Military strategy takes place as much on broad national and
international stages as on battlefields. In a brilliant reimagining
of the impetus and scope of eighteenth-century warfare, historian
Jeremy Black takes us far and wide, from the battlefields and
global maneuvers in North America and Europe to the military
machinations and plotting of such Asian powers as China, Japan,
Burma, Vietnam, and Siam. Europeans coined the term "strategy" only
two centuries ago, but strategy as a concept has been practiced
globally throughout history. Taking issue with traditional military
historians, Black argues persuasively that strategy was as much
political as battlefield tactics and that plotting power did not
always involve outright warfare but also global considerations of
alliance building, trade agreements, and intimidation.
