Making Strategy : An Introduction to National Security Processes and Problems (2nd ed.)

This book addresses national security strategy: what it is, what its objectives are, what problems it seeks to solve or at least manage, and what kinds of influences constrain and create opportunities for developing and implementing strategies.

The authors, who have spent years teaching the subject at the war colleges, explain the process simply, concisely, and thoroughly.

They pay special attention to the threats, interests, and risks associated with terrorism and other forms of asymmetrical warfare that are the hallmark of the modern era.
