Reviewed by Norman Polmar
With the Soviet Union in turmoil and Passive cutbacks occurring in some asPects of Soviet military power, the intel- 'gence community struggled to prepare 1115 assessment of Soviet military strength. Although the report shows no reduction in the pace of Soviet development in certain areas—including naval 'orces—the overall message is quite clear: “The likelihood of a conflict stemming from U.S.-Soviet confrontation is °wer than it has ever been in the postwar era.”
In three areas there seems to have been "tie diminution of Soviet defense efforts: strategic forces, space activities, and the navy. This annual assessment stresses 'hat “Soviet military power still presents a threatening face. This is nowhere more °hvious than in strategic nuclear forces and strategic defense capability.” Within 'he confines of existing arms agreements, 'he Soviets have continued to modernize me*r strategic forces, including the SS-24 intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) 'n fixed and mobile versions, the mobile ^S-25 ICBM, and a new version of the SS-18 ICBM with ten warheads. These ate all “cold-launch” weapons that pro- v'de for reloading the launchers.
The report also details qualitative improvements to the Soviet bomber force, Moscow’s antiballistic missile defenses, and space programs, including systems to destroy satellites in low-earth orbit.
With respect to naval forces, the modernization of the Soviet fleet continues. In 1989, according to the report, nine submarines were completed,* the same number as the yearly average throughout 'he 1980s, but 12 surface warships (corvette and larger) were delivered in 1989— three more than the average of the past decade. And the 1989 completions included another Typhoon ballistic-missile submarine and the carrier Tbilisi (now the Admiral Kuznetsov), ships whose tonnages are far greater than those of the average submarine and surface combatant in the Soviet fleet.
The other growth areas of the Soviet Navy are mentioned—e.g., the transfer of numerous fighter-bombers from the air forces to the navy. The report gives little notice, however, of the drastic reductions of outdated cruisers, destroyers, and submarines, whose hulks now lie abandoned along the Soviet coast, waiting to follow scores of other ships already taken to the breakers.
The report cites major reductions in Soviet tank, artillery, and aircraft production, as well as the cutback in troop strength and the elimination of intermediate-range nuclear weapons.
One surprising feature of the 1990 document is a table entitled “Relative USSR/US Technology Level in Deployed Military Systems.” This full-page chart shows several changes over the previous edition, with all of the shifts now indicating improvements in U.S. systems— cruise missiles, surface combatants, mines, and communications. No explanation for these changes is given in the book, and inquiries to the Department of Defense brought vague answers about “editorial decisions” that were “based on arguing the issues of the various intelligence activities.” The 1990 table does show the United States superior in 17 categories (with some “direction” toward the Soviets in ten of those), equality between the two countries in nine (with movement toward the Soviets in four of those), and Soviet superiority in five areas of deployed systems—surface- to-air missiles, ballistic-missile defense, antisatellite systems, chemical warfare, and biological warfare.
What, then, is the bottom line of Soviet Military Power 1990? Cheney concludes: “Any serious analysis of the Soviet military reveals a picture of vigorous internal debates and uncertain intentions, as well as change and instability. What it does not reveal, no matter how much we might wish it, is an eviscerated Soviet force structure and evaporating threat. The truth is more complex than that. ... the Soviet Union remains an enormous military superpower. The intentions of that regime are changing. But intentions are not enough to support dramatic changes
Soviets continue to improve their weapon systems despite modifications in military doctrine. Some 700 BMP-3 tanks such as these were to be produced in 1990.
in our own level of preparedness.”
The body of this ninth edition of Soviet Military Power—102 pages without the index—is the “thinnest” since the first (1981), which was 99 pages; the main portion of the 1988 edition was 143 pages. The reduction in size, the use of cheaper paper, and the failure to provide decent copies of the book’s graphics to the press has saved DoD several thousand dollars, according to an announcement made when the report was released. The lack of dramatic statements, the absence of the striking graphics that were an attribute of recent editions, and the reduced size of this edition make this reviewer wonder if there will be a tenth edition.
*In 1990, the Soviets launched ten submarines: one strategic missile submarine (SSBN), five attack submarines (SSNs/SSGNs), and four diesel attack submarines (SSs). All were expected to be completed in 1991.

‘‘We Will Stand by You” Serving in the Pawnee, 1942-1945
Theodore G. Mason. Columbia, SC: University of South Carolina Press, 1990. 283 pp. Fig. Photos. $24.95 ($22.45).
Reviewed by Commander William I. Milwee, Jr., U.S. Navy (Retired)
In We Will Stand By You Theodore G. Mason describes his service as a radio man in the Pawnee (AFT-74), a fleet tug that carried out towing, salvage, and myriad other tasks in the Pacific during World War II. Other histories and personal accounts have bypassed these small, capable ships that performed such valuable service throughout that war. They went alongside burning and sinking vessels in combat zones; their crews boarded crippled ships when sensible men were leaving them; battle-damaged ships of many types survived because of them. Theirs is a great sea story—one of hardship, danger, hard work, and proud accomplishment. A worthy chronicle is long overdue. It still is.
Readers who pick up We Will Stand by
The Pawnee (AFT-74) evades torpedoes erroneously fired by PT Squadron 9 on the attack transport McCawley (AP-10), 30 June 1943.
You expecting to find a rousing sea story, a gripping tale of salvage, or a picture of life in a small ship in wartime will find none of them. Instead, they will find uneven, overwritten reminiscences of a young, highly opinionated pseudo-intellectual. Early in the book a hopeful reader wonders if Mr. Mason intended the book as a tongue-in-cheek view of a young man’s poorly informed, highly prejudiced view of the world. One looks for the revelation that when he was young, he saw the world narrowly through poorly focused eyes, but that the breadth of his vision, focus, and tolerance of imperfection improved with age. There is no such revelation.
While it purports to be the story of a fleet tug, We Will Stand by You could have been the story of any ship, for the book has little to say about the seamanship that is the mainstay of these ships. It fails to capture the tedium of long tows and the elation of a successful salvage that gives such ships and service in them special character. Even the chapter that addresses the tow of the wounded Houston (CL-81)—probably Pawnee's finest hour—has little to say about how the ship did her job and what made her special.
In his preface Mr. Mason describes the book as a personal account. As such it should enjoy a freedom from objectivity that, if skillfully exercised, can be refreshing and enjoyable. If poorly done, the results can be ruinous, as they are here.
The Australian word whinge combines the worst of whine and complain. It fits this book exactly. Mr. Mason never misses an opportunity to criticize or take a cheap shot at the Navy, other organizations, his officers, his shipmates— anyone, in fact, who is not a member of
the clique he calls by the less-than- clever-or-original name the Musketeers• The whinging prevails even in the chapKr describing the platonic love affair in AuS" tralia that seems to be obligatory in such books. He is quick to discuss and express opinions on things about which he appar' ently has limited knowledge and to state unsupported conclusions. He makes sweeping, invariably negative judgments about those in whose shoes he never walked. The negative feeling that results totally overwhelms anything of value the book may contain. It is the stuff of which dull and boring books are made. We WiN Stand by You is a dull and boring book-
In his final chapter, Mr. Mason acknowledges the value of his naval service—accepting responsibility at an early age, playing a part in history, and experiencing comradeship. He never realizes, or at least never acknowledges, however, that all of these were made possible by the traditions and methods of the Navy-" the Navy way. Neither does he recognize nor acknowledge what sailors know; namely, that the strength of the ship is the service, and the strength of the service the ship.
The men who manned the salvage ships and oceangoing tugs in World War II endured a difficult war that ranged from long, boring tows well behind the action to the heat of combat salvage- They worked hard, did a tough job, and risked much; they deserve better.
Commander Milwee retired from the Navy in 1979 following a career that centered around salvage. Subsequently, he has worked as an executive in the offshore and salvage industries and is currently a consultant in salvage, ocean engineering, and related disciplines. Commander Milwee has been a contributor to Proceedings since 1973.
T|,e Art of War
picc°Io Machiavelli. New York: Da Capo rcss, 1990. (Originally published in 1521).
■6 pp. Append. Fig. Ind. Notes. $12.95 Paper.
[^viewed by Captain Paul R. Schratz,
Navy (Retired)
Niccolo Machiavelli’s importance as a 'Jitlitary thinker is much unappreciated in hc English-speaking world, where military theory and practice are also often ■Snored. The Prince and Discourses are widely read and enjoyed; The Art of War, which Machiavelli thought his most sig- n|Ecant work, remains largely unknown.
. Book I deals with selecting and train- lng men for military service; Book II with arming and organization; Book III with 0fder of battle; Book IV with tactics and generalship; Book V with the order of niarch; Book VI with encampment, pro- V|sioning, and welfare; and Book VII "nth defense and attack on towns and for- tfesses. His outline closely follows 'fegetius’s 4th-century work by the same ’die, except for the unfortunate lack of a n°ok on naval warfare, of which Machia- Velli had little knowledge. He was shrewd enough to recognize, however, ’hat a naval officer “used to fighting the wmds and waves as well as the enemy, w*ll sooner make a good officer ashore, where he has nothing to deal with but men, than a military officer will make a good naval commander.”
Like The Prince and Discourses, The of War is a political science textbook °n the role of power in state policy. Machiavelli claimed, for example, that a ■■evolutionary ideology should be retewed every decade. Here, the reader "■ill find strong parallels in the writings pf Mao Tse-tung. Note in China the Mao- lst revolution in 1949, the political- economic upheavals and power play in ’958, the Red Guards in 1967, and the post-Mao power struggle in 1976.
And, Machiavelli was one of the few tiilitary writers of whom the renowned Karl von Clausewitz was not contemptuous, conceding his “sound judgment in military matters.” The early 19th-century Prussian army officer’s doctrines of unlimited war and war as an extension of Politics came from Machiavelli, as did his ideas on the quality of generalship, of military virtue, and of the moral factors in war. The legacy of Machiavelli appears in the oft-quoted Clausewitzian maxim: “Use one’s entire forces with the utmost energy.”
Machiavelli has also influenced American political beliefs. Thomas Jefferson kept a thumbed copy of The Art of War in his library, and adopted the idea of renewed revolutionary ideology mentioned above. John Adams, who helped build our political system on the “self-evident truths that man is good, perfectible, and can be trusted to deal justly with his fellows,” found, as president, that the contrary was true. As Machiavelli rightly stated in his preface to The Art of War, “the mass of men are actually indolent, selfish, given to luxury, short-sighted, jealous, tending to faction and to all mischievous intrigue.” Never did he find them given to virtue, choosing wisdom, seeking justice.
Thoughts like these prompt Americans to treat Machiavelli with shocked curiosity. Yet historians can cite such past American political actions as liquidating populations (the Indians), naked aggression against neighbors (Texas, Spanish Florida, and Mexico), abandoning allies (France after the American Revolution), and taking advantage of countries tom by internal strife (separating Panama from Colombia) to substantiate that judgment. As in other nations, those actions were undertaken while invoking God, moral law, and justice.
No important work on the development of Machiavellianism has yet been written in the United States. In America, as in other democratic societies today, the use of force to gain ends is the norm in internal as well as external affairs. For 1,500 years, from Aristotle to Machiavelli, politics was concerned with justice; for 500 years after Machiavelli with power. Perhaps the time has come to find the means of uniting power with justice.

The Anatomy of Error: Ancient Military Disasters and Their Lessons for Modern Strategists
Barry S. Strauss and Josiah Ober. New York: St. Martin’s Press, 1990. 288 pp.
Ind. Maps. Rec. Reading. $18.95 ($17.05).
Reviewed by Major Francis X. Bergmeistcr, U.S. Marine Corps Reserve
F. Scott Fitzgerald said, “Show me a hero and I’ll write you a tragedy.” Barry S. Strauss and Josiah Ober have done this several times in 282 pages. Heroic figures are well represented among the eight case studies here, familiar to many students of warfare. They are Xerxes, Alci- biades, Lysander, Agesilaus, Darius III, Hannibal, Jugurtha, Mark Antony, and Julian.
The leaders are young, old, aristocratic, self-made, patriotic, and scoundrels. They rule in democracies, republics, or monarchies. It is this variety, inherent in the case studies selected, that provides the reader with such a rich perspective in a single volume.
But it is not just as an appreciation of the past that this small work will find itself on so many military leaders’ bookshelves. It will earn its place in such libraries because “an understanding of the multiplicity of factors that played into past failure can nonetheless allow the strategist an oblique glimpse at the size and contours of his own cultural blinders and he can correct for what the blinders cover up by consideration of historical case studies.”
Coherently packaging these bygone rulers’ military disasters so tightly is a challenge of Herculean proportions. There are temptations to burden the reader with endless footnotes, to illustrate with maps by ancient cartographers, and to submit to overt displays of pedantic classical knowledge. But the authors have adroitly avoided these and other minor sins. As classical scholars, they have lectured and conducted seminars at the U.S. Naval War College. The economy, judgment, and attention to detail in their work have been influenced by this experience, and the result is fourfold.
First, students of the Naval War College in either the on- or off-campus program have an outstanding volume to frame Thucydides’s The Peloponnesian War and other required readings. Second, military strategists can view eight instances of the impact of ideology, culture, politics, economics, and social traditions in case studies devoid of modern emotion. Third, ancient policy and strategy are effectively linked for the modern policymaker. Finally, the Marine Corps Commandant’s Reading List will have to incorporate this book in the next annual revision by the Marine Corps University.
Strauss and Ober do not waste our time. They do not condense treatises on the phalanx and the evolution of the stirrup. They know their readers will obtain this and other tactical and technological knowledge elsewhere. They do, however, present concise information to make us better decision makers for tomorrow, and they inspire us to investigate further the complexity of past civilizations when they went to war.
A graduate of the Naval War College’s seminar program, Major Bergmeistcr is currently a logistics analyst in the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Reserve Affairs. His articles have appeared in such publications as the Marine Corps Gazette, the Canadian Reservist, and the Washington Post, among others.
