John Lewis Gaddis, the distinguished historian and acclaimed author of The Cold War, has for almost two decades co-taught the grand strategy seminar at Yale University with his colleagues Charles Hill and Paul Kennedy. Now, in On Grand Strategy, Gaddis reflects with insight and wit on what he has learned.

'For the past 16 years Gaddis has taught a course on grand strategy to students at Yale University. Reading his book, you wish every university could offer it. Gaddis roves across the centuries, offering advice on subjects from statecraft and warfare to leading a worthwhile life' Phillip Delves Broughton,Evening Standard

Recenzii
An
extraordinary
treatise
on
the
need
to
teach
the
principles
of
sound
strategy
to
today's
leaders...
It
makes
sense
of
our
world,
but
is
also
capable
of
beautifully
crafted
pithy
historical
judgements.
...
It
is
a
book
that
cares
about
liberty,
choice
and
a
moral
compass,
that
warns
against
the
hubris
of
an
angry
Bonaparte
on
the
turn
in
a
Russian
winter,
against
leaders
who
do
not
listen
or
learn.
A
training
manual
for
our
troubled
times

A brilliant book - learned, seductively written, deep
Gaddis has indisputably earned the right to plow different fields of historical inquiry, which he does inOn Grand Strategywith self-evident glee and peripatetic curiosity
A long walk with a single, delightful mind, which makes it much easier for the reader to comprehend the lessons that cohere across continents and millennia
