In The End of Grand Strategy, Simon Reich and Peter Dombrowski
challenge the common view of grand strategy as unitary. They eschew
prescription of any one specific approach, chosen from a spectrum
that stretches from global primacy to restraint and isolationism,
in favor of describing what America’s military actually does, day
to day. They argue that a series of fundamental recent changes in
the global system, the inevitable jostling of bureaucratic
politics, and the practical limitations of field operations combine
to ensure that each presidential administration inevitably resorts
to a variety of strategies. Proponents of different American grand
strategies have historically focused on the pivotal role of the
Navy. In response, Reich and Dombrowski examine six major maritime
operations, each of which reflects one major strategy. One size
does not fit all, say the authors—the attempt to impose a single
overarching blueprint is no longer feasible. Reich and Dombrowski
declare that grand strategy, as we know it, is dead. The End of
Grand Strategy is essential reading for policymakers, military
strategists, and analysts and critics at advocacy groups and think
tanks.
