An Instinct for War

scenes from the battlefields of history

By: Roger J Spiller

Spiller combines a mastery of the primary sources with a vibrant historical imagination to locate a dozen turning points in the world's history of warfare that altered our understanding of war and its pursuit. We are conducted through profound moments by the voices of those who witnessed them and are given a graphic understanding of war, the devastating choices, the means by which battles are won and lost, and the enormous price exacted. Spiller's attention to the sights and sounds of battle enables us to feel the sting and menace of past violent conflicts as if they were today's.

"Not War But Like War"

The American Intervention in Lebanon

By: Roger J. Spiller

This study began in August 1979 as a series of notes for a lecture on the employment of contingency forces at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College. The lecture was intended to serve as a historical introduction to the subject, using the 1958 American intervention in Lebanon as a case in point. It was thought that by analyzing the Lebanon intervention one could demonstrate several important lessons: how political and diplomatic objectives directly affect the character of modern military operations; how an operational military plan is conceived and what evolutions it endures before it is executed; how such plans, though they appear to anticipate every operational problem, are usually unequal to the realities of operational practice; and, finally, how valuable a quality mental agility can be when put to use by a military commander and his subordinates. Interestingly, most of the literature dealt with the Marines if of it took notice of military operations at all.

The U.S. Intervention in Lebanon

The U.S. Intervention in Lebanon

By: Spiller J. Roger,David W. Gray

This book includes Roger J. Spillers "Not War But Like War: The American Intervention in Lebanon" and Major General David W. Grays "The U.S. Intervention in Lebanon, 1958: A Commanders Reminiscence.""Not War, But Like War" offers insights that are readily applicable to todays military planners at all levels. The disparity between the political purpose and the military objective of intervention will illustrate why national and service level planners must carefully describe what is to be accomplished by theater military forces. Theater and tactical level commanders and planners will be reminded that the nature of joint operations demands detailed preparation of command and logistical arrangements and concerted operations. Finally, the study demonstrates that responsive contingency planning also depends upon a process that promotes both participant dialogue and repetitive review in order to lessen the dangers of provisionalism.In "The U.S. Intervention in Lebanon" General Gray provided answers to specific questions about logistics, as well as his recollections of the Lebanon operation and a critique of "Not War But Like War." His manuscript not only contained a detailed and candid account of his activities, but amplified, elaborated, and sometimes disputed Dr. Spillers work. In this sense, it is both an important eyewitness account and a companion piece to "Not War But Like War." The reader of both publications will benefit from being able to draw upon the scholarly work of a trained historian and the memoir of an actual participant. The historical record could not be better served.
