Having said That! My intent was to translate what i learn to video games(mostly RTS) against friends..and it works. Dont be bogged down with doctrine, the only rule of war is to Win! Even if that means vassalizing yourself in the meantime ;p Example: Western History teaches that The Finns won the winter war, THEY LOST 11% of their lands to a people that just suffered a Major Civil War! Thats not winning! Dont lose out on a meal because the flag on the packaging changes!! maybe i lean to heavily into Machiavelli idk Review: An Excellent Anthology - In my experience, anthologies are always a sort of doing toss with essays being either very good or very bad, due to the fact that its a collection different authors with different ideas and different styles. It's rare to find one where all the essays are great and interesting reads, but this book is one of those. A collection of essays on military history, strategy, and strategies starting with Machiavelli in the 16th century all the way to the end of the Cold War. Every major military leader and thinker in Western history during this time period is there and topics are varied enough so that it is not always Army tactics that are covered. It also includes essays on the Navy and Air power that are fascinating. It even includes a chapter on modern revolutionary wars, or insurgencies as we would call them today, that is not to be missed. And, I have to say, there wasn't one essay that I felt was superfluous or boring., an achievement for an anthology of this size. The only thing that I would say is that, since this was most recently updated in 1986, it does need to add a few new chapters on robotics and cyberwarfare. In spite of its age and length, this was a great read and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the development of modern, Western military strategy over the centuries. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #125,115 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #47 in Nuclear Weapons & Warfare History (Books) #211 in Military Strategy History (Books) #948 in World War II History (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 385 Reviews | ## Images ![Makers of Modern Strategy from Machiavelli to the Nuclear Age - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91LugTZLT0L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Delivered in Good Condition on Time *by D***? on January 9, 2026* This is well and good, made me realize i should read the source material to truly grasp what is being said.

It's academic with an assortment of essays that are entertaining to read. There is a consistency in the contributing authors' essential prose without recourse to run-on to absurdum academic annoyances. I enjoyed the stripped down without being dumbed down writing style. On a surprise note, Dr. Condoleza Rice contributed a good, sturdy essay on the Soviet military starting in 1918, and carrying through to the Cold War. This particular essay allows one to understand some of her rationale for the Iraq War of 2003 which proved to be highly problematic. I gave this four stars simply because the edition I was sent is over twenty five years old, and the sheer size of the book translates to a lot of stress on the binding. The pages don't feel as securely fastened as they should, and with repeated use for research, the binding weakness is a concern. Also, please note, there are two editions of "Makers Of Modern Strategy." The earlier edition contains entirely different essays that are still important for research, but they will not match your needs for academic assigned readings! ## Frequently Bought Together - Makers of Modern Strategy from Machiavelli to the Nuclear Age - The Dynamics of Military Revolution, 1300-2050 - Military Innovation in the Interwar Period --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1653014-makers-of-modern-strategy-from-machiavelli-to-the-nuclear-age](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1653014-makers-of-modern-strategy-from-machiavelli-to-the-nuclear-age) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-13*
