit information faster."

#SWJBookReview: Training for Victory: U.S. Special Forces Advisory Operations from El Salvador to Afghanistan by Dr. Frank Sobchak, PhD
ㅤ ㅤㅤ
Reviewed by: Wyatt Thielen
ㅤ ㅤㅤ
"The closeout of the Global War on Terror and the contentious politics over the withdrawal from #Afghanistan gave the Army every opportunity to avoid deliberate introspection about institutional performance in fulfilling the various missions assigned to it. In particular, Security Force Assistance – the training and development of foreign military forces and institutions – was widely viewed as a mission that failed writ large.
ㅤ ㅤㅤ
This training, designed to develop the recipient nation’s forces to provide for their own security, was a hallmark of the last twenty years of American military activity abroad. After the collapse of conventional #Iraqi forces during the rise of #ISIS, and the near entirety of the #Afghan National Army during the American withdrawal, American citizens can reasonably ask, “Does this ever work?”
ㅤ ㅤㅤ
A casual observer may conclude that these efforts are wasted, doomed to fail for myriad reasons, and a distraction from the pursuit of unilateral combat power. This perspective misses critical outliers, and Training for Victory by Dr. @AbuJeshua Sobchak uses a comparative analysis of five cases to illuminate these exceptions. This research sheds light on the space between the binary distinction of success and failure.
ㅤ ㅤㅤ
By examining five factors that shape advising efforts and evaluating the resultant combat effectiveness of the recipient units across four core competencies, this book identifies which relationships resulted in durable combat power, and what, if any, factors were the most critical to those assistance efforts."

#SWJBookReview: Active Measures By Thomas Rid
Reviewed by: Yevhen Kovalchuk
"The book’s core thesis is that successful disinformation campaigns function by blending truth and lies so seamlessly that the resulting narrative cannot be easily challenged without reinforcing it. Rid emphasizes that disinformation is “not simply fake information—at least, not necessarily. Some of the most vicious and effective active measures… were designed to deliver entirely accurate information” (p. 10). These operations, he explains, are most potent when they manipulate real facts and events to erode trust, spread confusion, and deepen divisions."

Read and discuss our latest #SWJBookReview from our friends at the #IrregularWarfareInitiative: Influence by Design: Reassessing U.S. Military Advising
by Dr. Alexandra Chinchilla, Ph.D.
"After the failure to build a sustainable Afghan military that could survive without U.S. presence, many scholars and practitioners now argue that U.S. efforts to build foreign militaries are nearly predestined to fail and should rarely, if ever, be undertaken. In Training for Victory: U.S. Special Forces Advisory Operations from El Salvador to Afghanistan, Frank Sobchak pushes back against this view, arguing that “…we have not failed because advising our allies is too hard; we’ve failed because we have never taken it seriously …Building foreign militaries is a difficult, long-term, and often thankless endeavor. But it is not impossible” (2024, 177).
To support his argument, Sobchak examines five cases of U.S. military advising:
1️⃣ El Salvador during the Cold War,
2️⃣ the Philippines,
3️⃣ Colombia,
4️⃣ Iraq,
5️⃣ and Afghanistan during the Global War on Terror.
While cases like #Colombia and El Salvador are considered successes by some scholars, Afghanistan is widely seen as a failure. Sobchak seeks to understand why some advising efforts succeed while others do not. He tackles this challenging analytical problem with a clear research design and well-researched case studies offering new empirical detail on important U.S. advising missions.

#SWJBookReview: La Historia Secreta: AMLO y el Cártel de Sinaloa by Anabel Hernandez
Reviewed by: Mario Alvarado
"“¡Plebada! ¡Puro Morena! ¡Puro AMLO!” were the words echoed through the radio frequency of the Cártel de Sinaloa (CDS) on 1 June 2018, when Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) celebrated his victory at the Zocalo in Ciudad de México (p.138).
Through her writing, journalist Anabel Hernández depicts the people of Mexico’s enthusiasm towards the dethroning of the Partido Revolucionario Institucional (#PRI) party and expected arrival of change. What they did not expect was that the change would be a trojan horse from the CDS, whose contributions allowed them to become the number one drug trafficking organization in both Mexico and the world at the time (p.161). Across the border, millions of m30 pills (fentanyl) began to flood the United States and result in the highly impacted Kensington borough in Pennsylvania to become known as “Zombieland.”
In La Historia Secreta: AMLO y el Cártel de Sinaloa, Hernández effectively engages readers through direct evidence obtained via various CDS members who narrate notable events for the illicit organization. Notable interviewees include: Dámaso “El Mini Lic” López Serrano, an unnamed head of security for Edgar “La Barbie” Valdez Villareal, Guillermo “El Lagartijo” Michel Hernández, a notable CDS gunman, retired Department of Justice (CALDOJ) special agent Steve Duncan among other credible unnamed sources. Hernández’s writing allows readers to feel as if they are in the same room as interviewees and witnesses in the narrated events."
