Summary

A distinguished lifelong diplomat and educator, Hill aims to revive the ancient tradition of statecraft as practiced by humane and broadly educated men and women. Through lucid and compelling discussions of classic literary works from Homer to Rushdie, Grand Strategies represents a merger of literature and international relations, inspired by the conviction that a grand strategist needs to be immersed in classic texts from Sun Tzu to Thucydides to George Kennan, to gain real-world experience in the realms of statecraft, and to bring this learning and experience to bear on contemporary issues. --
