"[A] forceful look at many of the notable rivalries of history....Among the strengths of the work overall is that the chapters, whose topics are distinct and can be read independently, nonetheless allow a reader to encounter both thematic patterns between rivalries and complementary vantage points of different powers' strategic positions....Great Strategic Rivalries usefully examines over two millennia of military history in an informative and usefulway....[A]n effective work that is well organized and expertly written, and the result is a worthwhile resource."--Nicholas Michael Sambaluk, Journal of Military History"An excellent introductory chapter and sixteen valuable essays on the great international struggles of history, from the contest between Athens and Sparta to that between the Cold War superpowers. Each one can be read--and will be greatly used by students and professors alike--as a stand-alone survey. It's a great addition."--Paul Kennedy, Yale University"From the conflict between Athens and Sparta which ravaged ancient Greece, to the Cold War which dominated the 20th century, humanity has been plagued by these collisions. Here this phenomenon, the great strategic rivalries which have inflicted such sufferings on mankind, is considered in its own right. James Lacey has brought together a series of forensic dissections of the causes and effects of these terrible events across world history. Every chapter iswritten by an expert of international repute who describes and analyses the course of events. The result is much more than an antiquarian look at the past, for we now face fresh uncertainties as newrivalries emerge in our uncertain world. Those who write here scorn simplicities and slogans, and instead offer insight into the complexity of human affairs at the highest level, for 'Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it.'"--John France, Swansea University"This impressive collection of essays is the first serious historical investigation of enduring strategic rivalries as a structural feature of inter-state conflicts. The case studies range from Athens and Sparta's clash in the Peloponnesian War to US-Soviet rivalry during the Cold War, and cover not only the motivations behind such enmities, but the broader conditions which call them forth and bring them to an often abrupt conclusion."--Peter Wilson, All SoulsCollege, University of Oxford"Kudos to James Lacey who has assembled preeminent military historians to explain the strategic rivalries of great powers from the Greeks to the Cold War. What emerges is a superb reminder that human nature over the ages does not change and nations remain governed as much by their collective emotions as by their rational calculations. The result is a professional and refreshing effort to remind us that behind the fog of war there are always strategies, whetherfoolish or inspired." --Victor Davis Hanson, Stanford University, author of Carnage and Culture, "An excellent introductory chapter and sixteen valuable essays on the great international struggles of history, from the contest between Athens and Sparta to that between the Cold War superpowers.

Synopsis
Great Strategic Rivalries explores the histories and implications of past strategic rivalries so as to bring forth lessons pertinent to today's geopolitical world. The starting assumption is that each of these rivalries holds a number of areas of commonality from which one can determine pitfalls as well as opportunities (many of them missed). For instance, even a cursory glance at history's great strategic rivals indicates that virtually all of them began as "commercial rivalries" and then transitioned into a strategic rivalry centered on military power. One could even claim a commercial interest was at the heart of the US-USSR rivalry, but this time rather than a contest over global markets each power aimed at ensuring its economic ideology (Communism vs. Capitalism) was triumphant. In addition, history tells us that such enduring strategic rivalries typically end in one of three ways: a series of exhausting conflicts in which one side eventually prevails (Rome vs. Carthage), a peaceful and hopefully orderly transition (Great Britain vs. the US at the turn of the 20th century), or a one-sided collapse (Soviet Union in 1991). The first work covering a key element of the strategic relationship between states from ancient history to the late 20th century, Great Strategic Rivalries fills a major gap in the historiography of state relations. Each chapter provides an accessible narrative of an historically significant rivalry, comprehensively covering all aspects (political, diplomatic, economic, and military) of its history. The authors -- including Barry Strauss, Geoffrey Parker, Williamson Murray, and Geoffrey Wawro -- are all renowned historians and recognized experts in their selected topics., The first work covering a key element of the strategic relationship between states from ancient history to the late 20th century, Great Strategic Rivalries fills a major gap in the historiography of state relations. Each chapter provides an accessible narrative of an historically significant rivalry, comprehensively covering all aspects (political, diplomatic, economic, and military) of its history., From the legendary antagonism between Athens and Sparta during the Peloponnesian War to the Napoleonic Wars and the two World Wars of the twentieth century, the past is littered with long-term strategic rivalries. History tells us that such enduring rivalries can end in one of three ways: a series of exhausting conflicts in which one side eventually prevails, as in the case of the Punic Wars between ancient Rome and Carthage, a peaceful and hopefully orderly transition, like the rivalry between Great Britain and the United States at the turn of the twentieth century, or a one-sided collapse, such as the conclusion of the Cold War with the fall of the Soviet Union. However, in spite of a wealth of historical examples, the future of state rivalries remains a matter of conjecture. Great Strategic Rivalries explores the causes and implications of past strategic rivalries, revealing lessons for the current geopolitical landscape. Each chapter offers an accessible narrative of a historically significant rivalry, comprehensively covering the political, diplomatic, economic, and military dimensions of its history. Featuring original essays by world-class historians--including Barry Strauss, Geoffrey Parker, Williamson Murray, and Geoffrey Wawro--this collection provides an in-depth look at how interstate relations develop into often violent rivalries and how these are ultimately resolved. Much more than an engaging history, Great Strategic Rivalries contains valuable insight into current conflicts around the globe for policymakers and policy watchers alike.
