'A training manual for our troubled times ... It makes sense of our
world, but is also capable of beautifully crafted pithy historical
judgements. ... It is a book that cares about liberty, choice and a
moral compass, that warns against hubris' Roger Boyes, The Times
John Lewis Gaddis, the distinguished historian and acclaimed author
of The Cold War, has for almost two decades co-taught the grand
strategy seminar at Yale University with his colleagues Charles
Hill and Paul Kennedy. Now, in On Grand Strategy, Gaddis reflects
with insight and wit on what he has learned. In chapters extending
from the ancient world through World War II, Gaddis assesses grand
strategic theory and practice in Herodotus, Thucydides, Sun Tzu,
Octavian/Augustus, Saint Augustine, Machiavelli,Elizabeth I, Philip
II, the American Founding Fathers, Clausewitz, Tolstoy,Lincoln,
Wilson, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Isaiah Berlin. 'For the past 16
years Gaddis has taught a course on grand strategy to students at
Yale University. Reading his book, you wish every university could
offer it. Gaddis roves across the centuries, offering advice on
subjects from statecraft and warfare to leading a worthwhile life'
