I just finished reading Margaret O'Mara's 2019 book, "The Code” - a comprehensive exploration of the United States' technological evolution. This book delved into a pivotal era where the nation aimed to demonstrate its technological and military prowess globally. The pursuit of this agenda resulted in significant research and development efforts, accompanied by substantial military expenditures. Ultimately, these endeavors propelled a California city to emerge as the worldwide epicenter of innovation and technology. The most interesting part is that, with approximately $1 million invested in building the ARPANET, in stark contrast to the approximately $24 billion spent on the space race to showcase America's scientific capabilities, the ARPANET evolved into the internet. This transformation had a more significant impact on the world's political and economic evolution than rockets and missiles combined. Very insightful read!

Does the success of military alliances ultimately depend on public opinion? Countries often fail to honour collective defense commitments. However, the influence of public views on these critical decisions remains underexplored. With newly-awarded funding from an ERC Starting Grant, Michal Smetana and his team aim to place public opinion at the centre of understanding the microfoundations of collective defense. Read more about this new research project 👉 https://europa.eu/!V3h9gVMichal Smetana is an Associate Professor at the Institute of International Studies of the Faculty of Social Sciences, Charles University, Director of the Peace Research Center Prague (PRCP), and Head Researcher at the Experimental Lab for International Security Studies (ELISS). #EUfunded #FrontierResearch #ERCStG #military #alliances #collective #defense #public #opinion #research #HorizonEuropeEU Science, Research and Innovation

Truly honored to welcome back General David H. Petraeus, US Army (Ret.) to The One Way Ticket Show podcast. The General is a prominent commentator on contemporary security issues, military developments and global affairs, widely respected as a leading warrior intellectual.He graduated with distinction from the US Military Academy and earned a PhD from Princeton University. He served in the US Army for thirty-seven years, concluding his time in uniform with six consecutive commands as general officer, five of which were in combat, including command of the Surge in Iraq, US Central Command, and the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan. He then served as the director of the CIA.The General has held academic appointments at six universities and is a senior fellow and lecturer at Yale University. He is currently a partner in a major investment firm and chairs that firm’s Global Institute.The General is also a brilliant author. His latest book,Conflict: The Evolution of Warfare from 1945 to Ukrainereleased at the end of 2023 and is a must read. He co-wrote it with noted biographer and historian Andrew Roberts. It’s published by Harper, an imprint of Harper Collins. In our conversation, General Petraeus discusses:1. Israel’s war against Hamas and why Gaza poses a challenging situation more so than any other urban operation since the end of 19452. The release of Israeli hostages3. The four tasks of strategic leadership4. How lessons of war are institutionalized5. The danger of lack of Western resolve on the world stage6. How what happens in one part of the world reverberates in another7. The importance of soldier morale8. Warfare of the future and the technology he’s following.Here's the link to our interview: https://bit.ly/4d5ReuaAs for the General’s very creative answer to where he’d go if given a one way ticket (which I ask all my guests), please listen to my interview with him onepisode 268from August 2022.#book #bookrecommendation #greatreads #history #conflict #warfare #military #internationalrelations #petraeus

As a part of my PhD research on the Medak Pocket, I reacquainted myself with this superb telling of the story by Carol Off While there is much within the book, one aspect struck me as relevant to today: who learned what For the CAF, a tremendous amount was learned from these days of 'combat peacekeeping' that emerged as the Soviet Union crumbled leaving chaos in regions they once controlled or influenced. The most significant changes made from lessons observed are central to the CAF today: - instilling the importance of understanding and caring for those with operational stress injures while in uniform- CAF leadership tempering political aspirations for participating in Peacekeeping missions purely for political gains or objectives- Establishing strategic command and control - as unpleasant is might seem to some on operations - over it's people and their operations to not only support preparations and mission conduct, but to butress CAF members from political interference For the Government of Canada, very little was gleaned from those days. While the list is long, principal among them is disconnected political ambition from national security, defence, and military needs. Sadly, it is not the politicians who suffer from this disconnect, but those at the front line trying to do their best with what the Government provides Those observations - and many more - aside, the Ghosts of Medak Pocket provides an unflinching view of the human dimension of military operations and combatA must read for those interested in Canadian military history, the history of peacekeeping, the human dimensions of combat, or the effects of disconnected national- and strategic-level decision making on those asked to serve
