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. In chapters extending from the ancient world through World War II, Gaddis assesses grand strategic theory and practice in Herodotus, Thucydides, Sun Tzu, Octavian/Augustus, St. Augustine, Machiavelli, Elizabeth I, Philip II, the American Founding Fathers, Clausewitz, Tolstoy, Lincoln, Wilson, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Isaiah Berlin. On Grand Strategy applies the sharp insights and wit readers have come to expect from Gaddis to times, places, and people he’s never written about before. For anyone interested in the art of leadership, On Grand Strategy is, in every way, a master class.

很多其他的評論和我的觀點根本不一樣嘛。我讀到的是要適當降低自己過高的目標, 來平衡自己有限的能力。我就奇怪寫“敢為天下先”是怎麼讀的?薛西斯一世難道不是“敢為天下先”嗎。

評分大師的作品,從另一個角度 解說戰略
評分1,要敢為天下先。2,隨著你自己位置越升越高,掌控越來越大的格局,你越得泰然行事。3,在一切必然超齣掌握的現實裏摸索,你得有個方嚮,但不要過度準備。4,在路上你要帶上清單,而不是地圖。5,同樣的道理:理論很有用,但你得知道怎麼用好它。6,你為未知意外所能做的最好準備,是擁抱自己的前後不一和自相矛盾,把它們變成你的戰略優勢。7,自相矛盾也可以叫作權變,時左時右,時進時退,把這事跟隨機亂來分開來的是原則。既要有原則又要通權變,這話說來容易做來難。8,對我們來說,正是因為每天都要在堅持原則與權變之間做取捨,所以分寸感極為重要。
