Book Review: Definitive
Summary: 4 Stars
Edited by Peter Paret, co-author of the definitive translation of Carl von Clausewitz's "On War", Makers of Modern Strategy is a tour de force of strategic military thinking throughout history. Encompassing many of the great strategic thinkers of history, the book progresses in a series of well-written articles taking an historical thinker or idea as its subject. Contributors include many prestigious and respected individuals in the fields of academia and policy-making. Michael Howard, Condoleezza Rice and Lawrence Freedman are only three big names among many adding their thoughts and knowledge to this highly informative and comprehensive work. Definitely an essential read for anyone seriously interested in the history of military thought.
