What does it aim to achieve? And what differentiates it from normal strategic thought--what, in other words, makes it grand? In answering these questions, most scholars have focused on diplomacy and warfare, so much so that grand strategy has become almost an equivalent\u003cbr\u003eof military history. The traditional attention paid to military affairs is understandable, but in today's world it leaves out much else that could be considered political, and therefore strategic. It is in fact possible to consider, and even reach, a more capacious understanding of grand strategy, \u003cbr\u003eone that still includes the battlefield and the negotiating table while expanding beyond them. Just as contemporary world politics is driven by a wide range of non-military issues, the most thorough considerations of grand strategy must consider the bases of peace and security--including gender, \u003cbr\u003erace, the environment, and a wide range of cultural, social, political, and economic issues. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eRethinking American Grand Strategy\u003c\/em\u003e assembles a roster of leading historians to examine America's place in the world. Its innovative chapters re-examine familiar figures, such as John Quincy Adams, George Kennan, and Henry Kissinger, while also revealing the forgotten episodes and hidden voices of\u003cbr\u003eAmerican grand strategy. They expand the scope of diplomatic and military history by placing the grand strategies of public health, race, gender, humanitarianism, and the law alongside military and diplomatic affairs to reveal hidden strategists as well as strategies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-13797319\"\u003eElizabeth Borgwardt\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 512\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780190695675\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0190695676\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS036000\"\u003eUnited States | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS027110\"\u003eMilitary | United States\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POL\"\u003ePolitical Science\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POL020000\"\u003eAmerican Government | State\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElizabeth Borgwardt, \u003cem\u003eAssociate Professor of History and Law, Washington University in St. Louis\u003c\/em\u003e, Christopher McKnight Nichols, \u003cem\u003eDirector of the Center for the Humanities and Associate Professor of History, Oregon State University\u003c\/em\u003e, Andrew Preston, \u003cem\u003eProfessor of American History, University of\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eCambridge\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElizabeth Borgwardt\u003c\/strong\u003e is an associate professor of history and law at Washington University in St. Louis and the author of \u003cem\u003eA New Deal for the World: America's Vision for Human Rights\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChristopher McKnight Nichols\u003c\/strong\u003e is Director of the Center for the Humanities and Associate Professor of History at Oregon State University and the author of \u003cem\u003ePromise and Peril: America at the Dawn of a Global Age\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAndrew Preston\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of American History at the University of Cambridge and the author of \u003cem\u003eSword of the Spirit, Shield of Faith: Religion in American War and Diplomacy and American Foreign Relations: A Very Short Introduction\u003c\/em\u003e (OUP, 2019), among other books.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42698255827181,"sku":"9780190695675","price":38.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_f0a89299-fe8d-4c82-9221-f229b562c50b.jpg?v=1649897364","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/rethinking-american-grand-strategy-9780190695675","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
