Michael Walsh's new book A Rage to Conquer is a journey through twelve of the most important battles in Western history. As Walsh sees it, war is an important facet of every culture - and, for better or worse, our world is unthinkable without it. War has been an essential part of the human condition throughout history, the principal agent of societal change, waged by men on behalf of, and in pursuit of, their gods, women, riches, power, and the sheer joy of combat. In A Rage to Conquer, Walsh brings history to life as he considers a group of courageous commanders and the battles they waged that became crucial to the course of Western history. He looks first at Carl Von Clausewitz, the seminal thinker in the Western canon dealing with war. He then moves on to Achilles at Ilium, Alexander at Gaugamela, Caesar at Alesia, Constantine at the Milvian Bridge, Aetius at the Catalaunian Plains, Bohemond at Dorylaeum and Antioch, Napoleon at Austerlitz, Pershing at St.-Mihiel, Nimitz at Midway and Patton at the Bulge with a final consideration of how the Battle of 9/11 was ultimately lost by the U.S. and what that portends for the future.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.
What military strategies and tactics can business leaders leverage to position their companies for success? In this episode, Rich sits down with four-star General Robert Brown, President and CEO of the Association of the United States Army. General Brown is an experienced commander who has led at every level, from platoon through Army Service Component Command, leading a group of over 100,000 soldiers. In this conversation, he discusses military strategy and best practices for navigating the modern Fog of War, sharing his insights on red teaming, after action reviews, and leadership principles. ---------Key Quotes: “Too much information has become the fog of war. It used to be not enough. Now it's too much… Now you've got to look through haystacks of information, thousands of haystacks of information, to try to find that golden needle in the haystack that will help you make a decision.” “ I've seen somebody say to me: ‘Here's my strategy, it's 15 pages.' And it's like, hey, it's gonna fail, You might as well stop. Start again. Can't be 15. Nobody's gonna read it.”“ The key is creating a learning environment where people want to learn and that after action review helps you learn and overcome those issues that may be buried if you didn't pull them out. It's like pulling a band aid off. You can't be thin skinned. Sometimes it's tough.”Practice Makes Profit: Increasing team velocity through a decision inventory. League of Strategic Minds [listener question]: What's the best way to tell if someone is strategic? Winsights: Ideas for Advantage: Sun Tzu, the Chinese general and philosopher, wrote, “Do not repeat the tactics which have gained you one victory, but let your methods be regulated by the infinite variety of circumstances.” Are you and your team repeating the same tactics year after year and expecting some type of miraculous change? Carve out time to think strategically about the changes in your market and with your customers. Stop procrastinating and start innovating.--------Time stamps:(00:00) Deep Dive Interview with General Brown(54:57) Practice Makes Profit(56:17) League of Strategic Minds (57:31) Winsights, Ideas for Advantage ---------Links:Submit a question for Rich to the League of Strategic Minds: https://www.strategyskills.com/strategic-minds-podcast/ General Brown on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robert-brooks-brown-1981usma/AUSA.org: https://www.ausa.org/Strategic Quotients Assessment: https://www.strategyskills.com/strategic-quotient-assessment/ Rich Horwath on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/richhorwath/Rich Horwath on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RichHorwathRich Horwath on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/richhorwathceo/Strategic Thinking Institute Website: https://www.strategyskills.com/Inc.

Igjen rammer krig Europa og andre deler av verden. Våpen og militærmakt brukes fortsatt for å ødelegge og undertrykke, men også for å kjempe for frihet, demokrati og nasjonal selvstendighet. Hvordan kan vi forstå krig? Carl von Clausewitz forsøkte å svare på dette spørsmålet for 200 år siden. Hva kan han lære oss om krig i dag?

(NOTAS Y ENLACES DE LA ENTREVISTA AQUÍ: )No es habitual empezar una entrevista hablando de perfiles generalistas y terminarla con una obra tan excelsa como el Pollo Pepe. Y menos aún si por el camino hablamos del sistema educativo, de cómo nos transforma la paternidad y cómo nos ayuda a entender a nuestros padres, de futuros imperfectos y de estoicismo o de liderazgo.Pero es que esto es lo que me suele suceder a mí cuando me siento a charlar con el invitado del capítulo de hoy. Su currículum es prácticamente imposible de resumir, así que sólo diremos que Guillermo de Haro ha combinado su pasión académica con una exitosa carrera empresarial. Es doble doctorado, en economía e ingeniería, ha trabajado en empresas de software, de tecnología, de comercio minorista y hasta de la industria del entretenimiento y hoy es Vicedecano en la escuela de Ciencia y Tecnología de la IE University. Es autor de multitud de artículos y de varios libros, entre otros uno a medias con un viejo conocido de este podcast: Javier González Recuenco. Pero más allá de todo eso, Guillermo tiene una curiosidad insaciable que demuestra en cada una de sus respuestas. De hecho, confieso que me quedé con la sensación de que cada pregunta que hice habría dado para una entrevista en sí misma y que apenas arañamos la superficie de su conocimiento. Aún así, espero que nuestra charla sea una invitación a descubrirle y a aprender más de él. Y, si te gusta la entrevista dímelo, que siempre puedo intentar liar a Guillermo para repetir. ¿Te gusta kaizen?

Son muchas las personas que piensan que la guerra es algo que solo aparece en los libros de historia, o que sucede en lejanos países, sin embargo, algo que olvidan muchas personas es que la guerra es como diría Carl Von Clausewitz el arte de someter la voluntad del enemigo bajo la tuya, y Sun Tzu a su vez decía que el mejor general es quien gana sin combatir. Hoy vivimos en guerra, una guerra silenciosa para la cual hay algunos más preparados que otros, unos que viven sometidos y otros viven luchando. El episodio de hoy pretende abrir una de las conversaciones que tenemos mi amigo Andrés, y un servidor con todos aquellos que quieran participar en la misma. Confiamos este episodio distinto os haga disfrutar. Gracias

Life is about creating yourself. —Bob Dylan[3:01] The best talk on YouTube for entrepreneurs: Runnin' Down a Dream: How to Succeed and Thrive in a Career You Love by Bill Gurley[3:21] Estée: A Success Story by Estée Lauder (Founders #217)[7:52] Billy asked me who I saw myself like in today's music scene. I told him, nobody. I really didn't see myself like anybody.[8:12] We may be in the same genre but we don't put out the same product.[16:34] What really set me apart in these days was my repertoire. It was more formidable than the rest of the players. There were a lot of better musicians around but there wasn't anybody close in nature to what I was doing.[18:00] Bob spends a lot of time thinking about and studying history.[20:34] I'd come from a long ways off and had started from a long ways down. But now destiny was about to manifest itself. I felt like it was looking right at me and nobody else.[21:27] I walked over to the window and looked outside. The air was bitter cold but the fire in my mind was never out. It was like a wind vane that was constantly spinning.[21:45] It is incredible how much reading this guy is going to do. He takes ideas from everything that he reads and applies it to his work.[22:30] Towering figures that the world would never see the likes of again, men who relied on their own resolve, for better or worse, every one of them prepared to act alone, indifferent to approval—indifferent to wealth or love, all presiding over the destiny of mankind and reducing the world to rubble. Coming from a long line of Alexanders and Julius Caesars, Genghis Khans, Charlemagnes and Napoleons, they carved up the world. They would not be denied and were impossible to reckon with—rude barbarians stampeding across the earth and hammering out their own ideas of geography.[26:29] Alexander the Great: The Brief Life and Towering Exploits of History's Greatest Conqueror--As Told By His Original Biographers by Arrian, Plutarch, and Quintus Curtius Rufus. (Founders #232)[29:37] I don't think there's been another human invention that can evoke deeper emotions than a great book —than great writing.[31:17] “What an astonishing thing a book is. It's a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you're inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic." —Carl Sagan[32:35] On War by Carl von Clausewitz[37:55] I knew what I was doing and wasn't going to take a step back or retreat for anybody.[46:40] This idea of being completely separate from the outside world is a main theme in the book.[48:00] Being true to yourself. That was the thing.[51:11] After a while you learn that privacy is something you can sell but you can't buy it back.[57:44] Too many distractions had turned my musical path into a jungle of vines.[58:29] There was a missing person inside of myself and I needed to find him.[59:53] You have to find ways to get out of your own head.[1:01:47] At first it was hard going like drilling through a brick wall. All I did was taste the dust.[1:05:14] Sometimes you could be looking for heaven in the wrong places. Sometimes it could be under your feet or in your bed.[1:07:25] Decoded by Jay Z. (Founders #238)[1:07:42] Somebody different was bound to come along sooner or later who would know that world, been born and raised with it. . . be all of it and more. He'd be able to balance himself on one leg on a tightrope that stretched across the universe and you'd know him when he came-there'd be only one like him.[1:08:23] A new performer was bound to appear. He'd be doing it with hard words and he'd be working 18 hours a day.[1:09:15] Advice from his Dad:“Remember, Robert, in life anything can happen. Even if you don't have all the things you want, be grateful for the things you don't have that you don't want."[1:11:54] I was beginning to feel like a character from within these songs, even beginning to think like one.[1:12:28] Y'all can't match my hustleYou can't catch my hustleYou can't fathom my love dudeLock yourself in a room doin' five beats a day for three summersI deserve to do these numbers[1:12:51] I played morning, noon and night. That's all I did, usually fell asleep with the guitar in my hands. I went through the entire summer this way.[1:13:31] The place I was living was no more than an empty storage room with a sink and a window looking into an alley, no closet, a toilet down the hall. I put a mattress on the floor.[1:15:22] Bound for Glory: The Hard-Driving, Truth-Telling, Autobiography of America's Great Poet-Folk Singer by Woody Guthrie—“I have listened to every episode released and look forward to every episode that comes out.

“Päävoimalta vaaditaan nopeaa, herkeämätöntä etenemistä ja rynnistämistä. Jokainen voittoa seuraava väliaika suo viholliselle uusia toiveita”. Näin kirjoitti sotateoreetikko Carl von Clausewitz. “Avoimessa maastossa yhdistä voimasi liittolaistesi kanssa. Asumattomassa maastossa ei pidä viivytellä. Suljetussa maastossa vaaditaan neuvokkuutta. Kuoleman maastossa, taistele.” Näin puolestaan sanoi toinen sotateoreetikko Sunzi. Miltä Ukrainan sotatilanne näyttää klassisten sotateoreetikkojen silmälasien läpi? Keskustelemassa sotilasprofessori, everstiluutnantti Marko Palokangas sekä Lapin yliopistosta kiinalaisen kulttuurin ja yhteiskunnan professori Matti Nojonen. Jakke Holvas juontaa.

Questo libro sintetizza le filosofie di Niccolò Machiavelli, Sun Tzu e Carl Von Clausewitz con i retaggi storici dei più grandi personaggi influenti di tutti i tempi come Cesare Borgia, Luigi XIV, Lorenzo de' Medici, Elisabetta I d'Inghilterra, Giulio Cesare e tanti altri.In questo libro Robert Greene, autore e oratore noto per il contenuto su strategia, seduzione e potere, spiega quali sono i metodi per conquistare e mantenere il potere.
The military theorist Carl Von Clausewitz used the term "coup d'oeil" to describe a special, innate ability to grasp the military possibilities presented by a specific situation. We may broaden this idea to describe an instinctive talent in some field of endeavor. Each of us possesses a special skill that distinguishes us from others; too often, however, those talents languish, or remain undiscovered. It is our responsibility to try to discover where our own "coup d'oeil" lies.

"War is simply a continuation of political intercourse, with the addition of other means". Those last two words, "other means", have always left me feeling somewhat uneasy. Is it not, after all, a kind of euphemism, a gentle phrase more agreeable to sensitive ears, behind which all the horrors of war--all the carnage, bloodshed, conquest, death, and loss--are too neatly concealed? Perhaps. But we mustn't forget, war is nothing more than a instrument of policy. An especially lethal one, it may well be, but it's an instrument nonetheless.
No programa de hoje, Luis Felipe Herdy e o professor de Relações Internacionais e historiador Márcio Scalercio conversaram sobre a vida, o contexto histórico e a obra do militar e filósofo prussiano Carl Von Clausewitz. Apresentamos quem foi Clausewitz e a influência do Iluminismo e da Revolução Francesa em seu pensamento. Também abordamos a definição de guerra de Clausewitz e especificamos aspectos importantes de seu projeto teórico, como o papel da política, a dupla natureza da guerra, a trindade da guerra, a diferença entre elementos universais e características momentâneas, os conceitos de acaso e fricção, o papel do ser humano e a diferença entre a guerra teórica e a prática. Ainda, discutimos possíveis comparações a Maquiavel, críticas à obra de Clausewitz e sua aplicação nos dias de hoje.

Can strategy be universally applied in multiple theaters of war? Can we apply similar strategies in both maritime and air environments? Consider the use of a “Center of Gravity”, canonised by the 18th century Prussian General and military strategist, Carl Von Clausewitz and its potential application to land warfare along... The post The Centre of Gravity: A bridge between maritime and air environments appeared first on Wavell Room.
Olivia Garard, former Marine captain and prolific author, joins the #BruteCast on its 1-year anniversary to talk about her newly released book from Marine Corps University Press, An Annotated Guide to Tactics: Carl von Clausewitz's “Theory of the Combat.” This little-known work by the Prussian military theorist should seem familiar to Marines because it houses the common tenets on which the Corps' warfighting philosophy is based. But it is also a bit different too. It is more abstract; it wrestles with questions such as what is combat, what is the offense, and what is a plan. As Marines face the unceasing, continued evolution of the character of warfare it is worth reflecting on these basics—the underlying theory of tactics—to understand how they are manifesting in the current competition and how they will manifest in the next fight. Olivia Garard is a former Marine captain who spent much of her time in uniform as one of the first Group 3 UAS MAGTF Officers. She also worked for the Ellis Group inside the Futures Directorate of the Marine Corps Warfighting Lab before leaving active service. Ms. Garard has written extensively on future employment of UAS, and future warfare in general, in The Strategy Bridge, War on the Rocks, Marine Corps Gazette, Orbis, and the U.S. Army War College's War Room. She has also published a good amount of poetry, in the Collateral Journal, the Wrath-Bearing Tree, a forthcoming piece with The Line Literary Review, and our personal favorite, “Every Brief Ever” which may be the only piece of poetry ever published on War on the Rocks. An Annotated Guide to Tactics can be downloaded here.

Prospecting is the lifeblood of every business. Having a full pipeline of qualified prospects means you have choice. According to Marcus Cauchi—a Fractional Chief Revenue Officer for several technology startups—you should have 300–500% more at the “qualified moving to closable” stage of your funnel. You have to drive opportunity with sufficient velocity through the disqualification process. Marcus emphasizes to make sure that you get to the qualified stage quickly and cleanly with the least amount of effort and waste. When you prospect for choice—and have a full pipeline—you can walk away from bad business and you’re never dependent on any one deal. Marcus shares a wealth of information in this episode of Sales Reinvented—don’t miss it! Outline of This Episode [1:15] Prospecting and lead gen—in Marcus’s words [1:41] You need to prospect for choice [2:50] Marcus’s prospecting and lead generation process [6:32] What is the red thread? [7:27] Recruit for high intelligence and laziness [10:10] The top skills salespeople should develop [11:42] Top 3 prospecting and lead generation dos and don’ts [13:43] How Marcus turned a cold call into a sale Be ruthless with disqualification Prospecting for choice begins with identifying who is and who is not someone you should be prospecting. Disqualify everyone who isn’t a good fit—that means anyone less than a 100% match. You have to be ruthless with disqualification. You should be ready to go for the “no” and find out why they should not buy. If you don’t know why they need help, the risks they’re trying to mitigate, the problems they’re trying to overcome, or their ideal outcomes, you have no business interrupting them. Don’t neglect any part of the process To prospect for choice, you should also know who your customer is and what they all have in common. Be relevant, timely, respectful of their time, and deliver value on every call. Marcus hates the drivel he hears from people selling marketing automation companies saying it takes 18 attempts to speak to get a conversation in the C-suite. It doesn’t. It only takes one. If it takes more than that, look at your messaging and find out why it’s not working. Odds are, it’s long, it’s wordy, and it’s irrelevant. It talks about your company, your product, and your services. Touch them with stuff that is relevant. He notes that you have to remember that prospecting doesn’t end after the initial conversation. You must care for the middle of the funnel. It’s hammered into you to prospect and get people into the funnel. Then you’re pushed to get to closing. The middle of the funnel is often neglected. Treat prospecting as a sacred act and make sure that you are focusing on making fewer higher-quality calls, being timely and relevant, and nurture them through the pipeline. Recruit for high intelligence...and laziness Carl Von Clausewitz wrote a book called “On War.” When he recruited Prussian soldiers, he looked for high intelligence and laziness. Why? It meant minimum effort which equaled a minimum loss of life. You can approach prospecting in the same way. You need to be well organized and good at research. You need to understand your customer’s world and understand their customers. What is the competitive landscape? If you are good at that, you can elevate your prospecting so you can hit the bullseye far more often—with less effort. Marcus interviewed a couple of ladies in the SaaS space. These ladies were smashing their quotas. But when they do, they sit back and ask themselves “What could I have done better?” What other skills should a salesperson develop? What are Marcus’s top prospecting and lead generation dos and don’ts? Listen to learn more! Marcus turned a cold-call into a sale Marcus received a call from someone who immediately started talking about financial training. Marcus interrupted this person and said, “I think you’ve got the wrong person.” Turns out, they did have the wrong person. But instead of ending the call, Marcus asked, “What were you hoping to get from speaking to this person?” Marcus converted him into a bootcamp for cold-calling. The moral of the story? If someone has a pulse, start a conversation with them! You never know where your next opportunity will come from.

The US Government passed the Indian Removal Act of 1830 and that political decision led to U.S. military demands that the Seminole relocate to Oklahoma. The US Government accepted that it might require waging war to enforce the removal. The great Prussian military strategist Carl Von Clausewitz anticipated this contingency: "War is the continuation of politics by other means."Clausewitz warned, though, "No one starts a war -- or rather, no one in his sense ought to do so -- without first being clear in his mind what he intends to achieve by the war and how he intends to conduct." The Seminole were clear on their political objectives in opening fire on Major Dade's command to begin formal hostilities with the U.S. government: Wage war until the Army agreed to stop forced removal to Oklahoma. They would fight on the run if they had to, with hit-and-run tactics and nuisance attacks. But they would still fight. In response, the U.S. Army embarked on a punitive operation against the Florida Seminole to achieve its own political objectives by warlike means. It seemed a simple enough proposition. Engage the Seminole in a big battle. Defeat them. Remove them. Restore peace. No one in America had read how Clausewitz would have scoffed at this simple proposition. In war, he wrote, everything is simple. But the simplest things are very, very difficult to perform Removing the Seminole was only simple on paper. More than seven years later, the U.S. Army had not completed its simple mission to capture all the Seminole and deport them. It eventually gave up on 100% removal, packed up, and went home. Joining us is US Army Colonel and War College graduate JP Clark, a military historian and a military strategist. He explains how an understanding of Clausewitz could have informed officers in the Second Seminole War -- and does inform us today. Without a copy of On War in its collective haversacks to inform and guide its strategy, operations, and tactics, the Army muddled along in the Second Seminole War. Much blood and treasure might have been spared had the Army's senior officers known of and embraced Clausewitz' strategic insights. Who was Carl von Clausewitz? Clausewitz' insights continue to resonate two centuries after he penned them. His relevance to thinking about strategy remains undiminshed by time. Host Patrick Swan is a board member with the Seminole Wars Foundation. He is a combat veteran and of the U.S. Army, serving in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, and Kosovo, and at the Pentagon after 9/11. A military historian, he holds masters degrees in Public History, Communication, and Homeland Security, and is a graduate of the US Army War College with an advanced degree in strategic studies.

Colt Cabana comes by Daniel Lobell's Edinburgh flat (apartment) in Scotland at the 2018 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. They talk about Colt's career as a professional wrestler, getting into the WWE, and being fired from the WWE, which led him to doing the DIY thing. They discover together that they have a lot in common in their stories and somewhere along the line, even get into the ideas of Carl Von Clausewitz and get philosophical. Also, Daniel reveals some very big news at the beginning of the episode that you won't want to miss! With special guest Kylie Ora Lobell. Enjoy!
The confrontations that Iran is seeking in the Gulf and which include repeated attacks on civilian targets such as commercial oil tankers, Abha airport and, the ARAMCO oil installations in Saudi, are all diplomatic missives addressed to the Trump administration. Strongly-worded missives notwithstanding, but still diplomatic in their codes and frequencies. They are short of a full military escalation and yet aggressive enough to almost attain the status of an act of war. Carl Von Clausewitz, the Prussian general and military theorist, who famously said that “War is nothing but a continuation of politics with the admixture of other means” would have been delighted, no doubt. These confrontations between Iran on one side and, the US (and its Arab allies in the back) on the other, are not planned to cause serious harm but are fully intended to bring about serious dialogue. Iran sounds even more outraged after each attack, and seems to be looking for the perpetrators as if finding it hard to locate them. Its policy is as absurd as it is silly and obvious to the naked eyes, without the need for surveillance or drones recording every wave in the world' oil artery. Such shenanigans are aimed at the local audience, at the followers of the Ayatollah, and at the millions of dependents on State handouts. It is also aimed at the few dissidents to dissuade them from any act of rebellion, even the most peaceful ones, at a time when the ‘Great Nation' is under sanctions and potential attacks from the ‘Great Satan'. Like it or not, post-revolutionary Iran has defied and defined all US administrations since Pres. Jimmy Carter. The ‘bazaar diplomacy' usually tests a US President's mettle early on in his mandate and, readjusts its attitude accordingly. Like a (Persian) cat who wants to explore the extent of a watchdog's reaction and the reach if its bite. If the dog only barks, even if loudly, the cat will harass it all the way till it gets tired, bored or else. If the dog bites or comes even close to actually inflicting serious harm, the cat immediately recoils, retracts and waits for the dog to be taken off duty, and replaced by a new one. This ‘bazar diplomacy' has not wavered by an inch since 1978 and the US reaction has not disappointed in its predictability. Carter was weak and got hammered after the failed rescue operation to free the US hostages who were held in captivity for 444 days at the US Embassy in Tehran. Reagan was boastful at first before being severally humbled by the suicide bombings of the US Embassy in Beirut and the Marines' Barracks in 1983. Then, he got entangled in the scandalous Iran-Contra affair who saw his very same administration selling arms to the backer of the US hostage-takers in Beirut, namely, Iran. Bush senior was a one-term President whose policies have greatly assisted Iran in cutting Saddam to size during the First Gulf War. Clinton applied a dual containment policy on both Iran and Iraq, so his Presidency counts as a recess in the Iran - US relationship. Bush junior invaded Afghanistan and waged the Second Gulf War unintentionally (but not unpredictably) offering Iran a dual prize: getting rid of the Taliban in the South and of Saddam in the North, in one go! Iran seized the unique occasion to expand its dominion over Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, the Gaza Strip, and Yemen. But still the US -via the newly elected President- had more goodies in store for the Mullahs-backed regime. Indeed, Obama Hussein gave Iran few billions in cash and lifted all major economic sanctions for next to nothing. Ah, yes he got an agreement (not worth the paper written on it) from Iran to delay (not to scrap) its nuclear (weapons) program. Now comes Trump's turn. Will he apply the principles taught in the chapters of the “Art of the Deal” or those in the “Art of War”? I will wager on his strong inclination to doing deals and bet on his legitimate aversion for wars, whether in Crimea or in the Persian Gulf.

This podcast is the first episode of a War Room special series featuring some of history’s greatest strategists. Featured is Carl von Clausewitz, famed for his book On War (Vom Kriege) which is a staple of professional military education in the U.S. and many partner nations. This is remarkable given that the original text of On War is an unfinished manuscript published posthumously by his wife Marie. Clausewitz scholar Vanya Eftimova Bellinger and War Room podcast editor Jacqueline Whitt explore the book’s major theses and implications they present for modern scholars and practitioners of strategy.

Sir Lawrence Freedman is Professor of War Studies at King’s College and the author of numerous books and publications to include Strategy: A History. In Episode 7 of the PME podcast, we talk about strategy. What is strategy and what it is not? We trace its historical roots, and discuss how traditional views of strategy still apply or do not apply to today’s conflicts and future conflicts. Additionally, Sir Lawrence Freedman was elected a Fellow of the British Academy in 1995 and awarded the CBE (Commander of the British Empire) in 1996. He was appointed Official Historian of the Falklands Campaign in 1997. He was awarded the KCMG (Knight Commander of St Michael and St George) in 2003. Finally, he was appointed in June 2009 to serve as a member of the official inquiry into Britain and the 2003 Iraq War. Key Takeaways: “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.” -Mike Tyson •What is strategy? Strategy involves making decisions when faced with “other people with their own plans and interests.” It requires flexibility. Planning is part of strategy, but having a plan is not a strategy. “Problem solving” is a critical component of strategy. •In late nineteenth century Germany, Field Marshall Helmuth von Moltke the elder was chief of staff of the Prussian Army. He was a student of Carl von Clausewitz. As a military strategist, Von Moltke emphasized the importance of flexibility. He said, “A plan breaks down on first contact.” Additionally, Field Marshall Helmuth von Moltke saw military strategy as a “system of expedients.” •Sir Lawrence Freedman explains that American foreign policy doctrine (i.e. the Nixon Doctrine, Carter Doctrine, Bush Doctrine, Obama Doctrine) is a means of “signaling” to the world America’s priorities or intentions. It is part of strategy, but it is not itself a strategy. •Sun Tzu’s influence on strategy was based on the idea of “cunning and cleverness.” However, the flaw in strategy based on cunning is when both sides attempt to use cunning and cleverness against each other. We talk about whether countries like Russia and China use Sun Tzu’s methods to achieve their strategic aims. What are Russia’s interests? A conversation I had with Steven Lee Myers on his book The New Tsar is worth checking out to discover more on that topic. •Thucydides was the first “realist” historian. He wrote a book about the Peloponnesian War between Sparta and Athens in a book appropriately called The History of the Peloponnesian War. Sir Lawrence Freedman sites a book called Destined for War by Graham Allison. Destined for War describes a theory called the “Thucydides Trap” which is based on the idea that one power becomes fearful of the rise of another power and postulates that this might have ramifications for current and future relations between the United States and China. However, Sir Lawrence Freedman sees some flaws in this theory, and thinks that Thucydides had an interest in trying to preserve the reputation of Pericles. •We discuss whether there is something “elemental” to strategy. Sir Lawrence Freedman looked at chimpanzees and how they form coalitions and act in strategic ways. Winston Churchill (not a chimpanzee rather British Prime Minister) was good at applying the chimp-like principles of creating coalitions to achieve his strategic aims. Churchill sought to partner with President Roosevelt to get the U.S. on the allied side. When Hitler invaded the Soviet Union, Churchill sought to build a coalition with Joseph Stalin and the Soviet Union to fight the Nazis. •We talk about Napoleon and the development of strategy during the Enlightenment. Much like Thucydides rejection of the gods, the enlightenment rejected superstitious beliefs and emphasized what reason and human rationality could do to achieve strategic aims. •Two critical 19th Century strategic thinkers include the Swiss officer, Antoine Henri Jomini, and the Prussian military theorist, Carl Von Clausewitz. Jomini emphasized the “decisive battle” strategy. Meanwhile, Clausewitz focused on the policy objectives of war. Clausewitz is also famous for developing the term “fog of war,” which refers to the uncertainty and the chaos of war when it involves two competing wills, each one trying to impose itself on the other. •The challenges of military strategy. How do wars end? We talk about “The Clausewitzian Challenge”, and I allude to my previous conversation with Gideon Rose, editor of Foreign Affairs, who wrote an excellent book called How Wars End. •Finally, we talk about the strategy of the Cold War and nuclear deterrence. Sir Lawrence Freedman mentions a strategist named Thomas Schelling, who is worth studying for his contributions to strategy based on Game Theory. We discuss the “rationality of irrationality,” which refers to the necessity to use caution based on a fear that one side might act out of irrationality. •Sir Lawrence Freedman has a new book coming out in the Fall of 2017 called, The Future of War: A History. The book focuses on how people in the past have tried to predict changes in warfare and predict the future of war.

Welcome to the first episode of War For Idiots!!! In this episode, our hosts, Rich & Mick, introduce themselves and the show. They also take some time to talk about the granddaddy of military theory Big Carl von Clausewitz.
German military theorist Carl Von Clausewitz observed that many of the important variables in war exist in ‘clouds of great uncertainty' which create disconnects and confusion that persist even after the fighting has ended. The conflict between the Black Panther Party and the United States government is in ways illustrative of this phenomenon–or ‘the fog of war' as it has come to be called–and helps explain why the Party is so well known yet misunderstood. For many, the Black Panther Party exists in image fragments: bullet-pocked storefronts, raised fists, drawings of mutant-pig policemen, Huey P. Newton on a wicker throne. For others, it exists in biographies of its leaders: Revolutionary Suicide, Seize the Time, This Side of Glory, A Taste of Power, just to name a few. Historians and political theorists have weighed in as well exploring the excesses of COINTELPRO, the failures of party leaders, gender inequity, missed opportunities, failed alliances, and endless betrayals. Yet there is still much to learn. In Black Against Empire: The History and Politics of the Black Panther Party (University of California Press, 2013), authors Joshua Bloom and Waldo Martin do an excellent job of putting the movement in its historical and philosophical context as not merely a challenge to American racism, but to American empire. Joshua was kind enough to speak to us about his book. I hope you enjoy. Learn more about your ad choices.

In Black Against Empire: The History and Politics of the Black Panther Party (University of California Press, 2013), authors Joshua Bloom and Waldo Martin do an excellent job of putting the movement in its historical and philosophical context as not merely a challenge to American racism, but to American empire. Joshua was kind enough to speak to us about his book. I hope you enjoy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This myth, like all fables, does in fact have a modicum of truth. There does exist, and has existed for a generation, an international Anglophile network which operates, to some extent, in the way the Radical right believes the Communists act. In fact, this network, which we may identify as the Round Table Groups, has no aversion to cooperating with the Communists, or any other group, and frequently does so. I know of the operation of this network because I have studied it for twenty years and was permitted for two years, in the early 1960's, to examine its papers and secret records. I have no aversion to it or to most of its aims and have, for much of my life, been close to it and to many of its instruments. I have objected, both in the past and recently, to a few of its policies... but in general my chief difference of opinion is that it wishes to remain unknown, and I believe its role in history is significant enough to be known.” (“Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time” by Prof. Carroll Quigley, Page 949-950) John von Neumann (Wikipedia) Martin Luther (Wikipedia) The Early American Reception of German Idealism by James Good (Amazon) Wilhelm Wundt (Wikipedia) Thorsten Veblen (Wikipedia) Conspicuous Consumption (on Wikipedia) Vilfredo Pareto (Wikipedia) Gaetano Mosca (Wikipedia) Sociology of the Elites by Michael Hartmann (Google Books) Elite Theory (on Wikipdia) Peace Revolution episode #22 “The Best Enemies Money Can Buy / The Arch which connects 2 Pillars” Peace Revolution episode #37 “Justified Sinners / The History of Eugenics in America” “The American aborigines, Negroes and Europeans are as different from each other in mind as any three races that can be named; yet I was incessantly struck, whilst living with the Fuegians on board the ‘Beagle', with the many little traits of character, shewing how similar their minds were to ours; and so it was with a full-blooded negro with whom I happened once to be intimate” (on SCRIBD) Panopticon (on Wikipedia) Bill Clinton speaks of Carroll Quigley at 1992 DNC (on YouTube) Edmund Walsh (on Wikipedia) Georgetown University School of Foreign Service (on Wikipedia) Hour 3, minutes 45 –end: “The Descent of Man” by Charles Darwin (1871): Francis Galton (on Wikipedia) Adam Smith (on Wikipedia) CATO Institute (on Wikipedia) Marshall Fritz (on Wikipedia) Benjamin Franklin (on Wikipedia) “The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin”(1793) Thomas Edison (on Wikipedia) “Young Thomas Edison” (biographical film 1940): Niccolò Machiavelli (on Wikipedia) (Book) “The Prince” by Machiavelli (on Wikipedia) Thomas Hobbes /Leviathan (on Wikipedia) Crisis of Democracy: Report of the Governability of Democracies to the Trilateral Commission (Michael J.

This myth, like all fables, does in fact have a modicum of truth. There does exist, and has existed for a generation, an international Anglophile network which operates, to some extent, in the way the Radical right believes the Communists act. In fact, this network, which we may identify as the Round Table Groups, has no aversion to cooperating with the Communists, or any other group, and frequently does so. I know of the operation of this network because I have studied it for twenty years and was permitted for two years, in the early 1960's, to examine its papers and secret records. I have no aversion to it or to most of its aims and have, for much of my life, been close to it and to many of its instruments. I have objected, both in the past and recently, to a few of its policies... but in general my chief difference of opinion is that it wishes to remain unknown, and I believe its role in history is significant enough to be known.” (“Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time” by Prof. Carroll Quigley, Page 949-950) John von Neumann (Wikipedia) Martin Luther (Wikipedia) The Early American Reception of German Idealism by James Good (Amazon) Wilhelm Wundt (Wikipedia) Thorsten Veblen (Wikipedia) Conspicuous Consumption (on Wikipedia) Vilfredo Pareto (Wikipedia) Gaetano Mosca (Wikipedia) Sociology of the Elites by Michael Hartmann (Google Books) Elite Theory (on Wikipdia) Peace Revolution episode #22 “The Best Enemies Money Can Buy / The Arch which connects 2 Pillars” Peace Revolution episode #37 “Justified Sinners / The History of Eugenics in America” “The American aborigines, Negroes and Europeans are as different from each other in mind as any three races that can be named; yet I was incessantly struck, whilst living with the Fuegians on board the ‘Beagle', with the many little traits of character, shewing how similar their minds were to ours; and so it was with a full-blooded negro with whom I happened once to be intimate” (on SCRIBD) Panopticon (on Wikipedia) Bill Clinton speaks of Carroll Quigley at 1992 DNC (on YouTube) Edmund Walsh (on Wikipedia) Georgetown University School of Foreign Service (on Wikipedia) Hour 3, minutes 45 –end: “The Descent of Man” by Charles Darwin (1871): Francis Galton (on Wikipedia) Adam Smith (on Wikipedia) CATO Institute (on Wikipedia) Marshall Fritz (on Wikipedia) Benjamin Franklin (on Wikipedia) “The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin”(1793) Thomas Edison (on Wikipedia) “Young Thomas Edison” (biographical film 1940): Niccolò Machiavelli (on Wikipedia) (Book) “The Prince” by Machiavelli (on Wikipedia) Thomas Hobbes /Leviathan (on Wikipedia) Crisis of Democracy: Report of the Governability of Democracies to the Trilateral Commission (Michael J.

Carl Von Clausewitz was a military philosopher during the time of Napoleon. His most famous contribution is the book, On War, which outlines nine principles of war that are used in officer schools for many Western armies including the United States Army. They are: Mass"Get there first with the most"Example: Mass-based armies of Russia (ex. infantry) and the US (ex. M4 Sherman Tanks) during WWII led to general victory ObjectiveChoose an objective and stick with itExample: Coalition troops maintained the objective in Operation Desert Sabre and didn't try to do too much by entering Iraq, which we now know would have caused major problems. OffensiveSeize the InitiativeExample: General McClellan's Army of the Potomac in the American Civil War failed to seize the initiative ManeuverMove to more advantageous positionsExample: Hannibal's Army at the Battle of Cannae maneuvered around the larger Roman Army and defeated it Unity of CommandPlace your entire force under the command of a single entityExample: Japanese defenders on Iwo-Jima wasted lots of time and effort by switching commanders halfway through the preparation effort SecurityDon't let the enemy rob you of your advantagesExample: Japanese Navy at Midway lost its element of surprise (because its communications were intercepted) and lost SimplicityKeep your plans clear and simpleExample: Guerrilla militiamen (ex. Aidid's militia in the Battle of Mogadishu) have a much simpler plan that the professional armies they have to fight SurpriseAttack when the enemy least suspects itExample: Germanic tribes slaughtered 24,000 professional Roman soldiers at the Battle of Teutoberg Forest Economy of ForceAllocate your limited forces wiselyExample: Germany Army during WWII did not get immediately overrun despite a 13million-56million numerical disadvantage For more information, read: Armchair General: War College http://www.military-quotes.com/Clausewitz.htm How to Make War by James Dunnigan On War Military History Podcast is sponsored by Armchair General Magazine and the International Research and Publishing Corporation
