As such, it constitutes one of the most important activities of the past two centuries; and yet during this period, it has not always been practised very effectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this book, John Stone seeks to explain why this has been the case by examining various instances of strategic practice drawn from the period between the eighteenth century and the present day. He contends that, to be truly effective, strategy must faithfully reflect the political context in which it is formulated. Where strategy has failed, it is frequently because its practitioners have paid undue attention to military-technical matters at the expense of politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47597006749932,"sku":"9781350106246","price":43.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781350106246-military-strategy.jpg?v=1777945969"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/dr-john-stone.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
