Description

The literature on the art of war over centuries presupposed that the decision maker was a single entity with a coherent and unitary political will. The ideal strategy maker was thus Alexander the Great, or a Napoleon. Little was written on the policy- and strategy-making process when there were multiple decision makers. Strategy in peace was recognized especially in the Cold War as something just as real as strategy war.
