Edward N. Luttwak is a senior associate of the Center for Strategic and International Studies. A longtime strategic and security consultant to US government departments, the armed services, and friendly governments, he is the author of The Grand Strategy of the Byzantine Empire, among other books.
At the height of its power, the Roman Empire encompassed the entire Mediterranean basin, extending much beyond it from Britain to Mesopotamia, from the Rhine to the Black Sea. Rome prospered for centuries while successfully resisting attack, fending off everything from overnight robbery raids to full-scale invasion attempts by entire nations on the move. How were troops able to defend the Empire’s vast territories from constant attacks? And how did they do so at such moderate cost that their treasury could pay for an immensity of highways, aqueducts, amphitheaters, city baths, and magnificent temples?
In The Grand Strategy of the Roman Empire, seasoned defense analyst Edward N. Luttwak reveals how the Romans were able to combine military strength, diplomacy, and fortifications to effectively respond to changing threats. Rome’s secret was not ceaseless fighting, but comprehensive strategies that unified force, diplomacy, and an immense infrastructure of roads, forts, walls, and barriers. Initially relying on client states to buffer attacks, Rome moved to a permanent frontier defense around 117 CE. Finally, as barbarians began to penetrate the empire, Rome filed large armies in a strategy of "defense-in-depth," allowing invaders to pierce Rome’s borders.
This updated edition has been extensively revised to incorporate recent scholarship and archeological findings. A new preface explores Roman imperial statecraft. This illuminating book remains essential to both ancient historians and students of modern strategy.

評分E.N.Luttwak的這本《羅馬帝國的大戰略》(The Grand Strategy of the Roman Empire)也是一部經典作品,知名的《羅馬人的故事》中,鹽野阿姨就引用瞭不少他的觀點跟圖片。 個人相當喜歡這樣的戰略分析,特別是以真實的國傢為例子來述說,雖然不免會有一些過於主觀的危險,但在思...
評分要是一本書裏麵大部分名詞是抽象名詞,這本書還不是數學書,那麼可能作者是在坑你。 我上次看布剋哈特的書,就腳著雲裏霧裏。看瞭一迴啥也沒記住。這本書不是,這本書寫的非常樸實,直接,直奔主題。而且到現在我還能記住其中幾點。 插一句,這本書的翻譯極其渣,不如google...
