Product Information
"The best education in grand strategy available in a single volume . . . a book that should be read by every American leader or would-be leader."-- The Wall Street Journal A master class in strategic thinking, distilled from the legendary program the author has co-taught at Yale for decades John Lewis Gaddis, the distinguished historian of the Cold War, has for almost two decades co-taught grand strategy at Yale University with his colleagues Charles Hill and Paul Kennedy. Now, in On Grand Strategy , Gaddis reflects on what he has learned. In chapters extending from the ancient world through World War II, Gaddis assesses grand strategic theory and practice in Herodotus, Thucydides, Sun Tzu, Octavian/Augustus, St. Augustine, Machiavelli, Elizabeth I, Philip II, the American Founding Fathers, Clausewitz, Tolstoy, Lincoln, Wilson, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Isaiah Berlin. On Grand Strategy applies the sharp insights and wit readers have come to expect from Gaddis to times, places, and people he's never written about before. For anyone interested in the art of leadership, On Grand Strategy is, in every way, a master class.

Reviews
Praise for John Lewis Gaddis's George F. Kennan : "Magisterial . . . Bids fair to be as close to the final word as possible on one of the most important, complex, moving, challenging, and exasperating American public servants." -- The New York Times Book Review "[Gaddis's] Cold War scholarship is canonical in the field. . . . Kennan's life maps right onto twentieth-century political history, and no one is better qualified than Gaddis to lead the way throught it. . . . Gaddis has written with care and elegance, and he produced a biography whose fineness is worthy of its subject." -- The New Yorker "A major achievement." -- The Wall Street Journal, "[T]he best education in grand strategy available in a single volume . . . a long walk with a single, delightful mind . . . On Grand Strategy is a book that should be read by every American leader or would-be leader." -- John Nagl, Wall Street Journal "A remarkably erudite volume...[that] renders nuanced verdicts on an eclectic cohort of thinkers, writers, monarchs and conquerors...Gaddis has indisputably earned the right to plow different fields of historical inquiry, which he does in On Grand Strategy with self-evident glee and peripatetic curiosity." -- Washington Post "Thought-provoking...The approach is highly idiosyncratic and the structure loose; it has something of the feel of a personal manifesto or intellectual memoir." -- Weekly Standard "[An] eminently readable book by a master historian...It is a brilliant book--learned, seductively written, deep." -- The New Criterion "Lively...Gaddis concludes with an invaluable warning that true morality embraces neither messianic interventionism nor the quest for utopianism...Instead, ethical leadership pursues the art of the possible for the greater (not the greatest) good... On Grand Strategy is many things--a thoughtful validation of the liberal arts, an argument for literature over social science, an engaging reflection on university education and some timely advice to Americans that lasting victory comes from winning what you can rather than all that you want." -- The New York Times Book Review "An extraordinary treatise on the need to teach the principles of sound strategy to today''s leaders...The book...is a rich one. It makes sense of our world, but is also capable of beautifully crafted pithy historical judgments...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." -- The Times (UK) "A fine summary of the complex concepts explored in [Gaddis''s] Grand Strategy seminar, full of vivid examples of leadership and strategic thinking, from the Persian king Xerxes to Churchill''s and Roosevelt''s WWII strategies...Gaddis brings a deep knowledge of history and a pleasingly economical prose style to this rigorous study of leadership." -- Publishers Weekly "A capacious analysis of how leaders make strategic decisions...A lively, erudite study of the past in service of the future." -- Kirkus Reviews On The Cold War: A New History "Outstanding . . . The most accessible distillation of that conflict yet written." - The Boston Globe "Energetically written and lucid, it makes an ideal introduction to the subject." - The New York Times "A fresh and admirably concise history . . . Gaddis''s mastery of the material, his fluent style and eye for the telling anecdote make his new work a pleasure." - The Economist On George F. Kennan: An American Life Winner of the Pulitzer Prize ''''Magisterial . . . [Kennan] bids fair to be as close to the final word as possible on one of the most important, complex, moving, challenging, and exasperating American public servants . . . We can be grateful to John Lewis Gaddis for bringing Kennan back to us, thoughtful, human, self-centered, contradictory, inspirational--a permanent spur as consciences are wont to be. Masterfully researched, exhaustively documented, Gaddis'' moving work gives us a figure with whom, however one might differ on details, it was a privilege to be a contemporary.'''' - Henry A. Kissinger, New York Times Book Review "[A] first-rate biography . . . Kennan''s life maps right onto twentieth-century political history, and no one is better qualified than Gaddis to lead the way through it . . . Gaddis has written with care and elegance, and he has produced a biography whose fineness is worthy of its subject." - The New Yorker, "A capacious analysis of how leaders make strategic decisions...A lively, erudite study of the past in service of the future." -- Kirkus Reviews On The Cold War: A New History "Outstanding . . . The most accessible distillation of that conflict yet written." - The Boston Globe "Energetically written and lucid, it makes an ideal introduction to the subject." - The New York Times "A fresh and admirably concise history . . .
