 The Army Medical Department 1865-1917: In the Shadow of War
The rate at which the warring nations in Europe had been buying up medicines and equipment made it difficult for production to keep up with demand, and 80 percent of the surgical instruments used in the United States were of German manufacture.
The overseas hospitals that might be needed in the event of a colonial war experienced their share of difficulties, many of which could also have been cured by granting more money to improve or enlarge the facilities.
Some militia physicians, apparently unable to believe in the adequacy of the camp hospital because their equipment was scanty in comparison to that of civilian facilities, set up field hospitals for their sick and injured, though this move jeopardized the mobility that was the reason for the field hospital's existence.

 In the Shadow of War: The United States Since the 1930s: The Independent Review: The Independent Institute
Fictional wars became staple against poverty, illicit drug use, disease, and so forth, while “national security” grew to become a broad, continuous defense of the nation on a global scale against sustained, sometimes unseen, and shifting threats.
War would become the most important means of legitimizing the activist and coercive role the state assumed at home (pp.
Much of what we routinely attribute to the Cold War alone was thus forged in the 1930s, including the institutional connections of a powerful military establishment and the civilian executive leadership.

 Guide page: "War Without End, Part One"
The last Shadow war nearly ended in defeat when the command center, a Minbari space station, was destroyed by Shadow forces.
On the other hand, perhaps the non-destruction of the Shadows in the last war wasn't a matter of military strength after all; perhaps the Shadows hid somewhere such that they were impossible to wipe out.
It was also a very devastating war, and one of their mistakes was that there were those who were entrusted to keep the past, sort of a more advanced version of storytellers, who put all their data in one basket, as it were...very possessive and jurisdictional.

 USS Clueless - A victory in the shadow war
Perversely, now the exact opposite argument has appeared: since the war against al Qaeda is clearly going very well, we obviously don't need to attack Iraq.
While the boasts about ten more rising and so on are unrealistic, and while al Qaeda itself is clearly on the ropes and staggering badly, it is true that the conditions which spawned al Qaeda still exist, and that new terrorists will arise.
Those conditions must be changed before the "war against terrorism" can really be won, and the hot war in Iraq is an essential part of that process.

This example best illustrates how shadow material, during times of prolonged stress, is activated and manipulated to serve the needs of the leader.
The destruction of Iraq´s civilian infrastructure, the bomb-shelter massacre of hundreds of women and children, the bulldozing and burying alive of Iraqi troops, and the aerial slaughter of soldiers and Asian workers fleeing Kuwait are just several examples of the violence that was perpetrated against this out-group.

 Blogs for Bush: The White House Of The Blogosphere: Book Review: Shadow War   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Perhaps the biggest fallout of success in fighting the war on terror is the inability for Americans to see the successes as they happen.
This explains quite well why Richard Miniter's book is titled Shadow War and why this book is so important for people to read in order to understand how we are winning the war on the terror, and America's growing partisanship and complacency towards terror is an unfortunate byproduct of that success.
Shadow War is an incredible book which will enlighten the reader to just a few of the successes of the war on terror that never made the headlines.

 The Shadow War- by Justin Raimondo
I refer, of course, to the war on terrorism, which, we've all been informed, will be a "generational" struggle, the outcome of which is uncertain — and, what's more, its history is fated to remain in the shadows until long after it's all over.
There is the infamous case of Jonathan Pollard, whose betrayal of U.S. secrets led to the execution of an unknown but not small number of American agents inside the Soviet Union during the Cold War era.
I have been saying for quite a while now that the "war on terrorism," in which "you're either with us, or against us," as our president puts it, is a lot more complicated than that — it is, at the very least, a three-sided conflict.

The Regent, acting under the control of the Shadows' allies on Centauri Prime, has rendered the planet defenseless against the attack by ordering the ships stationed in orbit to go elsewhere in response to a fake emergency, and by deactivating the automated defense systems.
But the Minbari ambassador returning home to consult with her government just after the start of a war would hardly appear suspicious, and given Sheridan's obvious concern for her safety, an escort could easily be justified even if she were simply returning home to deliver a status report or receive new instructions.
For the shadow vessels, you need a fast reaction, independent-thinking cpu of a higher order...also because a shadow vessel is a hell of a lot more advanced and complex than a Centauri cruiser.

 H-Net Review: Thomas W. Zeiler on In the Shadow of War: The United States since the 1930s
Living under this "shadow of war" resulted in the "militarization" of American society, according to historian Michael S. Sherry.
The Cold War institutionalized the military-industrial-scientific establishment and codified consensual politics, security ideology, and conformist societal relations, thus preventing civilian leaders from escaping the war paradigm.
Sherry hopes that the post-Cold War Clinton years have ended the inward turn of militarization, which sapped the nation of creativity, resources, and inspired leadership for six decades.
