New Simons Center Director

Retired Ambassador Edward Marks assumed the duties as director of the Simons Center in August 2012. “I am honored for this opportunity to work with the Simons Center, especially now that the Center’s focus on interagency coordination is so central and important to American foreign policy and military strategy,” Marks said. “‘Whole-of-Government’ is not a pat phrase, but reflects the important contribution that the CGSC Foundation directly, and through the Simons Center, can make to the U.S. government in general and the Command and General Staff College in particular.” Retiring as a Senior Foreign Service Officer (Minister-Counselor) in 1995, Ambassador Marks has since engaged in consulting and writing, primarily on terrorism, interagency coordination, United Nations affairs, and complex international emergencies. Recalled to active duty in 2002- 2005 he served as the Department of State’s advisor on terrorism to the United States Pacific Command. He has been a member of the advisory council of the Simons Center since 2010. Marks joined the Foreign Service in 1956 with early assignments primarily in Africa. His senior positions include Ambassador to the Republics of Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde, the Department of State’s Deputy Coordinator for Counterterrorism, Visiting Senior Fellow on terrorism at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), Deputy Chief of Mission in Sri Lanka, Deputy United States Representative

y E d M a r ks tes y to the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations in New York, and Senior Fellow at the National Defense University. He has been widely published and recently co-authored the book U.S. Government Counterterrorism Programs: Who Does What. cou r Ph oto

In 1976 he left to command I Corps (ROK/ US) Group, the Korean-American field-army-size forma- tion defending the Western Sector of Korea’s DMZ. As Commandant, General Cushman oversaw the devel- opment for student use of “First Battle,” a two-sided wargame. Adapting it as “Korea First Battle,” with com- manders from corps to regiment directing their own forces against attackers organized and thinking like their North Korean adversary, and with participation by USAF and ROK air forces, he exercised the defending commanders and their staffs in real time air/land wargames of their actu- al war plans, the first of their kind. These exercises gave commanders an experience of war without fighting. It led to lessons learned. At a time when political leaders were considering the removal of U.S. ground forces from Korea, these wargames showed how essential those forces were. Retired from the Army in 1978, Lt. Gen.

A Nation Forged in War: How World War II Taught Americans to Get Along by Thomas Bruscino; 256 pages; illustrations; notes; bibliography; index; University of Tennessee Press, 2010. Available on amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com - hardback- $39.95; kindle- $31.95.

World War II shaped the United States in profound ways, and this new book--the first in the Legacies of War series- -explores one of the most significant changes it fostered: a dramatic increase in ethnic and religious tolerance. A Nation Forged in War is the first full-length study of how large-scale mobilization during the Second World War helped to dissolve long-standing differences among white soldiers of widely divergent backgrounds. Extensively documented, A Nation Forged in War is one of the few books on the social and cultural impact of the World War II years. Scholars and students of military, ethnic, social, and religious history will be fascinated by this groundbreaking new volume.

Thomas Bruscino is an Associate Professor in the School of Advanced Military Studies of the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. He is the author of several works including “Out of Bounds: Transnational Sanctuary in Irregular Warfare.”

The Road to Rainbow: Army Planning for Global War, 1934-1940 by Henry G. Gole; 256 pages; maps; notes; bibliography; index; U.S. Naval Institute Press, 2002. Available (hardcover only) on amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com - from $40.00.

Using primary sources from the Army War College, the Naval War College, and the National Archives, including mate- rials discovered years after the publication of the official histories of World War II known as the “Green Books,” Gole shows that the United States was prepared intellectually from the mid-1930s to mobilize people and things for another world war. Gole counters the accepted historical wisdom that military planning for war with Germany and Japan only began when U.S. security was threatened with a forceful body of evidence indicating that the U.S. Army planned for coalition warfare as early as 1934, and specifically for a simultaneous two-ocean war with a Nazi Confederation and Japan in 1935, 1936, and 1937.

Co-published with the Association of the U.S. Army, this work for the first time fully discloses the extent of the Army’s strategic planning, carried out at the Army War College in coordination with the Army’s General Staff. The Army’s joint and combined military options became known as the Rainbow Plans. The author’s findings will cause readers to reconsider long accepted “truths” about military planning before World War II and to reevaluate some of the now fifty- year-old findings of the Green Books.

Henry G. Gole, Col., USA (Ret.), Ph.D., fought in Korea as an enlisted rifleman and served two tours in Vietnam as a Special Forces officer. He has taught at West Point, the U.S. Army War College, the University of Maryland, and Dickinson College. He is the author of “Soldiering: Observations from Korea, Vietnam, and Safe Places” and “General William E. DePuy: Preparing the Army for Modern War.”

U.S. Presidents and the Militarization of Space, 1946-1967 by Sean N. Kalic; 224 pages; appendices; notes; bibliography; index; Texas A&M University Press, 2012. Available on amazon.com - $40.00.

In the clash of ideologies represented by the Cold War, even the heavens were not immune to militarization. Satellites and space programs became critical elements among the national security objectives of both the United States and the Soviet Union. Between 1953 and 1967 Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson all saw nonaggressive military satellite development, as well as the civilian space program, as means to favorably shape the international community’s opinion of the scientific, technological, and military capabilities of the United States. Kalic’s reinterpretation of the development of U.S. space policy, based on documents declassified in the past decade, demonstrates that a single vision for the appropriate uses of space characterized American strategies across parties and administrations during this period.

Sean N. Kalic is an associate professor in the Department of Military History at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, Fort Leavenworth, Kan. He holds a Ph.D. from Kansas State University.

40 - CGSC FOUNDATION NEWS www.cgscf.org The Sulu Arms Market- National Responses to a Regional Problem by Lino Miani; 244 pages – paperback only; figures; tables; abbreviations/acronyms list; bibliography; index; Institute of Southeast Asian Studies, 2011. Available on amazon.com - paperback $36.48; Kindle $34.66.

Situated in a remote area long a historical buffer zone between competing political entities, the Sulu Arms Market is an illicit market of a typical form in that it is both a source and a destination for less-than-legal guns. What makes the Sulu market unique is its longevity, which is measured in centuries. In modern times, guns from the area supply conflicts and crime from Japan to Sri Lanka to Papua New Guinea and beyond; and in turn the world pours guns and ammunition into Mindanao, the Maluku (Molucca) Islands, and to a lesser extent, Malaysia and the rest of the Philippines. Like most black arms pipelines, the Sulu Arms Market is intertwined with piracy, terrorism, and the traffic of other illicit commodities. Criminal gangs, communists, Moro independence groups, and Islamic militants are all major players in the market, making it a security problem for at least five member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

Maj. Lino Miani is a U.S. Army Special Forces officer with more than seven years of special operations experience in Asia, Africa and the Middle East. He is a graduate of the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College and holds a Master’s of Interagency Studies from the University of Kansas he obtained in the inaugural class of the Special Operations Interagency Studies Program. He also has a Master’s in Strategic and Defense Studies from the University of Malaya in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

General Mark Clark: Commander of U.S. Fifth Army and Liberator of Rome by Jon B. Mikolashek; 272 pages; Casemate, 2012. Available on amazon.com- $21.75; and barnesandnoble.com- $22.23.

Although not nearly as well known as other U.S. Army senior commanders, Gen. Mark Clark is one of the four men-along with Eisenhower, Patton, and Bradley-who historian Martin Blumenson called “the essential quartet of American leaders who achieved victory in Europe.” The brutal Italian Campaign has been long overshadowed by D-Day and the campaign across France and into Germany. Likewise, the senior U.S. commander in Italy has been largely overlooked when one thinks of the great captains of the war. Mikolashek remedies this situation, shedding much needed historical light on one of America’s most important fighting generals in this “warts and all” biography. It also demonstrates the importance of the Italian Campaign, paying tribute to the valorous soldiers of U.S. Fifth Army and their Allied comrades.

Jon Mikolashek, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor of History for the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College. He previously worked for the United States Army Center of Military History, Contemporary Studies Branch, researching and writing on the war in Afghanistan and Iraq. He earned his masters degree in United States History from James Madison University in 2004 and his Ph.D. from Florida State University in 2007. His educational and publishing background includes the American experience in World War II, World War I, and the War on Terror. He has taught American history courses at numerous universities and colleges.

A recent bestseller, Cain at Gettysburg has been hailed by critics as “magnificent” and “surpassing Michael Shaara’s clas- sic The Killer Angels.” A gritty, rigorously accurate account of America’s most-famous battle, the novel brings to life the famed combat actions, but also portrays the challenges for commanders who lacked sleep, maps, adequate staffs and sound intelligence—and had to deal with difficult subordinates. Told through the eyes of famed generals and forgotten enlisted men, this novel also highlights the vital roles played by immigrants from Ireland, Germany and Poland on this great battle- field.

Ralph Peters is the author of 28 books, ranging from writings on strategy to prize-winning novels. Currently Fox News’ Strategic Analyst, as a journalist, researcher or Soldier he has worked in numerous conflict zones, including Iraq, Israel during the 2006 war, Pakistan, the Caucasus, sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America.

Willbanks; 534 pages; figures; tables; charts; tables; abbreviations/acronyms list; bibliography; index; ABC-CLIO, 2011. Available at amazon.com (hardcover-$85.00; Kindle- $68.00) and barnesandnoble.com (hard- cover-$76.50)

America’s Heroes: Medal of Honor Recipients from the Civil War to Afghanistan pays tribute to Americans who have demonstrated uncommon valor in the face of great danger. The Medal of Honor recipients featured in this book all acted heroically to earn this highly coveted award, many of them by risking—or sacrificing—their lives to save the lives of oth- ers. The stories of these individuals—chosen to reflect the wide diversity of ethnic and cultural backgrounds, branches of service, and conflicts of the recipients—will broaden readers’ understanding and appreciation of the Medal of Honor and the distinguished Americans who have received it.

In addition to the gripping stories of these heroic Americans, this unique encyclopedia includes an introduction that chron- icles the evolution in the award’s significance. The Medal of Honor has changed greatly over the last 150 years, not only in the design of the physical decoration itself, but also in terms of the qualifying criteria for the award’s recipients.
