Reviews

"'The book’s real strength is its central insight that American strategic planners since Vietnam have been profoundly influenced by a narrow and often confused understanding of Clausewitzian doctrine ... The book brilliantly demonstrates the continued influence of a watered-down version of Clausewitz’s dictum that ""war is a continuation of politics by other means.""' -Canadian International Council's International Journal, Summer 2010, 790'... those who want a thorough analysis of an important trend in modern American strategic thinking will find Kinross’s work insightful and, at times, highly original. Because of the undeniable influence of Clausewitzian theory on American strategic doctrine, Kinross has made an important contribution to broader discussions about American strategy.' -Canadian International Council's International Journal, Summer 2010, 790"
