STRATEGY
On Grand Strategy
By John Lewis Gaddis · 384 pages
Why this title matters
Gaddis synthesizes centuries of strategic thought — from Thucydides and Sun Tzu to Lincoln and FDR — to argue that the greatest leaders throughout history shared one rare ability: they could hold enormous ends and severely limited means in their minds simultaneously, without breaking. Required reading for anyone who makes decisions where the stakes outlast the moment.
