Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Near Fine. First Edition. 305 Pages. First Edition by the full number line. The dust jacket is Not price-clipped. This is a book about Andrew Marshall and his creation of the American Defense and Nuclear Strategy. The book's dust jacket is in Near Fine condition with very slight wearing along its bottom and top edges, and a small crease across the bottom right corner of the front cover's inside flap keeping it from being Fine. The Interior book is also in Near Fine condition with the remnant stain from some glueing on the front two pages (Front inside cover and 1st page) and the bookstore security sticker on the first page in from the rear cover. Outside of those two distractions, there are no visible extraneous markings, or other visible distractions or detriments throughout the book and thus all of the book's printing and photographs are all in a very well-preserved and enjoyable condition and the book's sewn-in bindings remain tight and therefore are sound. If you order this very in-depth look at our nation's defense strategy and the man that created a lot of it, we will very carefully wrap it up, then pad and box it and mail it right away to you with both insurance and tracking on it and it will come with our genuine appreciation for your order.…

Hardback. Condition: New. Andrew Marshall is a Pentagon legend. For more than four decades he has served as Director of the Office of Net Assessment, the Pentagon's internal think tank, under twelve defence secretaries and eight administrations. Yet Marshall has been on the cutting edge of strategic thinking even longer than that. At the RAND Corporation during its golden age in the 1950s and early 1960s, Marshall helped formulate bedrock concepts of US nuclear strategy that endure to this day later, at the Pentagon, he pioneered the development of net assessment",a new analytic framework for understanding the long-term military competition between the United States and the Soviet Union. Following the Cold War, Marshall successfully used net assessment to anticipate emerging disruptive shifts in military affairs, including the revolution in precision warfare and the rise of China as a major strategic rival of the United States.In The Last Warrior , Andrew Krepinevich and Barry Watts,both former members of Marshall's staff,trace Marshall's intellectual development from his upbringing in Detroit during the Great Depression to his decades in Washington as an influential behind-the-scenes advisor on American defence strategy. The result is a unique insider's perspective on the changes in US strategy from the dawn of the Cold War to the present day.Covering some of the most pivotal episodes of the last half-century and peopled with some of the era's most influential figures, The Last Warrior tells Marshall's story for the first time, in the process providing an unparalleled history of the evolution of the American defence establishment.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Andrew Marshall is a Pentagon legend. For more than four decades he has served as Director of the Office of Net Assessment, the Pentagon's internal think tank, under twelve defense secretaries and eight administrations. Yet Marshall has been on the cutting edge of strategic thinking even longer than that. At the RAND Corporation during its golden age in the 1950s and early 1960s, Marshall helped formulate bedrock concepts of US nuclear strategy that endure to this day; later, at the Pentagon, he pioneered the development of 'net assessment' -- a new analytic framework for understanding the long-term military competition between the United States and the Soviet Union. Following the Cold War, Marshall successfully used net assessment to anticipate emerging disruptive shifts in military affairs, including the revolution in precision warfare and the rise of China as a major strategic rival of the United States.
