About the book
Colin Gray builds his treatise on war, peace and strategy around forty maxims, each developed in a short essay. The maxims fall into five groups. War and Peace deals with the larger issues of strategic history; Strategy moves into strategic behavior and links the political focus of the first group to the military concerns that follow; Military Power and Warfare covers operations, tactics and logistics; Security and Insecurity explains why strategy matters and how world politics works; and History and the Future addresses how historical change happens. Gray means the maxims to guard politicians, soldiers and an attentive public against many of the fallacies common in current debates about war and security.
James Mattis included it on the list of favorite books in an appendix to Call Sign Chaos.
