Strategy Versus Policy in Europe After World War I
The author argues that military leaders seized policy in WWI, harming unity and outcomes. Statesmen must set aims and inform commanders, preventing renewed militaristic dominance. Europe faces decisions on Russia, Bolshevism, and whether to pressure nations like Roumania, Czechoslovakia, and Jugoslavia into broader conflict. The US should push for a square deal with Russia to defuse militarism.
