The newest interview of Edward Luttwak on "Conversation with History" ( I love Harry Kreisler) reminds me
one more time of the extraordinary knowledge skills of this men. Luttwak took very abstract terms
and definition like "strategy" or "diplomacy" and put them, after you read it, obvious relation, fill
them with flesh aka examples and give you a deeper understanding of them.
Albeit you can not go with his concepts and argumentation his starting point give you the direction
of new thoughts.
For example, in my opinion he doesn't distinct very clearly between the "tactical level of strategy"
and "the operational level of strategy" and the "theatre level of strategy"...is it time, space, amount
of people and material or the amount and variety of instruments, like different arms branches? But
more on this later...
