Description for The Strategy Bridge: Theory for Practice
Paperback. The Strategy Bridge presents and explains the general theory of strategy and demonstrates the relevance of that theory to the real world of practice. The author explains what strategy is and how it relates to politics and warfare. The book is not 'about' the theory of strategy, rather it is that theory. Num Pages: 336 pages. BIC Classification: JPS; JWA; JWK. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 234 x 156. .
The Strategy Bridge: Theory for Practice is an original contribution to the general theory of strategy.

The primary focus of attention is on military strategy, but this focus is well nested in discussion of grand strategy, for which military strategy is only one strand. ... Read more
