As the tenth anniversary of the US-UK invasion of Iraq approaches, and with the findings of the Chilcot Inquiry yet to be published, public debate is likely to focus once again on the events surrounding the political decision to go to war. However, many argue that this will overshadow the most important lessons for the UK: those that can be drawn from the conduct of military operations in southeastern Iraq, in the period between 2003 and 2007. Geraint Hughes offers a timely reminder why Operation Telic must not be forgotten, surveying the British experience of the conflict in Iraq at the political, strategic and military levels.

In 1941, the very concept of a Czechoslovakian state was a parlous one: the provisions of the 1938 Munich Agreement, which had dismembered the pre-war state, had not yet been annulled. The position of the Czechoslovakian government-in-exile among the Allies was weak. The exiled president, Eduard Benes, therefore proposed a bold plan to assassinate a key Nazi leader and challenge a perception of Czech passivity under occupation. While the plan did succeed, it came at a terrible human cost. But, for Benes, it secured the pre-1938 borders of Czechoslovakia.

The conception of a ‘British Way in Warfare’ articulated by Basil Liddell Hart has had an enduring appeal. In part a reaction to the attrition strategy of the First World War, Liddell Hart offered an alternative vision of pragmatism, indirect approach and strategic manoeuvre. Though outwardly an appealing view, particularly in today's era, it does contain within it crucial deficiencies. Regardless, Liddell Hart's undisputable legacy has been sparking and framing the rich debate over British strategy ever since.

Capability-based planning has become the gold standard for defence planning. It is increasingly understood as encompassing a broad range of abilities beyond just military materiel and personnel, evolving into a much wider range of factors. It has also helped NATO defence planners adapt forces to requirements rather than fit ends to means. But there is still more to be done to improve defence planning, not least understanding the challenge posed by ‘black swans’ and guarding against presentism.

M. van Creveld
As air operations continue in Libya, the ability of air power to achieve a decisive strategic outcome, in an era of constricting defence budgets, is once again under scrutiny. Martin van Creveld traces the evolution of air power from its tentative beginnings a century ago, to its mid-century heyday, through to the present, arguing that the utility of air power has fundamentally altered over this time. Do independent air forces have a use in an age of small wars and stabilisation operations?

Abstract Five years since the 7/7 London bomb attacks and almost a decade after the 9/11 attacks in the United States, the jihadist terror threat from violent extremists has evolved in significant ways, particularly as it affects the United Kingdom. Research indicates that one wave of terrorism directed at the UK has more or less run its course. But there is powerful circumstantial evidence to indicate that another phase may soon emerge and that it may be quite different from before.
