Sinopse

Norway Defense Spending examines the complexities of Norway's commitment to military modernization in the 21st century, specifically focusing on the economic realities behind naval upgrades and the F-35 fighter program. The book delves into the escalating costs of advanced military technology, highlighting how the Norwegian frigate program exceeded 100 billion kroner. It also explores the trade-offs between technological superiority and fiscal responsibility in defense planning, a crucial consideration for any nation balancing its national security needs with resource allocation.

 
The book progresses by first establishing the historical and economic context of Norwegian defense policy, including Norway's long-standing relationship with NATO. It then analyzes the frigate program's costs and strategic rationale before comparing naval spending to the F-35 acquisition. This approach allows for a nuanced understanding of the choices and challenges inherent in modern defense planning.

 
Norway Defense Spending ultimately questions whether current investments provide optimal value for money and proposes alternative defense strategies, offering valuable insights for policymakers, defense analysts, and anyone interested in national security and international relations.

1811 German Coast Uprising and...

Editors Charles River

As the issue of slavery roiled the country, few people became as controversial or consequential as Nat Turner, who was one of millions of slaves in the South before the Civil War but ultimately led the nation’s most notorious slave uprising. In August 1831, Turner led a rebellion that terrorized Virginia for several days, killing dozens of whites and freeing slaves as his band moved from plantation to plantation. The Richmond Enquirer reported, “A fanatic preacher by the name of Nat Turner (Gen. Nat Turner) who had been taught to read and write, and permitted to go about preaching in the country, was at the bottom of this infernal brigandage. He was artful, impudent and vindicative, without any cause or provocation, that could be assigned.” Even after the uprising was put down, Turner evaded capture for a few months, and after he was captured, his “confessions” were taken down and published before he was executed. Virginia would put a total of 56 slaves to death for the uprising.
While Turner’s rebellion remains famous today, a far larger uprising took place a generation earlier. In January 1811, hundreds of slaves in Louisiana attempted to make a new beginning for themselves or die trying. Armed with muskets, cane knives, and axes, and wearing stolen United States militia uniforms, they set out to conquer the city of New Orleans. The goal was to establish a free republic where slavery was outlawed and blacks had control over their own lives. Understandably discontented with their status and no longer willing to accept it, they were ready to engage in extreme violence to win their freedom. Despite being unsuccessful in overthrowing the system, the German Coast Uprising showed a level of organization, leadership, and coordination unseen before by slaves in America, and it was totally unexpected by white owners and officials, which made it a precursor to its much more famous successor.
