Strategy and History: Essays on Theory and Practice de Colin S. Gray

Strategy and History: Essays on Theory and Practice: Strategy and History

Autor Colin S. Gray
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 apr 2006
Strategy and History comprises a selection of Professor Gray's key contributions to strategic debate over the past thirty years.
These essays have been selected both because they had significant messages for contemporary controversies, and because they have some continuing relevance for today and the future. Each essay in this book is really about strategy in the modern world, and reflects the many dimensions of this complex subject.
This book covers a wide range of subjects and historical events, but there are key issues covered throughout:
  • being strategic
  • the consequences of actions
  • a respect for Clausewitz’s theory of war
  • historical dependency
  • the importance of geography
  • being critical of enthusiasm for technology over human factors 
  • the primacy of politics.
This important publication provides an invaluable insight into the development of strategic studies over the past 30 years from one of the world's leading theorists and practitioners of the subject. The book will be of great interest to all students  and analysts of strategy and international studies.

Recenzii

'Makes significant contributions to both the history and the theory of RMA ... this provocative integration of historical record and theoretical framework extends Professor Gray's record of distinguished contributions to the field of security studies.'

- Comparative Strategy
'It is a capital idea to have all these essays published together for they contain much wisdom. Admittedly, this reviewer is an admirer of Dr. Gray’s work, but the importance of the ideas he addresses in this series of essays collected over 30 years should give much food for thought even to less impressed readers.' Dr Stephen Blank, Parameters
