Military Strategy

A global account of military strategy throughout history, from imperial strategies to those of anti-imperial insurgents

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description
A global account of military strategy, which examines the practices, rather than the theories, of the most significant military figures of the past 400 years

Military Strategy has existed as long as there has been organised conflict. In this ground-breaking account, Jeremy Black explores the ever-changing relationship between purpose, force, implementation, and effectiveness in military strategy and its dramatic impact on the development of the global power system.

Taking a β€œtotal” view of strategy, Black looks at leading powersβ€”notably the United States, China, Britain, and Russiaβ€”in the wider context of their competition and their domestic and international strengths. Ranging from France’s ancien rΓ©gime and Britain’s empire building to present-day conflicts in the Middle East, Black devotes particular attention to the strategic practice and decisions of the Kangxi Emperor, Clausewitz, Napoleon, and Hitler.
