Modern Strategy is a major contribution to our understanding of
strategic theory and practice. The Washington Times, March 2000
Over the years, no writer has addressed the topic of strategy more
comprehensively or systematically than Colin Gray. The Washington
Times, March 2000
Modern Strategy is his finest effort to date. The Washington Times,
March 2000
`Gray has been writing about, professing, or "practicing" strategy
for thirty years, and whether or not you agree with him, he is
among the few scholars of strategy who should never be ignored.'
Mark T. Clark Director, National Security Studies, California State
University. Naval War College Review, Spring 2000
`...his thesis is worth understanding; modern strategy (indeed all)
strategy is still a subject worth studying. Anyone interested in
learning more about it will benefit from his work.' Mark T. Clark
Director, National Security. Naval War College Review, Spring
2000
"The material is so rich in allusion and reference...the approach
so novel, the insights often so extraordinary...there are many
"brilliant pebbles" of wisdom and insight" Naval Review, April
2001
Covers so much ground...masterfully sets out the relationship
between politics, ethics and strategy....Gray's critique is
considered and he always draws what is best from the theories he
rejects....a dazzlingly brilliant guide to a wide range of
issues...Gray writes from the perspective of an insider in the
western military establishment, but even its critics will be
informed, entertained and provoked by this book." Royal Institute
of International Affairs, Vol
76, October 2000
'This is an outstanding contribution to strategic studies, a
comprehensive placing of virtually all theorists and historians of
war and strategy and is hugely thought-provoking.' Morning Star
