Dr. Inboden has been an exemplary mentor and friend. I hope this book honors the legacy of Bill Clements—former governor of Texas, deputy defense secretary, and confidant to President Ronald Reagan—whose family foundation created the Clements Center and helps fund my position there. Many thanks to Nina Silove, Josh Busby, Josh Eisenman, Eugene Gholz, Patrick McDonald, Sharyl Cross, Megan Reiss, Ben Griffin, Larry O’Bryon, and especially Anna Scanlon, who provided comments on earlier drafts of this book. I’d like to thank Klon Kitchen, whose office at the National Defense Uni- versity was down the hall from mine. Much of this book originated in our arguments over lunch; Klon’s was the voice of persistent, nagging, and often persuasive disagreement in my head as I tried to refine ideas over the years. I suspect Klon will find more in this book that he disagrees with than other- wise, which is why he was such a helpful foil, spur, and debating partner. “Better is open rebuke than hidden love. Faithful are the wounds of a friend; profuse are the kisses of an enemy” (Proverbs 27:5–6). Thank you to my children, Liam, Lily, and Lydia, for their laughter and smiles. Finally, thank you to my long- suffering wife, who showed saintly patience as she lived with this book and my preoccupation with it for many months. This book is inspired in part on ideas I first explored in “American Grand Strategy and the Democratic Peace,” Survival, vol. 54, issue 2, April/May 2012, pp. 49–76, and “Five Pillars of U.S. Grand Strategy,” Survival, vol. 54, issue 5, October/November 2012, pp. 7–44. These articles have been copy- righted by the International Institute for Strategic Studies and are used with permission. The views in this book and any errors are my own. All statements of fact, opinion, or analysis expressed are mine and do not reflect the official positions of the US government, any of its departments or agencies, either ix This content downloaded from (cid:0)(cid:0)(cid:0)(cid:0)(cid:0)(cid:0)(cid:0)(cid:0)(cid:0)(cid:0)(cid:0)(cid:0)155.247.166.234 on Mon, 04 Jan 2021 01:33:51 UTC(cid:0)(cid:0)(cid:0)(cid:0)(cid:0)(cid:0)(cid:0)(cid:0)(cid:0)(cid:0)(cid:0)(cid:0) All use subject to https://about.jstor.org/terms
