  • What Should the U.S. Army Learn From History? Recovery From a Strategy Deficit
    Dr. Colin S. Gray / DrColin SGray
    Does history repeat itself? This monograph clearly answers “no,” firmly. However, it does not argue that an absence of repetition in the sense of analogy means that history can have no utility for the soldier today. This monograph argues for a “historical parallelism,” in place of shaky or false analogy. The past, even the distant and ancient past, provides evidence of the pote...

Despite the fact that strategy is always the product of political process, the relationship between the two concepts and their ancillary activities has scarcely been touched by scholars. This book corrects that serious deficiency, and explains the high relevance of political factors for matters of ge...

    Colin S. Gray / Strategic Studies Institute / U. S. Army War College Press
    The challenge that is defense planning includes: 'educated futurology' and the humanities as methodological approaches; futurists and scenarios, trend spotting and defense analysis; the impossibility of science in studying the future; the impossibility of verification by empirical testing of hypotheses; the value of the humanities which are politics, strategy, and history for d...

    Colin S. Gray / Colin SGray

  • Hard Power and Soft Power
    Colin S. Gray / Colin SGray
    Commentators distinguish between two kinds of power, ?hard? and ?soft.? The promise in this logic is obvious. Unfortunately, to date, the idea of soft power has not been subjected to a critical forensic examination. The ill consequences of America?s difficulty in thinking and behaving strategically are augmented perilously when unwarranted faith is placed upon soft power that i...

  • Schools for Strategy
    Colin S. Gray / Colin SGray
    All would-be strategists would benefit by some formal education. However, for education in strategy to be well-directed, it needs to rest upon sound assumptions concerning the eternal nature yet ever shifting character, meaning, and function of strategy, as well as the range of behaviors required for effective strategic performance. The author emphasizes the necessity for strat...
