U.S. Army War College Guide to National Security Issues, Vol. II: National Security Policy and Strategy, 3rd Edition

Edited by Dr. J. Boone Bartholomees Jr.

June 2008

285 Pages

Brief Synopsis

Volume II of this edition of the U.S. Army War College Guide (USAWC) to National Security Issues corresponds roughly to one of the two core courses that the Department of National Security and Strategy (DNSS) teaches: “Theory of War and Strategy” and “National Security Policy and Strategy.” Like its predecessors, the complete edition is largely an expansion of the existing materials, although over 40 percent is new, and the previously published chapters have been updated as necessary.
