Ken Booth's study, first published in 1979, investigates the way in
which cultural distortions have affected the theory and execution
of strategy. Its aim is to illustrate the importance of
ethnocentrism in all areas of the subject, to follow through its
implications and to suggest approaches to the different problems it
poses. Insights are offered into the character of a number of
important issues in Cold War international politics, including the
superpower arms race, detente, the Middle Eastern crisis, the
Soviet arms build-up and the SALT talks. In light of the cost of
modern warfare, it is all the more important to avoid strategic
failures in the future. Strategy and Ethnocentrism aims to alert
students of military and strategic studies to some ways of
minimising the risks of failure in an age when war is increasingly
characterised by racial, cultural and religious conflict.
