Review ?This work may be read at two levels. On the one hand, it deals with the state-of-the-art of strategic studies and of criticisms leveled at the discipline by such critics as Philip Green, Anatol Rapoport, and Karl Deutsch. On the other hand, it profitably may be read as an analysis of current strategic concepts. ... While this book may deal with esoteric subjects that at first blush may be thought to be of interest only to academic strategists, the truth is Dr. Gray has signficant insights to provide practicing military strategists, particularly concerning operational strategy and the use of history to guide strategic analysis.?-Parameters, Journal of the US Army War College"This work may be read at two levels.
