By 1752, there was a garrison on Letort Creek at what is today Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania. In those days, Carlisle Barracks lay at the western edge of the American colonies. It was a bastion for the protection of settlers and a departure point for further exploration. Today, as was the case over two centuries ago, Carlisle Barracks, as the home of the U.S. Army War College, is a place of transition and transformation. In the same spirit of bold curiosity that compelled the men and women who, like Letort, settled the American West, the Strategic Studies Institute (SSI) presents The Letort Papers. This series allows SSI to publish papers, retrospectives, speeches, or essays of interest to the defense academic community which may not correspond with our mainstream policy-oriented publications.

  • He Who Dares Wins Across the Pyrenees to Freedom
    He Who Dares Wins Across the Pyrenees to Freedom Diary of Chanan (Hans) Flörsheim 1943/44 Translated from the German version by Dieter Heymann Publisher of the German Version: Hartung-Gorre Verlag Konstanz 2007 Important stations on the escape across the Pyrenees of Chanan Flörsheim in 1943/44. PREFACE During World War Two some 875 persons reached the British Mandate of Palestine as refugees from the Iberian peninsula1. Following the disembarkation in Haifa of a few hundred passengers from the Portuguese ship “Nyassa” on February 1, 1944 it took until October 1944 before certain bureaucratic roadblocks on the part of Great Britain were overcome and another transport of Jewish refugees left Cadiz for Palestine. This time it was the “Guiné” which also sailed under the Portuguese flag. On board was Hans/Chanan Flörsheim born on April 2 1923 in Rotenburg on the Fulda, who had fled with his parents in 1933 from this town to Leipzig. His parents sent the boy in May 1937 to relatives in Amsterdam where they considered him safe from Nazi persecution. Beginning in March 1943 Chanan went into hiding2 in Holland. He used the alias of Hendrik Westerman. He had a falsified identification paper3. Next Chanan lived in France under the guise of a German-impressed Dutch laborer and finally, during a fourth try, he succeeded in reaching life-saving freedom by crossing the Pyrenees to Spain. After the surrender of France to Germany in June 1940 tens of thousands of refugees from Central Europe had tried to reach destinations outside Europe via the Iberian Peninsula.

He was succeeded by Sir Brooks Richards. 20. Tony Geraghty, Who Dares Wins: The Story of the Special Air Service. 1950-1980 (London, 1980), pp. 144-52. First deployed for deep patrol action in Malaya, 22 SAS was subsequently active in most of Britains post-war counter-insurgency campaigns. It now provides Britain's "National Response Team" against any threat which is beyond the capacity of normal police methods and armaments. 22 SAS is organized with a Headquarters and Signal Squadron and four Sabre Squadrons, each consisting of about 80 men in four troops. The total establishment of 22 SAS is probably between 350 and 400 men. The regiment is self-contained and airmobile. High performance is ensured by a rigorous selection and training program lasting some seven months. With the exception of a small command and training cadre the regiment consists entirely of volunteers from other regular regiments. 21.

III Dissertation Advisor: Roger Owen Author: Asher Aviad Orkaby The International History of the Yemen Civil War, 1962-68 Abstract The deposition of Imam Muhammad al-Badr in September 1962 was the culmination of a Yemeni nationalist movement that began in the 1940s with numerous failed attempts to overthrow the traditional religious legal order. Prior to 1962, both the USSR and Egypt had been cultivating alliances with al-Badr in an effort to secure their strategic interests in South Arabia. In the days following the 1962 coup d'état, Abdullah Sallal and his cohort of Yemeni officers established a republic and concealed the fate of al- Badr who had survived an assault on his Sana’a palace and whose supporters had already begun organizing a tribal coalition against the republic.

Genève, le 8 juillet 2004 Le doyen Pierre ALLAN Impression d’après le manuscrit de l’auteur ii ABSTRACT War is a puzzle because, if states were rational, they should agree on their differences in power and reach a solution that avoids the costs of fighting. However, this thesis argues that states are only as rational as the men who lead them, who are well established to suffer from psychological “positive illusions” about their abilities, their control over events, and the future. I examine the effects of positive illusions on four turning points in twentieth-century history: two that erupted into war (World War I and Vietnam); and two that did not (the Munich crisis and the Cuban Missile crisis). In the two crises, I show that positive illusions were held in check, and thus avoided war.
