About the Book

Rapidly approaching the end of our first decade in Afghanistan and recently returned from a bruising mission in Iraq, it is time to examine why our military forces struggle on modern operations. The answer is strategy. We rarely have it. We don't know how to form it. We don't even really know what it is. Strategy For Action explains how it should be done. Lessons from history, current business practice and new insights are fused into a framework for strategic decision making.

About the Author :
Commodore Steven Jermy RN retired from the Royal Navy in 2010. His commands included HM Ships Tiger Bay, Upton, Arrow, Cardiff, the 5th Destroyer Squadron, and the Fleet Air Arm. He saw active service flying from HMS Invincible during the Falklands War and his final operational tour was as Strategy Director in the British Embassy in Kabul in 2007. He gained an MPhil in International Relations from Pembroke College, Cambridge in 1993, graduated from the Royal College of Defence Studies in 2008 and now writes, lectures and consults on modern strategy.

Review :
"His analysis is damning ... This thorough and educative volume should become the standard textbook for anyone embarking on a study of strategy ... This should become the "must read", not just for any aspiring military officer, but for anyone in government, academia or the media who will have anything to do with judgement about the use of military force ... Commodore Jermy's superb exploration of strategic thinking should provide an electric shock to at least parts of the system." Bernard Jenkin MP, Chairman, PASC (Public Administration Select Committee), 02 Jan 2011 "Essential reading for anyone making or likely to be asked to implement strategy." Peter Hore in Warships International Fleet Review(Mar 2011 edn) "I think it is excellent. In the 1990s we divorced war-fighting from war winning. We lost our ability to think clearly at the strategic level and connect military operations to the accomplishment of policy goals and objectives. This is an important monograph and I know that there would be considerable interest in the U.S." Brigadier General H.R. McMaster, US Army. "I read Strategy for Action with enormous enjoyment. It is full of good things. Especially valuable is his three-fold definition of war, and his distinction between the Clausewitzean and Jominian schools of thought. ... I think he has written an excellent book, and I hope it gets widely read." - Sir Michael Howard
