DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Speak softly and carry a big stick" Theodore Roosevelt famously said in 1901, when the United States was emerging as a great power. It was the right sentiment, perhaps, in an age of imperial rivalry but today many Americans doubt the utility of their global military presence, thinking it outdated, unnecessary or even dangerous. In The Big Stick, Eliot A. Cohen-a scholar and practitioner of international relations-disagrees. He argues that hard power remains essential for American foreign policy. While acknowledging that the US must be careful about why, when, and how it uses force, he insists that its international role is as critical as ever, and armed force is vital to that role. Cohen explains that American leaders must learn to use hard power in new ways and for new circumstances. The rise of a well-armed China, Russia's conquest of Crimea and eastern Ukraine, nuclear threats from North Korea and Iran, and the spread of radical Islamist movements like ISIS are some of the key threats to global peace. If the United States relinquishes its position as a strong but prudent military power, and fails to accept its role as the guardian of a stable world order we run the risk of unleashing disorder, violence and tyranny on a scale not seen since the 1930s. The US is still, as Madeleine Albright once dubbed it, "the indispensable nation."

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA one-stop shop for many of the questions and concerns that cadets and junior officers have as they enter a career in the U.S. Army, the New Army Officer's Survival Guide: Cadet to Commission through Command is the advice-equivalent to a double espresso for junior Army officers; it's simple, it doesn't take long to get through, and it provides results. New Army Officer's Survival Guide: Cadet to Commission through Command comprises advice gained from the author's first-hand experiences in two separate Company Commands totaling over forty-one months paired with current Army resources and doctrine. Floeter covers many lessons that most officers learn the hard way as a means to help junior officers succeed. New Army Officer's Survival Guide: Cadet to Commission through Command provides an overview of Army ROTC, a detailed walkthrough of skills needed by Junior Officers across the Army, and a consideration of the intangible measures of successful Commanders, explaining techniques and possible leadership styles or methods to utilize in common situations. It wraps up with four Annexes: Useful gear for the field and office; officer branch and Basic Officer Leader Course information; common acronyms and phrases, and a list of each Punitive Article of the UCMJ. Levi J. Floeter combines dozens of resources into a single easily-readable volume that a cadet or junior officer can carry with them for reference. Floeter's crisp and clear writing style makes this book a great complement current to Army doctrine and regulations.
