Recenzii

Journal of Terrorism and Political Violenceby Andrew T.H. Tan, University of New South Wales, Sydney Australia (April 1, 2009)"The massive volume, with some 32 chapters, appears unwieldly but there are genuine gems.  Divided into five parts, it begins with an examination of the history of armed groups.  The second part examines the present context and environment, with the aim of clarifying the "driving factors that animate the challenges of armed groups today" (p. xvii).    . . .   The third part examines religion as an inspiration ... The fourth section is an analytical section that Norwitz has titled "Thinking Differents About Armed Groups."  ... Finally, the last section examines the shape of things to come.   , , , The book is recommended not only for researchers, but also for advanced classes, in which it should generate plenty of discussion."

FOREWORD
 
Stansfield Turner
 
 
It is gratifying to see the stimulus which the faculty of the NavalWarCollege is continuing
to provide to both the College and the Navy as a whole. In this instance, it is Professor
Jeffrey Norwitz of that faculty who has prodded both institutions to think about how
warfare has migrated from being between states to being between states and armed
groups. Understanding how to deal with this growing dimension of warfare is critically
important today. Jeffrey Norwitz has helped us to do that by bringing together a diverse,
eclectic group of thinkers on contemporary war.
     It is also gratifying to see the continuing support of the Naval War College Foundation
for such projects. The Foundation has played, and does play, an important role in encouraging
original thinking on naval matters. As President of the College some years ago,
I found the Foundation’s support invaluable for projects that were too exploratory to
qualify readily for governmental funding. Yet exploring frontiers is essential in any
profession.
     Armed groups are challenging us on many fronts today. In dealing with them,
though, we must not become so narrowly focused as to lose sight of our democratic principles
and morals. We must not stoop to the tactics of opponents in combating them. For
instance, it is tempting to invade the privacy of our citizens with surveillance in the name
of detecting terrorists. If this is done other than under legal procedures and strict controls,
we will lose our cherished right to individual privacy. We will have won only a Pyrrhic
victory. This has to be a concern deserving the attention of both our civilian and
military leaders.
     Thinkers about naval matters must be able to step back from the pressures of
day-to-day decision-making. They must place what the Navy should be doing now in the
larger context of what the Navy must be able to do and sustain over the long run. That
means not making compromises to meet deadlines or to please superiors at the expense
of ethical principles.
     Since at least Mahan’s day, it has been one role of the NavalWarCollege to make up
for that by being on the cutting edge of naval strategy and tactics, free from more pressing,
immediate concerns. Mahan’s impact on our Navy was enormous. Jeffrey Norwitz’s
voice and the voices of his contributors deserve to be listened to carefully today.
