This major new textbook explores the traditional and contemporary uses of organized force for political purposes, bringing together leading scholars in the field to address both strategy theory and practice. It emphasizes the ongoing significance of various strategic approaches in understanding the complexities of war and peace in the early twenty-first century. The volume opens with an introduction from the editors that underscores the central theme: the historical and ongoing role of military power in achieving political objectives. The content is organized into four main sections: the evolution of strategic thought; the theory and practice of land, sea, and air power; new and adapted theories of peace and security that emerged during the Cold War; and developments in strategic thinking and practice since the Cold War, including concepts like Revolution in Military Affairs, Information (Cyber) Warfare, and Space Warfare. The book concludes by revisiting themes from the introduction and discussing future directions for strategic studies. With careful editing and strong pedagogical elements, this textbook serves as a clear, accessible, and engaging introduction to strategic studies for students of politics and international relations.

Jeannie Johnson's sparkling prequel, The Rest of Our Lives, introduced our three heroines. The post-war years bring these very different women just as many dreams, disappointments, and triumphs. It's Coronation Year, 1953, a new beginning. Like many cities, Bristol is patching itself up after the war, while refugees who fought for the allies are seeking sanctuary in Britain. Charlotte tries to forget her wartime love and accept the shortcomings of her marriage. Edna has three beautiful children and will do anything to protect her brood, but hasn't allowed for the effect of a deadly, 20th-century disease. Polly still hopes for an easier, more glamorous life, but with her irrepressible young daughter and her charming tricky husband, will things improve?
