The Retreat from Strategy Britain s Dangerous Confusion of Interests with Values
by [Richards, David, Lindley-French, Julian]
$45.50
Description
Britain long ago abandoned the art and science of grand strategy, even though this is crucial for establishing the country's direction of travel. Without grand strategy, national strategy has been reduced to little more than a political game of how much threat Britain can afford, and who gets what from an ever-shrinking resource pot. However, it is Britain's defense policy where the contradictions and self-delusion of abandoned strategy are most apparent, and which explains why the balance between ends, ways and means--as sound strategy would demand--has become not just elusive, but nigh on impossible.
This essential, incisive book offers Britain a pathway back to strategic realism, by ending the profound confusion of interests with values that has done so much damage to Britain and its vital place in the world of the twenty-first century.
