In this new account, Jeremy Black explores the ever-changing relationship between purpose, force, implementation and effectiveness in military strategy and its dramatic impact on the development of the global power system.    Taking a 'total' view of strategy, Black looks at leading powers - notably the United States, China, Britain and Russia - in the wider context of their competition and their domestic and international strengths. Ranging from France's Ancien Regime and Britain's empire building to present day conflicts in the Middle East, Black devotes particular attention to the strategic practice and decisions of the Kangxi Emperor, Clausewitz, Napoleon and Hitler. 606 $aStrategy$xHistory 606 $aWorld politics 608 $aHistory.$2fast 615 0$aStrategy$xHistory. 615 0$aWorld politics. 676 $a355.02 686 $aNK 7010$qSEPA$2rvk 700 $aBlack$b Jeremy$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0144601 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910967385703321 996 $aMilitary Strategy$94382821 997 $aUNINA
