Paperback. Condición: New. How does one engage in the study of strategy? Strategy: Context and Adaptation from Archidamus to Airpower argues that strategy is not just concerned with amassing knowledge; it is also about recognizing our imperfect understanding of the environment and respecting the complex nature of adaptation to the unforeseen or unexpected. In essence, the strongest strategists are those who commit to an education that cultivates a more holistic and adaptive way of thinking. With that thought in mind, the contributors to Strategy, each a current or former professor at the School of Advanced Air and Space Studies, widely considered the Department of Defense's premier school of strategy, offer ways of thinking strategically about a variety of subject matters, from classical history to cyber power. Practitioners in the profession of arms, perhaps more than any other profession, must employ critical thinking where the application of power on land, at sea, in the air, and in space and cyberspace are concerned. Strategy examines various sub-disciplines regarding the use of power, and illuminates different approaches to thinking which have implications beyond the implementation of force.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a unique and detailed glimpse into the American West during the 19th century. The author, an officer in the United States Army, provides a firsthand account of an expedition up the Yellowstone River in 1875, commissioned to explore the region's potential for military occupation. The narrative unfolds as a blend of meticulous observation and personal reflection, capturing the rugged beauty and strategic significance of the Yellowstone Valley. The expedition's detailed survey of the river, its tributaries, and the surrounding landscape provides a valuable record of the geography, resources, and wildlife of this frontier region. Through the author's sharp eye, we encounter the challenges of navigating treacherous rapids, the abundance of game, and the presence of Native American tribes inhabiting the land. The book also reveals the complexities of the U.S. government's approach to the West, underscoring the ongoing conflict between westward expansion and the rights of Indigenous peoples. The author's observations provide a compelling window into the era's evolving relationship with the environment and the human communities that called the Yellowstone Valley home. This book serves as a valuable historical document, illuminating the realities of frontier life and the enduring legacy of the Yellowstone River. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good-. Estado de la sobrecubierta: No Dust Jacket. A rare printing of this report -- the "cover" paper is pasted to hardcover boards which is not a publisher's binding. The cover paper has some minor soiling. No publication information is given. Opens to page 2 (previous pages missing). Pages 2 - 7 are printed as two pages per sheet (side by side) and on both sides of the sheet. All other pages are printed single sided to a sheet (opposite side blank). There are 50 text pages interspersed with 38 map sheets. There are a few text corrections done neatly in red ink (spellings, dates) which appear to be publisher edits (the only other copy of this work that I have seen contains the same correction in the same hand). My impression is that this was printed as a publisher's galley proof but I don't know know that for a fact. The first few pages has some minor rounding of the lower corners and the paper has just a bit of aging but is generally in very good condition without tears or soiling. I will be happy to provide other details as requested or to receive any corrections or information concerning this item. ; Oblong Small 4to 9" - 11" tall.
