Evolution of Strategic Thought

For half a century Adelphi Papers have been the archetype of an international security monograph. Drawn from the Greek word for 'brother', Adelphi Papers had their debut during the height of the Cold War and were intended as a vehicle to form an international network of specialists advancing understanding in international and strategic studies. Although one volume cannot possibly do justice to the depth and insight provided by more than 400 monographs published over the past five decades, it can provide the reader an understanding of the evolution of strategic thinking during that period. These papers are important because of the intellectual contribution they made at the time; but they are equally important because of their enduring value in shedding light even on today's security challenges.Cronin, Patrick M. is the author of 'Evolution of Strategic Thought', published 2008 under ISBN 9780415459617 and ISBN 0415459613.
