William J. Taylor, Jr., is senior vice president at CSIS and former director of National Security Studies at the U.S. Military Academy, West Point. Michael J.

A classic text, widely used in universities... It does an exemplary job of explaining the process of defining and implementing national security objectives. Hardly any significant subject is omitted from this very rich and readable volume.
