From direct rule to motorman: adjusting British military strategy for Northern Ireland in 1972 / Bennett, Huw   Journal Article
Bennett, Huw Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2010.
Summary/Abstract The British campaign in Northern Ireland in the early 1970s is often portrayed as consistent in its repressive character and its failure to successfully relate military means to political ends. This article argues that British military strategy was adaptable, alternating between defensive and offensive means depending on the changing political context. The low profile policy allowed the army to consolidate a firm basis for later offensive operations against the Provisional Irish Republican Army (PIRA). This proved successful because it contrasted with Republican violence and was contextualized within the government's willingness to negotiate and compromise when necessary.

Restructuring the eastern frontier: Henry I of Germany, 924-936 / Bachrach, David S   Journal Article
Bachrach, David S Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract The military achievements of Otto I of Germany (r. 936-973) tend to overshadow those of his father Henry I (r. 919-936). It was the first king of the Saxon dynasty, however, who established the foundations of the German Empire. One important development was the creation of a defense-in-depth against Hungarian raiders between the Saale and Elbe rivers. From the mid-920s through the mid-930s, Henry I secured this region through the construction of dozens of fortifications with garrisons able to interdict hostile forces. This study traces the steps by which Henry achieved his military aims, and discusses how the study of military affairs illuminates the administration of the Ottonian kingdom.
