Covering all the main issues in the field, the book explores the major themes through a combination of classical and modern strategic theory, history and current practice. The book is split into three main sections:
Definition and Context : including discussion of the human, technological, intelligence, ethical and grand-strategic dimensions
Strategy in the Geographic Environments: land, sea, air and space
Contemporary Strategic Challenges: terrorism, insurgency and nuclear strategy.
Each chapter presents the reader with a succinct summary of the topic, but also provides a challenging analysis of current issues, supporting students with pedagogical features such as suggested further reading, boxed case studies and study questions.
This book will be essential reading for upper-level students of strategic studies, war studies, military history and international security.
