Strategy

To think strategically means to anticipate the opponent's actions several steps ahead, to seek the enemy's weak points, and to force them to make mistakes. This important skill is applicable not only to the theater of military operations but also to politics, diplomacy, and economics – areas where foreign interests have long been imposed on our country. The monumental work "Strategy" by the Soviet military leader and outstanding theorist A. Svechin was first published in 1926. It is dedicated to strategy as a military science and contains a detailed guide on implementing an internal security plan, building armed forces, military mobilization, and methods of army management. The theoretical material is accompanied by an analysis of the largest world battles from the perspective of historical experience and the decisions made by military leaders. Today, this book will be useful not only for politicians, diplomats, and historians but also for anyone interested in the art of military and political strategy.
