Strategy and Diplomacy, 1870-1945
by Paul Kennedy
Description
Spanning the turbulent years from 1870 to 1945, this study examines how industrial power, technological change, economic resources, and national strategy reshaped international relations and modern warfare. Rather than focusing narrowly on individual campaigns or leaders, it connects the decisions of governments to the productive capacity, financial strength, and logistical endurance of the states they represented. Through a wide-ranging analysis of military policy and great-power competition, the book explores arms races, strategic adaptation, imperial ambition, and the dangers of overextension. Its integrated approach offers a lasting framework for understanding why some powers endured while others found their ambitions outmatched by economic reality.
