Grand strategy is one of the most widely used and abused concepts
in the foreign policy lexicon. In this important book, Hal Brands
explains why grand strategy is a concept that is so alluring-and so
elusive-to those who make American statecraft. He explores what
grand strategy is, why it is so essential, and why it is so hard to
get right amid the turbulence of global affairs and the chaos of
domestic politics. At a time when "grand strategy" is very much in
vogue, Brands critically appraises just how feasible that endeavor
really is.Brands takes a historical approach to this subject,
examining how four presidential administrations, from that of Harry
S. Truman to that of George W. Bush, sought to "do" grand strategy
at key inflection points in the history of modern U.S. foreign
policy. As examples ranging from the early Cold War to the Reagan
years to the War on Terror demonstrate, grand strategy can be an
immensely rewarding undertaking-but also one that is full of
potential pitfalls on the long road between conception and
implementation. Brands concludes by offering valuable suggestions
for how American leaders might approach the challenges of grand
strategy in the years to come.
