With the death of Professor Sir Michael Howard, The International
Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) lost not only its president
emeritus but the last of its founders and intellectual parents. The
foremost military historian of his generation, Sir Michael embodied
and epitomised a historical sensibility that informed all his
writing. He will forever remain an icon not only for historians,
but for all those who acknowledge the indispensability of history
and the historical sensibility for any true understanding of
present events. In tribute to Sir Michael and in celebration of his
life and work, this Adelphi book collects a selection of his
remarks and writings for IISS publications over six decades, as
well as previously unprinted material. Through this collection,
these works will reach a new generation of readers and be made more
accessible to those fortunate enough to have read them already.
They illustrate Sir Michael's role in the Institute's creation and
his abiding presence in its evolving intellectual life, and serve
as a historical document, tracing the development of strategic
thought and preoccupations from the 1950s to the recent past. In
addition to their historical value, Sir Michael's conclusions
retain their immediacy and power. This book is therefore of direct
relevance to anyone interested in contemporary events: whether the
professional analyst, the student of international relations or the
general reader.
