The Military and Society THE MILITARY AND SOCIETY The Military History Symposium is sponsored jointly by the Department of History and the Association of Graduates, United States Air Force Academy 1972 Military History Symposium Steering Committee Colonel Alfred F. Hurley, Chairman Major Ronald R. Fogleman, Executive Director Captain Donald W. Nelson, Deputy Director Lieutenant Colonel Monte D. Wright Major David MacIsaac Captain Frederick L. Metcalf THE MILITARY AND SOCIETY The Proceedings of the Fifth Military History Symposium United States Air Force Academy 5-6 October 1972 Edited by Major David MacIsaac, USAF Office of Air Force History, Headquarters USAF and United States Air Force Academy Views or opinions expressed or implied in this publication are those of the authors and are not to be construed as carrying official sanction of the Department of the Air Force or of the United States Air Force Academy. PREFACE The series of United States Air Force Academy military history symposia began on 4 and 5 May 1967 with the first symposium devoted to an examination of “Current Concepts in Military History.” From that early beginning, several things emerged that were to be of great importance to the success of the series. First and foremost, perhaps, was the level of interest that was generated among top scholars in the field. Participating in the initial symposium, for example, were such established scholars as Theodore Ropp, Michael Howard, Harry L. Coles, Richard D. Challener, Louis Morton, Walter Millis, Peter Paret, and Frank Vandiver. The pro- ceedings of that first symposium, regrettably, were never published, the disparate nature of the discussions leading potential publishers to shy away from the project and the significance of the event not having yet been fully comprehended, even by those responsible for the inception of the series. The papers delivered at the second symposium, held on 2-3 May 1968, together with the subsequent comments of several officers who had participated in the events discussed, were published privately by the Academy in 1969 as Command and Commanders in Modern Warfare. The success of this initial publishing venture led the Office of Air Force History, in conjunction with the Government Printing Office, to begin regular publication of the series. Volumes that have appeared to date are as follows: Command and Commanders in Modern Warfare, 2d, enlarged edition, edited by Lt. Col. William Geffen, Washington, USGPO, 197 1, $1.60, stock number 0874-0003. Science, Technology, and Warfare: Proceedings of the Third Military History Symposium, 8-9 May 1969, edited by Lt. Col. Monte D. Wright and Lawrence J. Paszek, Washington, US- GPO, I97 1, $1.25, stock number 0874-0002. Soldiers and Statesmen: Proceedings of the Fourth Military History Symposium, 22-23 October 1970, edited by Lt. Col. Monte D. Wright and Lawrence J. Paszek, Washington, US- GPO, 1973, $1.60, stock number 0870-00335. By the time of the fourth symposium in October 1970, the series had come to enjoy the reputation of being the preeminent regular gathering of military historians in the western world. Publication of the various proceedings played a major part in this developing reputation. The present volume consists of the papers, revised and annotated for publication, and the discussion sessions of the fifth symposium, held on 1 5-6 October 1972. As these lines are written, planning for the sixth symposium in the series, “The Military History of the American Revolu- tion,” 10-1 1 October 1974, is well underway. Publication of the proceed- ings of the Sixth Military History Symposium is schcduled for 1976 as a contribution to thc celebration of the nation’s bicentennial. The symposia are intended to serve a number of purposes. First, they provide ;t forum for scholars in military history and related fields, subject matter in which thc Academy obviously has a special interest. Second, by bringing distinguished scholars to the Academy, the symposia provide a link between the scholars and the military professionals not only of the Academy faculty but of the faculties of the other academies, staff colleges, and war colleges who regularly attend. More prosaically, the members of the Academy’s humanities and social science faculty are kept abreast of developments in their fields of special competence, while cadets are en- couraged to a continuing interest in the background of their chosen profession. Finally, with the participation of scholars who do not look upon thcmsclves primarily as “military historians,” but who are competent in fields that impinge on military affairs, the field of military history is itself enriched. Achievement of this final goal may well be the gauge against which the success of the present volume may be judged. Those who participated in the symposium are identified in the final section of this volume. The Department of History and the Association of Graduates, USAF Academy, thank them, once again, for their individual and collective labors. In addition to the participants, the symposium re- quired the combined efforts of a number of individuals and organizations. The active participation of the Superintendent of the Academy, Lieutenant General A. P. Clark, and of the Dean of the Faculty, Brigadier General William T. Woodyard; the warm encouragement of the Commandant of Cadets, Major General Walter T. Galligan; the logistical miracles of the Academy staff, under the Chief of Staff, Colonel Mark E. Wilt; and the financial support of the Association of Graduates are gratefully acknow- ledged. Within the Department of History, the symposium was truly a departmental undertaking: everyone was involved, directly or indirectly, with the countless administrative and logistical details. The Executive Director for the symposium, Major Ronald R. Fogleman, and his able deputy, Captain Donald W. Nelson, carried the brunt of the load, aided immensely by the secretarial staff of Miss Marjorie Burton, Mrs. Carolyn A. Stamm, and Mrs. Virginia Hill, without whose patience and many kindnesses this volume could not have appeared. The 15th Harmon Memorial Lecture in Military History, The End of Milirarisni, by Professor Russell F. Weigley of Temple University, has been published separately by the Academy. Because it did double duty as the keynote address for the symposium, it is reprinted here. D. M.

This article investigates the Democracy in Europe Movement 2025 (DiEM25) and its leadership’s main speeches. Informed by both discourse theory and Michel Foucault’s work on parrhesia (veridiction), the analysis draws on readings of transnational Euroalternativism and populism, pointing out the conflicting logic of bringing them together at the transnational level. Our findings thus stress the increasing politicization of European integration as an opportunity to mobilize transnational activities, which are based on the populist ‘people vs. the elites’ dichotomy and against Brussels’ unaccountable elites (see FitzGibbon & Guerra, 2019), while indicating the limits of leadership in a populist transnational movement (de Cleen, Moffitt, Panayotu, & Stavrakakis, 2019; Marzolini & Souvlis, 2016). Keywords discourse analysis; Euroalternativism; leadership; parrhesia; power relations; transnational populism Issue This article is part of the issue “Leadership, Populism and Power” edited by Cristine de Clercy (Western University, Canada).

By David Holden Professor Theodore A. Wilson, Advisor The U.S. Army officer corps experienced an intellectual revolution following the experience of WWI that fundamental altered the relationship between man and machines in war. As a result, officers failed to develop the technology gene and began to think of war as being inherently quantitatively and technological based. This dissertation examines the relationship between technology and the U.S. Army and Navy officers specifically between 1900-1925. Furthermore, the treatise addresses the role of Frederick Taylor and the rise of scientific management within the U.S. Army and Navy. iii Acknowledgements In writing this dissertation, I received invaluable assistance and support from a number of people and organizations.

  • THE BRITISH ARMY in the LOW COUNTRIES, 1793-1814 By
    ‘FAIRLY OUT-GENERALLED AND DISGRACEFULLY BEATEN’: THE BRITISH ARMY IN THE LOW COUNTRIES, 1793-1814 by ANDREW ROBERT LIMM A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY.

ABSTRACT The history of the British Army in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars is generally associated with stories of British military victory and the campaigns of the Duke of Wellington. An intrinsic aspect of the historiography is the argument that, following British defeat in the Low Countries in 1795, the Army was transformed by the military reforms of His Royal Highness, Frederick Duke of York. This thesis provides a critical appraisal of the reform process with reference to the organisation, structure, ethos and learning capabilities of the British Army and evaluates the impact of the reforms upon British military performance in the Low Countries, in the period 1793 to 1814, via a series of narrative reconstructions. This thesis directly challenges the transformation argument and provides a re-evaluation of British military competency in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars.

  • Patrick Henry
    LIBERTY UNIVERSITY PATRICK HENRY: THE SIGNIFICANCE OF HARMONIZED RELIGIOUS TENSIONS A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE HISTORY DEPARTMENT IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN HISTORY BY KATIE MARGUERITE KITCHENS LYNCHBURG, VIRGINIA APRIL 1, 2010 Patrick Henry: The Significance of Harmonized Religious Tensions By Katie Marguerite Kitchens, MA Liberty University, 2010 SUPERVISOR: Samuel Smith This study explores the complex religious influences shaping Patrick Henry’s belief system. It is common knowledge that he was an Anglican, yet friendly and cooperative with Virginia Presbyterians. However, historians have yet to go beyond those general categories to the specific strains of Presbyterianism and Anglicanism which Henry uniquely harmonized into a unified belief system. Henry displayed a moderate, Latitudinarian, type of Anglicanism. Unlike many other Founders, his experiences with a specific strain of Presbyterianism confirmed and cooperated with these Anglican commitments. His Presbyterian influences could also be described as moderate, and latitudinarian in a more general sense. These religious strains worked to build a distinct religious outlook characterized by a respect for legitimate authority, whether civil, social, or religious. This study goes further to show the relevance of this distinct religious outlook for understanding Henry’s political stances. Henry’s sometimes seemingly erratic political principles cannot be understood in isolation from the wider context of his religious background. Uniquely harmonized

  • Remarks by Professor Richard Perham Following His Installation As Master, 5 January 2004
    Remarks by Professor Richard Perham following his installation as Master, 5 January 2004 President, fellow Johnians, On the 6th of November last year, the Fellows of this College paid me the highest compliment of my academic life by electing me to the Mastership. The declaration I have just made requires me to do all in my power to secure the good government of the College as a place of education, religion, learning and research, and to observe all the statutes. It has not escaped my notice that the declaration made by a Fellow on being admitted to his or her Fellowship requires him or her also to observe the statutes - but the important qualification ‘all’ is omitted. No doubt historians of the College will be able to enlighten me as to the reasons for this difference in the declarations - meanwhile I shall continue to work on the assumption that Fellows are not at liberty to pick and choose among the statutes they observe! What are we to make of this College of ours as we embark on a new calendar year in what is still almost a new century? St John’s is not a grand College, but it is a great one, unique I believe in Cambridge and Oxford. The difference, I put it to you, is an important one that has been with us for almost 500 years. It is not something of which we need be, or should be, embarrassed. We trace our foundation back to the largesse of the Lady Margaret Beaufort, mother of King Henry VII, but we owe much to Bishop (now Saint) John Fisher, her spiritual adviser and companion.
