Critique of Inner Leadership
The ability to defend in a democracy requires justification because this form of government is fundamentally based on the freedom, development, and diversity of its citizens. Since the outbreak of the Ukraine war in 2022, we know that we can no longer afford the self-satisfied luxury of not being able to defend ourselves. Armed forces in a democracy are, however, tied to commitments and attitudes, just as the goal of achieving defensibility is tied to the Inner Leadership of the Bundeswehr. The goal of this book is to find the axioms of Inner Leadership that do not require further justification, which will then serve as the foundation for democratic armed forces. The author first develops a ...
NATO
Obsolete, brain dead, a failure in Afghanistan - NATO has never had to deal with such massive criticism. The timing is anything but good: in the new world disorder, Russia and China are challenging the West, international terrorism is on the rise, while democracy is in retreat around the world. Even in member states of the transatlantic alliance, the seductive lure of authoritarianism is increasing. Nevertheless, there is no reason to fear that NATO's success story has come to an end. NATO is not some old-fashioned military alliance that crumbles when member states' interests diverge. Rather, it is a political alliance in which sovereign states further develop their national interests into a...
NATO and the Baltic Approaches 1949–1989
The theme of the book is the creation of tactics for littoral warfare – as opposed to the more common blue ocean perspective. Themes are how NATO perceived the goals of the enemy; the purposes of the NATO organisations, the military instruments they had to organise, the organization of cooperation among units from sovereign states, and how they tested their military capabilities. Research is based on war plans and tactics of the Danish and West German navies and their planned support from air forces. We follow the modernisations of the navies from guns to missiles. Tactical discussions among military top offi cers are laid bare, and intelligence reports about the Warsaw Pact and its military capabilities are presented. Exercises are analysed based on the military reports.
Fighting Gigants
How can Germany, Poland, and Sweden turn pathological militias into sources of strength given the looming threat of Russian hybrid war? Since 2014, it became clear Russia envisioned a cold-war, sphere of influence policy on its periphery. These three countries have a rich paramilitary history, but except for Poland, few politicians have seriously considered their role outside of crises. The Crimean annexation provided impetus for further defense innovation in Central Europe where the three states offered differing political and military cultures to build upon.
NATO-Planungen für die Verteidigung der Bundesrepublik Deutschland im Kalten Krieg
Der Überfall Russlands auf die Ukraine am 24. Februar 2022 rückte auf einen Schlag die Landes- und Bündnisverteidigung in den Fokus der deutschen Politik sowie der deutschen Bevölkerung. Es besteht weithin Einvernehmen darüber, dass die Bundeswehr das Rückgrat der konventionellen Verteidigung in Europa werden soll, wie es bereits im Kalten Krieg der Fall gewesen war. Der Blick zurück in die damaligen Verteidigungsplanungen trägt dazu bei, sich Klarheit über das neue Kriegsbild sowie über die erforderliche Ausrüstung und Ausbildung der Bundeswehr zu verschaffen. Der Autor wertet die scharfen Einsatzpläne der NATO aus, die bis vor kurzem noch strikter Geheimhaltung unterlagen. Er b...
Anaram - Boundless Light
Anaram is an Afghan girl whose name means Boundless Light. One morning, in the turmoil of the Afghanistan conflict in the 2000s, she is seriously injured and receives first aid from German Bundeswehr soldiers. Anaram's father is fighting on the Taliban side and arrives at the scene together with two other Taliban fighters. By chance, the situation is captured by a war reporter. The resulting photo goes on to win the prize for best war photograph of the year. In a series of fictional short stories, the author sketches the personal and emotional backgrounds of the protagonists. The lamenting mother who fears losing her last child to the war. German soldiers who have left their civilian lives for an overseas deployment where they are involved in violent skirmishes and suffer physical and psychological injuries. Taliban and the inhabitants of a valley who are trying to survive somewhere in northern Afghanistan. The book was published in German in 2022 and translated into English by Katie Truslove.

Strategy and the Military
One facet of a future military science would lie in giving advice to the political leadership on the strategic orientation of the state in questions of long-term se curity and a second facet in the scientific underpinning of military operational command. Both task qualities would have to be thought of as an organic unity because the escalation chain for controlling vital threats in an emergency ranges from advice on the strategic purpose to operational implementation planning to tactical implementation, and frictions can only be avoided, at least to a large extent, if both strategic advice and operational implementation re main in one hand. Military science sees itself neither in competition...
