John Lewis Gaddis, the distinguished historian of the Cold War, has for almost two decades co-taught grand strategy at Yale University with his colleagues Charles Hill and Paul Kennedy. Now, in On Grand Strategy, Gaddis reflects on what he has learned.

For anyone interested in the art of leadership, On Grand Strategy is, in every way, a master class. John Lewis Gaddis (born April 2, 1941) is an American Cold War historian, political scientist, and writer. He is the Robert A. Lovett Professor of Military and Naval History at Yale University. He is best known for his work on the Cold War and grand strategy, and he has been hailed as the "Dean of Cold War Historians" by The New York Times. Gaddis is also the official biographer of the prominent 20th-century American diplomat and historian George F. Kennan. George F. Kennan: An American Life (2011), his biography of Kennan, won the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for Biography or Autobiography. Derived from a Kirkus review: A Pulitzer Prizewinning historian offers a capacious analysis of how leaders make strategic decisions. Drawing on a yearlong "Grand Strategy" course he teaches to Yale undergraduates, Gaddis, the recipient of a National Humanities Medal in 2005, analyzes the processes and complexities involved in devising grand strategies: "the alignment of potentially unlimited aspirations with necessarily limited capabilities." The adjective "grand," he adds, has to do with "what's at stake," which is why grand strategies traditionally have been associated "with the planning and fighting of wars." Arguing that strategic leaders need to be flexible, creative, and observant, the author cites political theorist and philosopher Isaiah Berlin, who popularized a memorable line from an ancient Greek poet: "The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing." That big thingan obsessive idea or abstract idealmay make a leader appear decisive but is likely to prevent innovation. "Assuming stability is one of the ways ruins get made," Gaddis writes. "Resilience accommodates the unexpected." Elizabeth I, whom he admires, defied traditional expectations by "reigning without marrying, tolerating (within limits) religious differences, and letting a language gloriously grow." Rather than impose a grand design, she responded deftly to her changing world. Not so Xerxes and Napoleon, who mounted campaigns that failed because of limited "peripheral vision" blinding them to the variables of "landscapes, logistics, climates, the morale of their troops, and the strategies of their enemies." Abraham Lincoln, too, merits Gaddis' admiration: Self-taught and astoundingly intuitive, Lincoln "managed polarities: they didn't manage him." The author returns often to Tolstoy and Carl von Clausewitz, both of whom respect theory and practice "without enslaving themselves to either." Abstraction and specificity "reinforce each other, but never in predetermined proportions." Both writers, Gaddis argues, considered the contradictions and irony of history with "the amplitude, imagination, and honesty" that make them "the grandest of strategists." A lively, erudite study of the past in service of the future.
