N2  - A historical study of the strategic priority placed by states on land, sea and, more recently, air power, and the extent to which peace time decisions proved relevant when tested in war. Successive chapters range from the experiences of Ancient Greeks and Romans, through the rise and fall of the Ottoman empire, the Dutch republic, the struggle between Britain and France to prevent French domination of Europe, to the major wars of the twentieth century. The final chapter considers the cold war years and the post cold war era
