Alone on Guadalcanal : A Coastwatcher's Story
by Allan R. Millett
Publisher: Naval Institute Press
Pub. Date: March 2004
From the Publisher
Martin Clemens survived countless missions behind Japanese lines in
one of the most unfriendly climates and terrains in the world before
emerging from the jungles of Guadalcanal with his Melanesian
commando force to join U.S. Marine Corps operations. For this
memoir, the legendary British coastwatcher draws on a journal he
kept during the war to present a unique perspective of the Solomons
campaign and the Marines who directed it. Clemens's accounts of
harrowing long-range patrols and life on the run from shadowy enemy
agents and treacherous islanders combine with a critical analysis of
the campaign to make a significant contribution to Pacific war
literature.

Military Innovation in the Interwar Period
by Williamson Murray (Editor), Allan R. Millett (Editor), Williamson
R. Murray (Editor)
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Pub. Date: August 1998
From the Publisher
In 1914, the armies and navies that faced each other were alike down
to the strengths of their companies and battalions and the designs
of their battleships and cruisers. Differences were of degree rather
than essence. During the interwar period, the armed forces grew
increasingly asymmetrical, developing different approaches to the
same problems. This study of major military innovations in the 1920s
and 1930s explores differences in innovating exploitation by the six
major military powers. The comparative essays investigate how and
why innovation occurred or did not occur, and explain much of the
strategic and operational performance of the Axis and Allies in
World War II. The essays focus on several instances of how military
services developed new technology and weapons and incorporated them
into their doctrine, organization, and styles of operations.

War for Korea, 1945-1950: A House Burning
by Allan Reed Reed Millett
Publisher: University Press of Kansas
Pub. Date: October 2005
From the Publisher
When the major powers sent troops to the Korean peninsula in June of
1950, it supposedly marked the start of one of the last century's
bloodiest conflicts. Allan Millett, however, reveals that the Korean
War actually began with partisan clashes two years earlier and had
roots in the political history of Korea under Japanese rule,
1910-1945.
The first in a new two-volume history of the Korean War, Millett's
study offers the most comprehensive account of its causes and early
military operations. Millett traces the war's origins to the
post-liberation conflict between two revolutionary movements, the
Marxist-Leninists and the Nationalist-capitalists. With the
U.S.-Soviet partition of Korea following World War II, each
movement, now with foreign patrons, asserted its right to govern the
peninsula, leading directly to the guerrilla warfare and terrorism
in which more than 30,000 Koreans died. Millett argues that this
civil strife, fought mostly in the South, was not so much the cause
of the Korean War as its actual beginning.
Millett describes two revolutions locked in irreconcilable conflict,
offering an even-handed treatment of both Communists and
capitalists-nationalists. Neither movement was a model of democracy.
He includes Korean, Chinese, and Russian perspectives on this era,
provides the most complete account of the formation of the South
Korean army, and offers new interpretations of the U.S. occupation
of Korea, 1945-1948.
Millett's history redefines the initial phase of the war in Asian
terms. His book shows how both internal forces and international
pressures converged to create the Korean War, a conflict that still
shapes the politics of Asia.
This book is part of the Modern War Studies series.

War to Be Won: Fighting the Second World War, 1937-1945
by Williamson Murray, Allan R. Millett, Allan R. Millett
Publisher: Harvard University Press
Pub. Date: May 2000
From the Publisher
In the course of the twentieth century, no war looms as profoundly
transformative or as destructive as World War II. Its global scope
and human toll reveal the true face of modern, industrialized
warfare. Now, for the first time, we have a comprehensive,
single-volume account of how and why this global conflict evolved as
it did. A War To Be Won is a unique and powerful operational history
of the Second World War that tells the full story of battle on land,
on sea, and in the air. Williamson Murray and Allan R. Millett
analyze the operations and tactics that defined the conduct of the
war in both the European and Pacific Theaters. Moving between the
war room and the battlefield, we see how strategies were crafted and
revised, and how the multitudes of combat troops struggled to
discharge their orders. The authors present incisive portraits of
the military leaders, on both sides of the struggle, demonstrating
the ambiguities they faced, the opportunities they took, and those
they missed. Throughout, we see the relationship between the actual
operations of the war and their political and moral implications. A
War To Be Won is the culmination of decades of research by two of
America's premier military historians. It avoids a celebratory view
of the war but preserves a profound respect for the problems the
Allies faced and overcame as well as a realistic assessment of the
Axis accomplishments and failures. It is the essential military
history of World War II-from the Sino-Japanese War in 1937 to the
surrender of Japan in 1945-for students, scholars, and general
readers alike.
