Résumé ou extrait

"Lawrence Freedman, a leading scholar of warfare and policymaking, examines strategy and conflict in On Strategists and Strategy, a collection of his essays from the past decade. He explores topics such as Putin's strategic fanaticism, the overlooked importance of tactics, misconceptions about stalemate in war, nuclear deterrence dilemmas, and crisis management lessons from Covid. He also reflects on the scholars who influence him and examines the historical forces of 1960s-70s Britain that shape his career. His essays demonstrate his intellectual breadth and his ongoing engagement with global conflicts and strategic thought. This volume provides a compelling look at Freedman's work and a half-century of world history." (éditeur)
