The Second Nagorno-Karabakh war - fought between Armenia and
Azerbaijan between September 24 and November 10, 2020
face=Calibri>- was the first war in history won primarily by
unmanned systems. This 44-day war resulted in a decisive military
victory for Azerbaijan. Armenia was outfought, outnumbered, and
outspent and lost even though they controlled the high ground in a
mountainous region that favored traditional defense. Azerbaijan's
alliance with Turkey, and close technological support from Israel,
strategically isolated Armenia. In addition, Turkey's posturing
influenced the Russians not to intervene to support Armenia. That
Azerbaijan attacked Armenia during the pandemic was an additional
factor. The fact that Azerbaijan won the war is not extraordinary,
considering the correlation of forces arrayed against Armenia. What
is exceptional is that this was the first modern war primarily
decided by unmanned weapons. In this war the Turkish-made BAYRAKTAR
TB2 Unmanned Air Combat Vehicle (UCAV) and the Israeli-made HAROP
Loitering Munition (LM) dominated the fighting and provided
Azerbaijan with a war-winning advantage.
The odds were against the Allies on June 6, 1944. The task ahead of
the paratroopers who jumped over Normandy and the soldiers who
waded ashore onto the beaches, all under fire, was colossal. In
such circumstances good leadership can be the defining factor in
victory or defeat. This book is about the extraordinary leadership
of seven men who led American soldiers on D-Day and the days that
followed. Some of them, like Eisenhower, Theodore Roosevelt Jr, and
Lieutenant Dick Winters, are well known while others are barely a
footnote in the history books. All of them made a dramatic
difference during Operation Overlord. All understood that they had
a mission to accomplish and that if they failed to lead that
mission would fail and more men would die. When things did not go
as planned, they took action, adapted and overcame - they were
leaders. Leadership was the only ingredient that would get them
through the storm of death surrounding them and their men. This
book is not a full history of D-Day, nor does it cover the heroic
leadership shown by men in the armies of the Allies or members of
the French Resistance who also participated in the Normandy assault
and battles for the lodgment areas. It is, however, a primer on how
you can lead today, no matter what your occupation or role in life,
by learning from the leadership of these seven. A critical task for
every leader is to understand what leadership is. Socrates once
said that you cannot understand something unless you can first
define it in your own words. This book provides the reader with a
means to define leadership by telling seven dramatic, immersive and
memorable stories that the reader will never forget.
