How does one engage in the study of strategy? Strategy: Context and Adaptation from Archidamus to Airpower argues that strategy is not just concerned with amassing knowledge; it is also about recognizing our imperfect understanding of the environment and respecting the complex nature of adaptation to the unforeseen or unexpected. In essence; the strongest strategists are those who commit to an education that cultivates a more holistic and adaptive way of thinking. With that thought in mind; the contributors to Strategy; each a current or former professor at the School of Advanced Air and Space Studies; widely considered the Department of Defense’s premier school of strategy; offer ways of thinking strategically about a variety of subject matters; from classical history to cyber power. Practitioners in the profession of arms; perhaps more than any other profession; must employ critical thinking where the application of power on land; at sea; in the air; and in space and cyberspace are concerned. Strategy examines various sub-disciplines regarding the use of power; and illuminates different approaches to thinking which have implications beyond the implementation of force.
