No Substitute for Victory: Successful American Military Strategies from the Revolutionary War to the Present Day

David Rigby

4.9/5 (26738 ratings)

Description:An important look at how America has won its wars in the past and how it can continue winning in the future.Is there a recipe for military success? In War Strategies, author David Rigby grapples with this issue and determines that, in the case of the United States, there are a number of different strategies which have brought victory in battle to American forces over the years.In a clear, energetic prose, Rigby explains how the dropping of chocolate bars from airplanes over Berlin turned out to be one of the most successful applications of the Cold War strategy of containment. He argues, too, that far from being a radical change in policy by a desperate President Lincoln, the Emancipation Proclamation was in fact an essential part of Lincoln’s plan to reunite the nation. While the focus in War Strategies is on military maneuvers that have been successful, the Vietnam War is used here a touchstone for comparison purposes on how not to fight a war. While the writing of military strategy is a crowded field, Rigby’s approach is unique in that he draws examples from conflicts throughout American history; from the Revolution up through the modern-day. Rigby’s ability to find similarities in—and draw conclusions from—the successes attained by American forces in battles as seemingly dissimilar as Gettysburg and Midway makes War Strategies essential reading for anyone interested in the riveting history of our nation’s military.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
