Defeating Japan

Více o knize

American strategists in the Joint Chiefs of Staff recognized the deep connection between political and military strategy during World War II, particularly in the conflict against Japan. They believed that war stems from political origins and aims to achieve political goals, which shape both the objectives of the war and the subsequent peace. Emphasizing the importance of policy as the guiding force in warfare, the book explores how this understanding influenced strategic decision-making, reflecting Clausewitz's views on the interplay between war and politics.
