Danish Troops in the Williamite Army in Ireland, 1689-91

For King and Coffers

By: Kjeld Hald Galster

About 15% of the troops that fought on the Williamite side at the Battle of the Boyne were Danish. Well organized and equipped with state of the art weapons - flintlock muskets, plug bayonets, grenade guns, and chevaux-de-frises - they were a potent weapon in William III's armory. This book looks at the Danish contingent in William's multi-national force fighting in Ireland in 1689-91. The book examines how the Danish king, Christian V, essentially hired out a portion of his army due to the deplorable state of national finances, his desire to give his troops and officers some valuable combat experience, and his support of a fellow Protestant monarch. It then follows the Danish troops through the course of their Irish campaign, and it utilizes a wide variety of sources to illuminate the leading personalities and key events of the war, as seen particularly from the Danish perspective.

The Face of the Foe

Pitfalls and Perspectives of Military Intelligence

By: Kjeld Hald Galster

Every nation that goes to war has to create images of their enemy. Through intelligence gathering and propaganda, these images are created and used to drive public support and keep soldiers fighting. At the same time, decision-makers must be provided with clear and incisive information on the opposition at hand. Frequently, these aims are mutually conflicting. Carefully balanced and used with circumspection, these images can lead to victory - but they can also drive armies to disaster and entire nations to atrocity. In this sweeping and fascinating survey - now revised and updated in light of recent developments in the war against terrorism - Kjeld Hald Galster, author of Crucial Coalition and Danish Troops in the Williamite Army in Ireland, explores how intelligence is collected and interpreted. Drawing from examples ranging from the Napoleonic Wars to the 2003 War in Iraq to the death of Osama bin Laden, he examines how military intelligence is used to create the face of the foe - and what makes it a tremendous success...or a disastrous failure.

Crucial Coalition

Anglo-Danish Military Collaboration and the Message of History

By: Kjeld Hald Galster

In the summer of 2010, a unit of Danish soldiers known as ISAF-10 deployed to Afghanistan under British command. In Helmand Province, they tried to secure a fragile peace while dealing with the challenges of training an often apparently indifferent Afghan police and army. In this remarkable book, Galster tells their story while looking at the wider picture.

Coalition Warfare

An Anthology of Scholarly Presentations at the Conference on Coalition Warfare at the Royal Danish Defence College, 2011

By: Kjeld Hald Galster,Søren Nørby,Niels Bo Poulsen

It is unquestionable that the warfare of various post-Cold War 'coalitions-of-the-willing' has drawn much attention over recent years. However, we may also notice that associations of nations fighting, or preparing to fight, for common causes are no novelty. Multi-national co-operation in fields as costly and as fateful as war depends on considerations and caveats concerning political purpose, risks, mutual trust, national wealth and pride, compatibility of military forces and a glut of inta ...
