Maritime Strategy or Coalition Defense?

by Robert W. Komer

Overview

This 1984 Abt Books volume is an assessment of U.S. conventional strategic options in an age of nuclear stalemate. Given thirty-five years of dealing professionally with politico-military and operational issues, mostly as a U.S. official, the author writes not as an academic theorist or armchair strategist but as an active participant in the national security process in Washington and in the field.

Editorial Reviews

The book stands above nearly all other defense analyses because of its unique combination of style, history, economics, and vast personal experience.

Journal of Policy Analysis and Management

This is America's foremost Atlanticist, continentalist and NATO-ist at his best...the most thoughtful and articulate statement yet written on the need for a new and more rational NATO coalition strategy.

Defence Attache

...Komer's book is interesting, lucid, and fast-paced. He is quite right that the issues he raises should find their way into public debate...
