Defeating Japan

Viac o knihe

The book explores the insights of American strategists in the Joint Chiefs of Staff during World War II, emphasizing their recognition of the intertwined nature of political and military strategy in the conflict against Japan. It highlights their understanding that wars stem from political origins and serve political goals, which shape both objectives and post-war peace. By viewing policy as the essential guiding principle for military action, the book argues against the notion of separating strategic issues from their political context.
