9781591149842: Military Strategy: A General Theory of Power Control (Classics of Sea Power)

Synopsis

In Military Strategy Rear Admiral J.C. Wylie invented the intellectual framework and terminology with which to understand strategy as a means of control. He synthesized the four existing specific theories of strategy into one general theory that is as valid today as when it was first created. Wylie has written a penetrating new postscript especially for this Classics of Sea Power edition that takes an up-to-the-minute look at such topics as terrorism, Nicaraguan politics, and the Strategic Defense Initiative. To supplement the text, John Hattendorg's introduction presents a detailed intellectual biography of Wylie. In addition, several of Wylie's most significant shorter writings are included as appendixes. J.C. Wylie retired from the U.S. Navy as a rear admiral in 1972, after a forty-four-year naval career that included service as chief of staff as the Naval War College. John B. Hattendorf is Ernest J. King Professor of Maritime History at the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island, and co-editor of Sea Power series.

From the Back Cover

Now available in paperback, Admiral Wylie's analyses and opinions have long been of interest to military professionals, government leaders, journalists, commentators, and scholars. Noted for a freewheeling mind unhampered by orthodox military terms and the prevailing dogmas, this book on strategy has been valued for its astute and clearly stated arguments.
