Holistic Command of War
The Nature and command of the available forces; inter-organizational coordination; coherence between politics, strategy, operations and tactics; and finally, time. Wellington, Spínola and Petraeus led the effort of vast civilian and military teams that, at different periods of history and in distinct geographical settings, had the opportunity to apply a holistic command using, to varying degrees, the above four dimensions. What they achieved from the experiences they led, and the doctrines they used, from what the reality on the ground showed to them and from the concurrent political decisions that were imposed on them, limiting their own political and strategic action, is all an important part of this comprehensive study. By studying the applicability in the situations of Wellington, Spínola and Petraeus, it was possible to extrapolate a general theory about the holistic command of war. One that is masterfully presented for discussion in this work.
Os Resistentes - O Poder do Sacrifício Humano no Combate ao Invasor
Um livro profundamente humanista e surpreendente, escrito por um militar com larga experiência no terreno e conhecedor dos conflitos que grassam pelo mundo. Testemunha direta do sofrimento causado pela guerra, mas também da capacidade de abnegação do ser humano em situações-limite, o major-general Nuno Lemos Pires recorre a vários exemplos ao longo da História – desde as guerras púnicas aos conflitos mundiais do século XX, passando pelas invasões napoleónicas e por casos bem recentes de resistência, como os de Timor e da Ucrânia – para realçar as principais caraterísticas dos combatentes mais inconformados e estabelecer pontos em comum entre os homens e as mulheres que, ontem como hoje, se rebelaram contra o avanço dos invasores. Uma reflexão envolvente sobre o poder galvanizador das ideias de nação, de comunidade e de família, enquanto valores defendidos pelos resistentes até às últimas consequências e, em simultâneo, um manifesto contra a indiferença generalizada pelos dramas vividos em guerras distantes.
Portugal's Bush War in Mozambique
A new account of how Portugal fought a bush war in Mozambique for over a decade. Portugal fought a bush war in Mozambique — one of the most beautiful countries in the world — for over a decade. The small European nation was ranged against formidable odds and in the end was unable to muster the resources required to effectively take on the might of the Soviet Union and its collaborators—every single communist country on the planet and almost all of Black Africa. Yet, Al Venter argues, Portugal did not actually lose the war, and indeed fought in difficult terrain with a good degree of success over an extended period. It was radical domestic politics that heralded the end. Mozambique is once again embroiled in a guerrilla war, this time against a large force of Islamic militants, many from Somalia and some Arab countries, and unequivocally backed by Islamic State and the lessons of Mozambique’s bush war are still relevant today.
