"A Project Syndicate Best Reads in 2023"
"[Brands] gathers a college of 45 such experts. All are wise after
the facts of their field, and each attempts the historian’s
equivalent of the owl’s neck rotation—a sweep that, taking in past
and present, looks to the future . . . the scholarship on strategy
has become internationalized, and Mr. Brands broadens his sights
beyond the familiar theorists and practitioners—and beyond the
battlefield."---Dominic Green, Wall Street Journal
"The book is a great scholarly achievement that has set a new and
probably long-lasting benchmark in strategic studies."---Marco
Wyss, Journal of Military History and Historiography
"It is hard to overstate the importance of this book. The essays
provide excellent starting points for research on almost any topic
relevant to practitioners, and many of them will endure as the best
summaries of thinking on their respective subjects. . . . Reading
the book cover to cover would be terrific preparation for a year at
any American professional military education institution—or for
service in Congress or the executive branch at a time when American
strategy appears to be faltering."---John C. Erickson and John A.
Nagl, Parameters
"Hal Brands has rounded up over 40 authors for his new edition of
The New Makers of Modern Strategy: from the Ancient World to the
Digital Age. . . .The third great volume of Makers of Modern
Strategy that will feature on every pertinent university or staff
college reading list."---Beatrice Heuser, Journal of Strategic
Studies
