Description
This Very Short Introduction to Military Strategy explores the fundamental principles that guide military leaders in their decision-making. By distilling the ideas of influential thinkers such as Sun Tzu, Niccolò Machiavelli, and Carl von Clausewitz, Antulio J. Echevarria II presents a clear and engaging account of the "art of the general".
The book examines the dynamic relationship between purpose, method, and means in military strategy, drawing on historical examples to illustrate key concepts. The author also discusses how emerging technologies are changing the nature of warfare, including the role of cyberwarfare in modern conflict.
