Edward N. Luttwak is a senior associate of the Center for Strategic and International Studies. A longtime strategic and security consultant to US government departments, the armed services, and friendly governments, he is the author of The Grand Strategy of the Byzantine Empire, among other books.
At the height of its power, the Roman Empire encompassed the entire Mediterranean basin, extending much beyond it from Britain to Mesopotamia, from the Rhine to the Black Sea. Rome prospered for centuries while successfully resisting attack, fending off everything from overnight robbery raids to full-scale invasion attempts by entire nations on the move. How were troops able to defend the Empire’s vast territories from constant attacks? And how did they do so at such moderate cost that their treasury could pay for an immensity of highways, aqueducts, amphitheaters, city baths, and magnificent temples?
In The Grand Strategy of the Roman Empire, seasoned defense analyst Edward N. Luttwak reveals how the Romans were able to combine military strength, diplomacy, and fortifications to effectively respond to changing threats. Rome’s secret was not ceaseless fighting, but comprehensive strategies that unified force, diplomacy, and an immense infrastructure of roads, forts, walls, and barriers. Initially relying on client states to buffer attacks, Rome moved to a permanent frontier defense around 117 CE. Finally, as barbarians began to penetrate the empire, Rome filed large armies in a strategy of "defense-in-depth," allowing invaders to pierce Rome’s borders.
This updated edition has been extensively revised to incorporate recent scholarship and archeological findings. A new preface explores Roman imperial statecraft. This illuminating book remains essential to both ancient historians and students of modern strategy.
罗马1至3世纪对现代美国是比较有可比性的,作者对全球性战略和罗马之间的本质性相似点找的还是比较准的,即一个政治上的秩序守护和军事上的低成本威慑。 作者强调了军队对于对外来说更多的是一种政治工具和威慑作用,对内的作用相对要直接的多。从本书的角度重新审视罗马,可以...
評分這是我第二次閱讀這部《羅馬帝國的大戰略》,之前出版了二十週年紀念版,作者宣稱有修訂,鑒於中文版翻譯差強人意,我就衝了一本英文版來對照著看。確實Luttwak沒有唬弄人,他在本文主旨不變的情況下加入了一些新的註釋,研究成果跟一篇回應這些年來人們對他作品的評論。 先...
評分E.N.Luttwak的這本《羅馬帝國的大戰略》(The Grand Strategy of the Roman Empire)也是一部經典作品,知名的《羅馬人的故事》中,鹽野阿姨就引用了不少他的觀點跟圖片。 個人相當喜歡這樣的戰略分析,特別是以真實的國家為例子來述說,雖然不免會有一些過於主觀的危險,但在思...

評分加努斯,加里努斯,这两个名字看起来,简直让稍微追求点完美的人士吐槽啊,很容易就搞错 安东尼.庇护,哈德良,图密善,韦斯帕乡,奥利柳斯...... 看过《罗马帝国社会经济史》之后,这些人都能认出来,但我有种想骂娘的感觉 我建议国内还是尽快把罗马皇帝的名字统一一下,不...
