Antulio J. Echevarria II reveals how successive generations of
American strategic theorists have thought about war. Analyzing the
work of Alfred Thayer Mahan, Billy Mitchell, Bernard Brodie, Robert
Osgood, Thomas Schelling, Herman Kahn, Henry Eccles, Joseph Wiley,
Harry Summers, John Boyd, William Lind, and John Warden, he
uncovers the logic that underpinned each theorist's critical
concepts, core principles, and basic assumptions about the nature
and character of war. In so doing, he identifies four paradigms of
war's nature - traditional, modern, political, and materialist -
that have shaped American strategic thought. If war's logic is
political, as Carl von Clausewitz said, then so too is thinking
about war.
