About This Item
New York: Cambridge U. P., 1999. reprint. Nice Copy. octavo. stiff wrappers xiv + 680pp., maps, index, Moving beyond the limited focus of the individual strategic theorist or the great military leader, The Making of Strategy concentrates instead on the processes by which rulers and states have formed strategy. Seventeen case studies; from the fifth century B.C. to the present, analyse through a common framework how strategists have sought to implement a coherent course of action against their adversaries. This fascinating book considers the impact of such complexities as the geographic, political, economic and technical forces that have driven the transformation of strategy since the beginning of civilisation and seem likely to alter the making of strategy in the future.
