PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
The late Colin S. Gray was Professor of International Politics and Strategic Studies at the University of Reading, UK, and a professional strategic theorist and defence analyst. His 30 books include Modern Strategy (1999), Another Bloody Century (2005) and The Strategy Bridge (2010). James J. Wirtz is Professor of National Security Affairs at the Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California, USA. He is co-editor of Strategy in the Contemporary World 7th edition (2022) and author of Understanding Intelligence Failure: Warning, Response and Deterrence (2017).
'Since it was first published in 2007 War, Peace and International Relations: An Introduction to Strategic History has been a classic and distinctive text in the Strategic Studies literature. Professor Gray, one of the great strategic thinkers of his day, argued that strategic history indicated that the future of warfare was likely to be very much like the past and that the general theory of strategy was unchanging. He also argued that great power rivalry was likely to re-emerge in the future. Following his premature death, Professor Wirtz has done a great service to students and practitioners of strategy by bringing Gray’s analysis up to date in this new edition showing how important Gray’s insights and analysis are to the understanding of the contemporary war in Ukraine and the growing geopolitical tensions in relations between the West and the developing ‘unlimited’ strategic alliance between Russia and China. Professor Wirtz is to be congratulated. This is a great testimony to the enduring value of the writings of Colin S. Gray.' Emeritus Professor John Baylis, FLSW, FRHist.S, FAcSS, USA Praise for previous editions: 'The author’s discussions and clarity of thought and expression make this work ideal as a textbook for introducing civilian students and prospective military officers of the various military academies to the subject.'
