Gray aLondon :bRoutledge,c2007 axiv, 306 p. :b: maps. ;c26 cm. aThis textbook by Gray (international politics and strategic studies, U. of Reading, UK) is a result of his belief that students of strategic studies know too little history, while students of history and international relations pay too little attention to the strategic dimension of their fields. Focusing more on military strategy rather than grand strategy, he reviews the course of strategic history from the beginning of the 19th century to the present time, primarily from a Western perspective. He also includes contextual chapters discussing the theory of war, the phenomena of terrorism and irregular warfare, and the interaction between military strategies and modes of international order 4aWar 4aMilitary policy a11396/MKRI-P/XII-2008 a11397/MKRI-P/XII-2008 a11397/MKRI-P/XII-2008 a11396/MKRI-P/XII-2008 a11396/MKRI-P/XII-2008 a11397/MKRI-P/XII-2008
