It is better to win than to lose. Our paleolithic ancestors already knew that having a rock in your hand gave you a military advantage. But not all strategies must involve bloodshed. The New Makers of Modern Strategy: From the Ancient World to the Digital Age will introduce numerous ways of winning without rocks or rockets, but such areas as; economics, sociology agronomy, engineering, and psychology. The forty-five contributors to the book will take us from Pericles and his asymmetric strategy in the Peloponnesian Wars to electronic spying of today. What are the potential strategic advantages for competing sides in the use of space? With the growing ability of each side to precisely calculate each other’s strength and with AI, will wars be no longer necessary? We invite those seriously interested in history and politics to our SDG.
The core book is over 1000 pages long, but the required reading will be shortened to a manageable number of pages.
