Why read it?
1 author picked History and Strategy as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
For readers who are interested in learning how to think about international relations, strategy, security, and history.
The collection of essays discusses US foreign policy, nuclear politics, and the Cold War. My favorite is Trachtenberg’s critical reassessment of the origins of the First World War, a destructive conflict no one wanted to happen but still walked into.
I always assign this book to my students.
From László's list on the search for truth in history.
