This book explores fundamental questions about grand strategy, as
it has evolved across generations and countries. It provides an
overview of the ancient era of grand strategy and a detailed
discussion of its philosophical, military, and economic foundations
in the modern era. The author investigates these aspects through
the lenses of four approaches - those of historians, social
scientists, practitioners, and military strategists. The main goal
is to provide contemporary policy makers and scholars with a
historic and analytic framework in which to evaluate and conduct
grand strategy. By providing greater analytical clarity about grand
strategy and describing its nature and its utility for the state,
this book presents a comprehensive theory on the practice of grand
strategy in order to articulate the United States' past, present,
and future purpose and position on the world stage.

War demands that scholars and policy makers use victory in precise
and coherent terms to communicate what the state seeks to achieve
in war. The failure historically to define victory in consistent
terms has contributed to confused debates when societies consider
whether to wage war. This volume explores the development of a
theoretical narrative or language of victory to help scholars and
policy makers define carefully and precisely what they mean by
victory in war in order to achieve a deeper understanding of
victory as the foundation of strategy in the modern world.
