On March 17, FD Senior Military Fellow Matthew R. Crouch wrote a book review in DODReads on The Strategist: Brent Scowcroft and the Call of National Security by Scowcroft Center Nonresident Senior Fellow Bartholomew Sparrow. Crouch argues that the book presents a balanced and robust explanation of the life of General Scowcroft, whose life was an inspiration for many.
Sparrow’s cogent and balanced examination of General Scowcroft’s decisions, including a retrospective self-critique by the General, grants The Strategist singular status and makes it a truly important work…
Forward Defense, housed within the Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security, generates ideas and connects stakeholders in the defense ecosystem to promote an enduring military advantage for the United States, its allies, and partners. Our work identifies the defense strategies, capabilities, and resources the United States needs to deter and, if necessary, prevail in future conflict.
