Summary

Grand Strategy from Truman to Trump explores the evolution of American foreign policy, challenging the common focus on domestic influences. Benjamin Miller develops a comprehensive theory of grand strategy that identifies the key security options available to US leaders in both wartime and peacetime. Drawing on empirical evidence from post-World War II to the present, the book argues that external factors largely shape US international strategy rather than internal political concerns.

Description

American foreign policy is the subject of extensive debate. Many look to domestic factors as the driving forces of bad policies. Benjamin Miller instead seeks to account for changes in US international strategy by developing a theory of grand strategy that captures the key security approaches available to US decision-makers in times of war and peace.

Grand Strategy from Truman to Trump makes a crucial contribution to our understanding of competing grand strategies that accounts for objectives and means of security policy. Miller puts forward a model that is widely applicable, based on empirical evidence from post-WWII to today, and shows that external factors—rather than internal concerns—are the most determinative.
