Authors: Mark L. Jones; 4616King's College London, London, UK
Abstract: War in History, Ahead of Print.
The British 2nd Independent Parachute Brigade should be characterised as elite due to its adaptability. An advanced level of training made paratroopers into high-quality, elite soldiers who were able to adapt both during an operation and between operations. This adaptation was successful during its period of offensive actions, specifically Operations Hasty, Dragoon, and Manna. The piece contributes to the military effectiveness debate through an analysis of a single elite unit. It further challenges the overemphasis of studying Second World War British airborne operations in North-Western Europe alone, adding to the underdeveloped study of the Mediterranean theatre's Allied airborne units.

Authors: Joshua Roling; Vanderbilt University, Nashville TN, USA
Abstract: War in History, Ahead of Print.
This article proposes that Paul Fussell's body of scholarship, while ostensibly anti-war, ironically romanticizes the experience of suffering in war. While many scholars have suggested that Fussell uses his own biography to explicate the First World War, this essay argues that Fussell's oeuvre creates a class system based on those who have suffered in battle and those left ignorant of the realities of battle to reclaim the social status he lost during his time in the army and at war. Ultimately, Fussell class system limits the voices capable of producing scholarship related to war and reduces the conceptual potential of war literature criticism.

Authors: Huy Trieu Ha; University of Management Technology, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Abstract: War in History, Ahead of Print.
This article examines the diplomatic relations between the Republic of Vietnam and the Philippines throughout the Vietnam War, which took place from 1965 to 1973. It uses untapped source materials from the Vietnam National Archives Centre 2, in conjunction with secondary sources, to chronologically narrate and analyse the events of this relationship. The article posits that Saigon attempted to secure the assistance of friends, such as the Philippines, but Manila was unsuccessful in adequately establishing and sustaining its relationship with South Vietnam. There are two significant historical phases of this connection, organized in chronological order. During the first period, from 1964 to 1968, the Republic of Vietnam actively utilized Manila's support through Philippine Civic Action Group and Southeast Asia Treaty Organization. This involved accepting non-combatant Filipino personnel in South Vietnam. During the second phase (1969–1973), Saigon viewed Manila's response with suspicion as Marcos established ties with communist-led states and withdrew itself from the Vietnam conflict. Saigon attempted to strengthen the relationship by acknowledging the military withdrawal of the Filipino armed forces and requesting Manila's recognition of the legitimacy of the Republic of Vietnam. Saigon also sought Manila's support in attaining full membership in Association of Southeast Asian Nation. However, Manila's excessive reliance on US foreign policy led to a lack of policy stability, which significantly impacted Manila's foreign policy and worsened the Saigon–Manila relationship throughout the Vietnamization era.

Abstract: War in History, Ahead of Print.
This article explores the portrayal of Royal Navy submarines, their crews, and depot ships in the Illustrated London News during the Second World War. Through an examination of this newspaper, it argues that Britain was shown to have a technologically advanced and potent submarine service. The coverage in the ILN was not only partly didactic but also reassuring, demonstrating to the newspaper's readers that Britain and its allies were capable of winning the war. The ILN was thus a conduit through which the nation's morale could be boosted by helping to instil a sense of pride and confidence in the country's submarine service's capabilities.

Abstract: War in History, Ahead of Print.
The Cold War was not merely an international diplomatic and military conflict; it was a ‘total war’, demanding that the US government mobilize the consent of all Americans to counter the Soviet Union. From 1958 to 1962, the US Air Force and its contractors conducted a public relations campaign in Nebraska for the first-generation Atlas ICBM. Publicizing the Atlas was key to both its purpose and context: to create a credible deterrent, to reassure the US public after the shock of Sputnik, and to convince average Americans to accept nuclear missiles in their midst.

Abstract: War in History, Ahead of Print.
The article describes the presence of women in the armies of the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. These armed forces differed from the European military as there was a small proportion of women accompanying the soldiers. The differences did not disappear until the following century. The duties normally performed by women were fulfilled by ‘camp servants’, and military law strongly fought against any form of female presence, with the exception of soldiers’ wives and tradeswomen.

Abstract: War in History, Ahead of Print.
The 1853 capture of Aq Masjid was a decisive moment in Russia's Central Asian expansion, acting as a springboard for further advances. Traditionally seen as a response to Khoqandi raids on Qazaqs under Russian protection, this article challenges that view and emphasises the impact of internal instability within the Khoqand Khanate. Russia strategically exploited civil strife and political fragmentation that had weakened Khoqand's leadership. Archival materials, including Qazaq intelligence documents, Russian military correspondence, and Khoqandi chronicles, reveal that the campaign was less a reaction to raids and more a calculated move to capitalise on Khoqand's internal divisions.
