Is there a Western way of war' which pursues battles of
annihilation and single-minded military victory? Is warfare on a
path to ever greater destructive force? This magisterial new
account answers these questions by tracing the history of Western
thinking about strategy the employment of military force as a
political instrument from antiquity to the present day. Assessing
sources from Vegetius to contemporary America, and with a
particular focus on strategy since the Napoleonic Wars, Beatrice
Heuser explores the evolution of strategic thought, the social
institutions, norms and patterns of behaviour within which it
operates, the policies that guide it and the cultures that
influence it. Ranging across technology and warfare, total warfare
and small wars as well as land, sea, air and nuclear warfare, she
demonstrates that warfare and strategic thinking have fluctuated
wildly in their aims, intensity, limitations and excesses over the
past two millennia."
