| Summary/Abstract |
With the current focus on expeditionary operations, it may seem strange to revisit old Cold War scenarios in staff rides. There is, of course, no anticipation of a return to large-scale East - West confrontation or industrial war. Nevertheless, United Shield derived a set of timeless lessons and raised many intriguing questions about war fighting and international cooperation in campaigns. Major General Melvin gives a first-hand account of the issues and debates stirred up by the exercise.

| Summary/Abstract |
Decisions surrounding Britain's involvement in Afghanistan continue to be the subject of heated debate among policy-making and military circles. Far from apportioning blame, argues Mungo Melvin, a constructive assessment of the decisions made on Afghanistan will provide useful lessons for the future of Britain's strategy-making.

| Summary/Abstract |
Many saw Russia's annexation of Crimea in March 2014 as a throwback not only to the Cold War, but to earlier memories of Russian imperialist aggression. In such a heated climate, it is essential to understand not only the strategic calculations of contemporary Russia but also its historical, cultural and emotional links to a region that has, for centuries, been at the heart of Russian national identity. Mungo Melvin brings to life this longstanding relationship in a historical, literary and military journey through the birth and struggles of Sevastopol, Crimea's iconic citadel on the Black Sea shores.

| Summary/Abstract |
Following his retirement from the British Army, marked by a valedictory lecture at RUSI in November 2011, Mungo Melvin continues to reflect on the political-military relationship in the making of British strategy. He argues that successful strategy can only be achieved through the responsible exercise of political primacy, based on politically aware - never partisan - professionally robust military advice.
