Reviews
In this important new book, J. D. Crouch and Patrick Garrity have succeeded in capturing the essence of Bill Rood's thought on strategy without losing its richness. They have embedded his ideas in controversial historical contexts, just as he believed necessary, and have advanced strategic thinking further. Whether you are interested in the man, his ideas, or testing your own analysis, this book will cause you to question received wisdom. This is what Bill Rood most liked to provoke. Rood was Socratic with an edge and a memory. Like Socrates, he had experienced war first hand. For Rood, strategy emerges from wrestling with the complexity and dynamism of real experiences such as those highlighted by Crouch and Garrity., In this important new book, J. D.

They have embedded his ideas in controversial historical contexts, just as he believed necessary, and have advanced strategic thinking further. Whether you are interested in the man, his ideas, or testing your own analysis, this book will cause you to question received wisdom. This is what Bill Rood most liked to provoke. Rood was Socratic with an edge and a memory. Like Socrates, he had experienced war first hand. For Rood, strategy emerges from wrestling with the complexity and dynamism of real experiences such as those highlighted by Crouch and Garrity., The book's fundamental purpose...is to explain Prof. [Bill] Rood's unique perspective on the practice of strategy to those who never had the pleasure of knowing him during his lifetime, and it does so outstandingly. . . .You Run the Show or the Show Runs You is an impressive success in every respect, and a fitting tribute to Prof. Rood's intellectual legacy. Those who knew him personally will read the book with particularly pleasure, given how delightfully it evokes the spirit of the man himself, but even those too young to have been his students will be enlightened as to why, for instance, arguments concerning British defense policy published in the Royal United Services Institute Journal in 1937 might shed light on the strategic problems facing democracies today and in the future., Great minds are lost to history unless their followers sustain and enlarge their ideas. More than an ode to a beloved professor, this book is a tidy compendium of strategic thinking for our days., Great minds are lost to history unless their followers sustain and enlarge their ideas. More than an ode to a beloved professor, this book is a tidy compendium of strategic thinking for our days., Professor Rood's students are a remarkable lot. Here, they pay tribute to a fine teacher whose insights were simple but powerful: "In a world that can promise neither peace nor safety to sovereign nations, it is the burden of statesmanship to look ahead to distant dangers that are today obscured by more immediate concerns, only visible, perhaps to the informed, thoughtful and far-sighted." Would that more American policy makers operated according to that common sense principle.

Synopsis
In this book, J.D. Crouch II and Patrick J. Garrity document and synthesize Harold W. Rood's core teachings. This book celebrates Rood as an extraordinary teacher and captures for future generations his relentless way of challenging conventional wisdom and instilling in his students the ability to think independently of fashionable orthodoxy., For over forty years professor Harold W. Rood developed provocative theories in strategy, international relations, diplomacy and military power, and American foreign policy. Rood's teaching and corpus of original writing greatly influenced generations of students who would go on to play key leadership roles in government and the public policy community. This book synthesizes Rood's core teachings to preserve them for future generations and to stimulate new thinking in his intellectual legacy.

- _***s (6)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaWhen I'd originally placed this order, I had accidentally put in the wrong shipping address. However, the seller was more than helpful, and the CD arrived!! The packaging was wide open when it arrived, but luckily nothing was damaged. Additionally, there was nothing protective on the CD, so that open package made me feel kind of nervous. Otherwise, absolutely great! The customer service was awesome, and the product was as described.

I ordered another and had it sent elsewhere. My main issue was that it felt as if I was getting automated responses at first!! Please have humans review human inquiries!! It was painstaking explaining the situation to an A.I. who only repeats unhelpful replies. Thanks again!! Otherwise. Great price! Great seller!

That was very kind on their part to do that, and I would highly recommend them. Mistakes happen I get that.
