Categories: History, Politics & Social Sciences

Grand Strategies in War and Peace (1991, Yale University Press) is a collection of essays edited by historian Paul Kennedy on grand strategy, the way a nation combines military, economic and political means to pursue its long-term aims. Contributors including Michael Howard, J. H. Elliott, Eliot A. Cohen and Condoleezza Rice examine Rome, Habsburg Spain, Britain, Germany, France and the Soviet Union. Kennedy's opening essay argues for a broader definition of strategy beyond the battlefield, and his closing essay turns to the United States.
