Strateji - Bir Tarih

At the core of strategy lies the question of whether we can shape our environment and use it to our advantage, rather than falling victim to forces beyond our control. The environment that depends on chance events, the efforts of the parties and the missteps of friends is what makes the strategy challenging and adds drama to it.

In this gripping and illuminating book, Lawrence Freedman shows how strategic thinking permeates every aspect of our lives.

From the beginning to the Bible, ancient Greek myths, Sun Tzu and Machiavelli share the secrets of strategic thinking. The military strategy section takes readers from the writings of Carl von Clausewitz to the nuclear strategists of the 1950s. Our analysis of political strategy begins with Marx's revolutionary analysis of politics and ends with Obama's presidential campaigns. The chapter devoted to business strategy covers the most important innovators, from Frederick Winslow Taylor to Alfred Sloan, with a detailed history.

“This is a wonderful book – clear and even-handed, sometimes sad, often ironic and always informative.”

Philipp Bobbitt, author of The Shields of Achilles

“An incredible grand tour of the meaning, implications and effects of strategic thinking in different contexts throughout the ages.”

Robert Jervis, Columbia University

“This book proves once again that Lawrence Freedman is one of the world's leading thinkers on strategy.”
