The essential resource on military and political strategy and the making of the modern world
The New Makers of Modern Strategy is the next generation of the definitive work on strategy and
the key figures who have shaped the theory and practice of war and statecraft throughout the
centuries. Featuring entirely new entries by a who's who of world-class scholars this new
edition provides global comparative perspectives on strategic thought from antiquity to today
surveying both classical and current themes of strategy while devoting greater attention to the
Cold War and post-9 11 eras. The contributors evaluate the timeless requirements of effective
strategy while tracing the revolutionary changes that challenge the makers of strategy in the
contemporary world. Amid intensifying global disorder the study of strategy and its history
has never been more relevant. The New Makers of Modern Strategy draws vital lessons from
history's most influential strategists from Thucydides and Sun Zi to Clausewitz Napoleon
Churchill Mao Ben-Gurion Andrew Marshall Xi Jinping and Qassem Soleimani. With
