Terror begets terror, as these Viet Cong may soon discover. By his heinous conduct, the terrorist disqualifies himself from the humane treatment accorded to the captured soldier, writes the author of Modern Warfare.
Modern Warfare
By Roger Trinquier. New York: Frederick

{Lieutenant Commander White is currently a student at
the Naval War College.)
In recent years, there has been an agonizing awareness that the Free World has not yet evolved a doctrine for its own protection against Mao Tse-tung’s plans for conquest. Loger Trinquier, a retired French colonel who learned his Mao Tse-tung the hard way during the French campaign in Vietnam, in this book proposes a plan of strategy and tactics for combating Mao’s type of warfare.
Colonel Trinquier defines “modern warfare” as “an interlocking system of actions— Political, economic, psychological, military— that aims at the overthrow of the established Quthority in a country and its replacement by another regime.” He points out that this warfare differs fundamentally from wars of the Past in that combat actions by regular armed forces are of limited importance only and are never the total conflict. The objective of the forces of order is not just a few armed guer- filla bands spread across the countryside, but rather an armed, clandestine organization which must be destroyed.
As a background, the organization and operations of the National Liberation Front (F.L.N.) in Algeria are described. Terrorism as used by the F.L.N. is claimed to be the principal weapon of all modern warfare. The author draws a very necessary distinction between the terrorist, the partisan, and the conventional soldier. The terrorist, like the Partisan, fights without a uniform, but unlike either the partisan or the soldier, the terrorist attacks unarmed civilians and runs practically no risks, either from his victims or from the normal process of law. Colonel Trinquier stresses that the terrorist must not be treated as an ordinary prisoner when captured. He must be forced to give information concerning his organization, and if he refuses, he must then be forced to endure the suffering and perhaps death which he has managed to escape as a terrorist. In a word, he must be tortured.
The blueprint set forth for the conduct of modern warfare by the forces of order provides for the same interlocking operations— political, economic, psychological, and military. The last is unnecessary if the enemy organization is recognized and destroyed early enough. The political operations must begin with the recognition that, like it or not, the individual in his home is the center of the conflict; that control of the masses is the master aim of modern warfare. Colonel Trinquier’s instruments for population control are: (l)a careful census of the population and of all animals, of which the draft animals are branded; (2) the issuance of census identification cards to each inhabitant; (3) the establishment of the head of the family as the leader of the basic organizational unit; (4) the organization of an intelligence network within the populace; (5) the establishment of a governmental organization to take advantage of the intelligence network.
These instruments are to be used in conjunction with a combined police operation and propaganda effort, followed by a broad social program. The police operation would consist of frequent, enforced, systematic musters of the population, simultaneous secret interrogations, curfews, and night arrests. Propaganda is used to make the war aims clearly known to the people. After the terrorists are out of the way a generous aid and social assistance program is prescribed.
In this study of the conduct of military operations in modern warfare, the reader is reminded of Mao Tse-tung’s thesis that the support of the population is essential to the guerrilla to prevent his being taken by surprise. With this support, the methods employed against guerrillas—military outposts,
autonomous commando groups or patrols from such posts, isolated ambushes, and wide- ranging sweeps—only rarely produce the desired results, and then usually by accident. The author observes that in the Western World, “traditionally attracted by the purely military aspect of warfare—that is by the pursuit and destruction in combat of guerrilla bands on the ground—operational commanders invariably hope to succeed in maneuvering them like regular units and to gain rapid and spectacular success. They have little interest in the less noble task ... of subtle work with the population and destruction of the clandestine organization that enables guerrilla bands to survive despite local defeats the forces of order periodically inflict.”
The counter-guerrilla tactics proposed in the book start with “gridding” of the military organization to parallel the lines of civil administration followed by the establishment of “strategic hamlets” for the protection of local populations, then control, systematic muster and secret interrogations of the inhabitants, the forcing of guerrilla bands into refuge areas, and the systematic destruction of these bands. These military operations are conducted by troop units of differing sizes, assigned to different specific tasks for which they are specially trained.
In a final chapter, the author describes the methods of carrying the war into countries supporting enemy forces within a country under attack, a plan for the application of Mao Tse-tung’s own principles against the Communists. When Colonel Trinquier was in Vietnam, he was in command of just such an operation when what he terms “the regrettable Dien Bien Phu incident” occurred. Thousands of his partisans were abandoned in North Vietnam as a result of the redoubt’s fall.
The American reader will be impressed by the fact that many of the gambits being used in Vietnam today are rehashes from the days of the French, to which new dimensions of speed and bloodiness have been added without basically changing the character of the struggle—nor its outcome. Significantly, however, the French never applied the lessons of this book as a total strategy, nor is there any public indication that the government of South Vietnam, with its American advisors, is applying them. This book is certain to give the reader an uneasy feeling if he contemplates our commitment to a seemingly inevitable string of revolutionary wars, the nature of which is only dimly perceived by the majority of Americans. To the governments of the Free World and to all Americans, this book can serve both as a timely warning and as a source of enlightenment.
The McNamara Strategy
By William W. Kaufman. New York: Harper and Row, 1964. 319 pages. $5.95.
REVIEWED BY
Brigadier General S. L. A. Marshall, U. S. Army Reserve (Retired)
(General Marshall is a former Deputy Chief of Inf or- motion, U. S. Army, and the author of numerous books on military subjects.)
To begin the review of a book by questioning the propriety of its title is usually in itself an impropriety.
Selection of the best possible name is often a nettlesome bit of business between author and publisher, and inspired choices are all too rare. Witness how the list in recent years has run to “the edge” of this or that or “the anatomy” of something or other.
In this case, it is necessary to begin with the title because, paradoxically, it is both appropriate and unfitting. The implication that a civilian minister, subordinate to the Commander-in-Chief, and supposedly responsive to the Joint Chiefs of Staff in operational matters, makes the strategy of the United States is something new.
When Britain really ruled the waves, this might have been said of the Duke of Wellington after he entered the cabinet, though it was certainly not true of Lord Kitchener when he was war minister. The late General George C. Marshall, the only military professional to

serve as Secretary of Defense, would have been outraged had anyone suggested that he shaped the strategy of the nation while in that office. Yet, he was the dominant figure in the councils of strategy during World War II.
The point is stressed because what Mr. Kaufman has set forth so enthusiastically to prove is invidious. We do not have here either a serious biography nor a critical appreciation of the main military policy of the United States and its main civilian architect. What we do have is an undiscriminating eulogy of Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara in his role of master mind of the national defense.
The author is a social scientist who has Worked the outer perimeter of the military establishment for ten or so years. The publisher asserts this is a lot of experience. But the book is thick only because the author has overworked his scissors and paste pot. Secretary McNamara’s speeches, statements before Congress, and policy papers are quoted ad nauseam and repetitively. Between these inserts, Mr. Kaufman strains to prove that every McNamara utterance is prescient, original, and exactly what is needed to uplift the Pentagon and keep the nation safe.
To every critic of the Secretary and his policy, the author gives the back of his hand; errors of judgment with which other observers have charged Mr. McNamara are swept under the rug, being either ignored or dismissed with some frivolous comment. His substitution of cheer leading for serious analysis is marked in the following passage:
One journalist has even questioned darkly whether McNamara was setting up a monarchy in the Pentagon. Some writers described what they called his computer logic and lack of warmth, his supposed tendency to rely on whizz kids rather than generals, and his determination to undermine NATO.
The complaint sounds as if puppy dogs were yapping at a battleship. But thejournalist whom Mr. Kaufman scorns and leaves anonymous is Hanson Baldwin of The New York Times, a nationally respected critic for almost 40 years. The word “monarchy” was not of his making but the work of a headline writer. The other target of Mr. Kaufman’s contempt is General Thomas D. White, former Air Force Chief of Staff. He scored the “computer logic, the lack of warmth, the reliance on whizz kids.”
One chapter is styled “Dialogue with NATO.” The sense of it is that in dealing with our European partners, Mr. McNamara knows what is best for them and they are often too dull to understand. How the Multilateral Force came to be proposed, and how General Charles de Gaulle spurned it, are described in a passage that ends wistfully: “The United States, perhaps naively, had tried to be constructive.” To see where naivete lies, compare Mr. Kaufman’s lines with this entry from Atlantic Crisis by Robert Kleinman: “It is ironic now, but as late as December 1962, a few days before Nassau, Secretary McNamara tried to discourage the project. He told the NATO Ministerial Council that there was no military requirement for a NATO nuclear force.”*
Nor does Mr. Kaufman come clean in telling how Mr. McNamara scrapped the Skybolt missile. The author fails to note that the Secretary of Defense withheld knowledge of his decision from Britain so long for his own

political reasons that he almost toppled the Macmillan government. That omission also should be weighed next to Mr. Kleinman’s treatment of the subject.
As everyone now knows, we are not doing well in Vietnam. It makes us feel no better to hear from his lusty advocate that Mr. McNamara’s “approach of multiple options surely stands up well over there.” No amount of pickled language can change the record which says that Mr. McNamara’s mistakes in dealing with Southeast Asia have been personal, various, and glaring.
Toward the end, the author concedes that only full-scale war will test finally the effectiveness of Mr. McNamara’s labors. Aye, there’s the rub. If the self-evident dangers of highly centralized procurement and supply, which sweeps away margins and diminishes vigilance at lower levels, are not manifested until the emergency is total, it is then—in full-scale war—too late for repair.
Statesmen and Admirals
By Thaddeus V. Tuleja. New York:
W. W. Norton, 1963. 256 pages. $5.95.
REVIEWED BY
Commander Edward R. Day, Jr.,
U. S. Navy
(<Commander Day has recently received the degree of
Master of Arts in International Relations at The American
University in Washington, D. C.)
During the interbellum period, the principal means for implementing U. S. foreign policy in the Far East was American naval power. It is not surprising that the political atmosphere and the geographic environment of that critical area of the world arena today dictate a similar dependence on naval power. Thus, this latest book by Commander Thaddeus V. Tuleja, U. S. Naval Reserve, performs a service far more important than simply providing an academic analysis of Far Eastern naval policy during the years just prior to Pearl Harbor.
Taking full advantage of the coherency associated with a chronological approach, the author, now Professor of History at St. Peter’s College, has cleverly combined a delineation of well-documented historic facts with an examination of the naval strategic considerations and political realities of the time to produce a valuable volume that reads like an exciting novel. The author describes the manner in which Far Eastern naval policy was affected by the Washington Naval Limitations Conference of 1922, the subsequent disarmament conferences, the rise of militancy in Japan, the resultant naval arms race, and, finally, the “day of infamy” at Pearl Harbor.
The difficulty encountered in formulating an effective Far Eastern foreign policy, and therefore its military dimension, is discussed as it related to the conflicting concepts of political and naval leaders and the impact of pacifist and isolationist elements.
The author concludes that “. . . the 1930’s taught one important lesson—the best military and naval resources of a nation break down when that nation’s foreign policy lacks clarity and realism.” He reminds contemporary naval strategists of the reluctance of their predecessors to accept the aircraft carrier as the primary vehicle of naval power, and he warns navalists that fleet compositions and strategic concepts must keep pace with the rapidly developing state of the art of war for “. . . the sea is always there and someone will command it.”
Brave Ship, Brave Men
By Arnold S. Lott. New York: Bobbs-
Merrill, 1964. 272 pages. $4.00.
REVIEWED BY
Admiral Arleigh A. Burke,
U. S. Navy (Retired)
(Admiral Burke has commanded the destroyer Mugford
(DD-389), Destroyer Divisions 43 and 44, and Destroyer Squadrons 12 and 23.)
This book really needs no review, for the title encompasses everything that can be said about the gallant destroyer-minelayer Aaron Ward and her valiant crew.
Lieutenant Commander Arnold Lott, U. S. Navy (Retired), has written the saga of a fighting ship. It is written to be read by fighting men; by those who will understand why men will go cheerfully and willingly to certain death in support of their shipmates and their ship; by men who realize that battles and wars are won by brave, skillful men who fight to the last, no matter what the odds. This is a book to be read by men who go
to sea and have felt the pride of serving in, and being part of, a crew that knows what it is doing and how to do it. This, also, is a book to be read by those who wish to learn how a toan-of-war’s crew is inspired to serve its country, not only in battle but also in peace, tor the inspiration to serve must be present Just as much in peace as in war.
Aaron Ward is a name to remember. Her Crew, from commanding officer to the newest seaman second, had the devotion to duty, the sense of tradition, the discipline, and the train- tog which enabled the Aaron Ward to become a superb fighting ship. She defeated attack after attack of kamikazes while on Picket Station 10 off Okinawa on Thursday, 3 May *944, and was willing to take on more. She 'vas badly pounded and heavily damaged, and Vet she continued to fight. Her casualties were heavy, but not nearly so heavy as they would have been if she had fought less gallantly, or less skillfully.
The main story is, of course, the events of toe battle, and how the ship and her men tought their battles. But the book’s flashbacks also tell the story of individuals, their lives and toves, their fun and troubles.
All Navy men will read this book with been interest, and old-timers who were in that battle of some 20 years ago will feel a tightening in the pit of their stomach as they read. They will relive the moments of waiting and Waiting and waiting for the battle to com- toence. They will feel again the exasperation to not quite getting all the ship-to-ship radio messages. They will smell again the powder fumes and the stack gases, and the smoke of burning gear, and burned flesh. They will hear again the noises of battle, the guns, the bombs, the whine of the blowers. They will brace themselves for a sharp turn or an enemy hit.
And above all, they will remember their own shipmates and their own losses. They will remember again the men who did not come back.
For those who have not been in the Navy this book may seem repetitious. It is, for war, and even battle, is repetitious. When a ship is not in battle, the same training goes on day after day. The same watches are stood, one following closely on the heels of another; general quarters is at dawn, every dawn and again at sunset, every sunset. And in between, are more general quarters and more drills. You have heard all the stories of your shipmates, and you laugh just the same. You have eaten the same menu, day after day. The differences between the days are small.
Even in battle, events are repetitious. You pick up a bogie, he closes, you open up with all guns. You shoot him down. More bogies and the act is repeated, over and over again. The gun barrels get hot, sometimes you get hit, but you keep on fighting, repetitiously, endlessly, it seems. But finally it’s over— one way or another.
This book is the history of one brave ship and her brave men. It is accurate history. It deserves to be read.

• For the reader who seeks a view—or review—of the major events, military and otherwise, of the two World Wars, no better books are available than two recently edited and co-authored by Brigadier General Vincent J. Esposito, U. S. Army (Retired). The books are: A Concise History of World War I and A Concise History of World War II (Praeger, $6.95 each). Each volume contains 18 essays, prepared by recognized authorities and covering such themes as the coming of the war, the line-ups, the various fronts; the war at sea, war in the air, and the diplomatic aspects—before, during, and after the war. There are also useful appendixes and superb bibliographies.
• In his thought-provoking preface to the latest Jane's All the World!s Aircraft (McGraw-Hill, $42.50), Editor John W. R. Taylor comments on the status of the aircraft industry’s future—“full of foreboding”—and reiterates his annual plea for strong national aircraft industries, particularly in his own Britain. He commends the emergence of “a rich crop” of new aircraft types—theTFX, the XB-70A, and the Lockheed A-ll orYF-12; along with Miss Jacqueline Cochran’s women’s speed record of 1429.30 m.p.h. in an F-104G; and the unique photographic achievements of the satellite Ranger 7 in July 1964. This massive volume, like its 54 annual predecessors, constitutes a detailed record of current air power.
• Two recent publications are useful in keeping track of what is happening in the shipping world: John A. Culver has compiled a 56-page Ships of the U. S. Merchant Fleet (Denison Press, Weymouth, Mass., $3.00) which is a reference guide showing types and examples of merchant ships and giving a listing of American trade routes. A more elaborate book is Ocean Ships, compiled by B. Moody (published initially in Great Britain and released in the United States by Sportshelf, P. O. Box 634, New Rochelle, N. Y., $4.25). This 386-page volume lists all the world’s merchant ships— liners, freighters, and tankers. The lists are arranged by owners, and the volume, unfortunately, offers no comprehensive index. Neither of these works, however, offers the thoroughness of Eugene W. Smith’s more specialized Passenger Ships of the World (1963).
• Two brief and only moderately successful biographies of American naval officers are: Commodore Isaac Hull, U. S. N., His Life and Times (Hull Book Fund, P. O. Box 544, Derby, Conn., $10.00), compiled by Leo T. Molloy, and Pioneer and Patriot: George Cook Sweet, Commander U. S. Navy, 1877-1953 (Southern Publishing Company, Delray Beach, Fla., $10.00) by Lillian C. White. The first is an inadequately organized, but somewhat useful biography of Hull, stalwart skipper of “Old Ironsides,” and a description of his Derby birthplace. The second is a rather amateurish biography, though in some parts it is quite informative (for example, the description of Sweet’s close association with Franklin D. Roosevelt). Otherwise this is simply a labor of love about a good U. S. Navy officer who was a pioneer in naval aviation.
• From the Georgetown University Center for Strategic Studies comes Military Posture: Fourteen Issues Before Congress, 1964 (Praeger, $7.50 cloth, $4.95 paper) by James H. McBride and John I. H. Eales. This is a unique presentation of selected issues as revealed in testimony before the four major Congressional committees dealing with military affairs. The compilers of this volume have rendered genuine service by extracting meaningful testimony and organizing it in such an objective and balanced manner as to present all sides of these vital issues. If this service is repeated annually there will be no valid reason for anyone not to know what Congress hears and says on the broad subject of this nation’s military posture.
