The Four Greatest Strategic Military Thinkers in History
Andrew Wilson / U.S. Naval War College
Military strategy and tactic matter. Civilizations with the greatest strategist, as well as the greatest resources—have had a powerful edge over competing civilizations. From Napoleon’s revolutionary campaigns to the way terrorism, and nuclear weaponry have defined the nature of warfare in the 21st century, the results of military strategy have changed the course of history.
This class gives you an inside look at the historical context of the world’s greatest military and war strategists of all time. Taught by Professor Andrew R. Wilson, who serves on the faculty of the elite U.S. Naval War College, this lecture will transform you into a military thinker and will change the way you read newspaper headlines by instilling in you a new appreciation for the subtleties and complexities of strategy.
