Editorial Reviews

Review

“[A] detailed, rigorous account of Marshall's career.... The intricacies of net assessment, which offer options but not recommendations for strategic defense policymakers, are skillfully unraveled… readers of foreign policy and specialists will find the authors' research impressive and Marshall's story enlightening.”
Library Journal

“A fascinating account of the life and career of one of America's leading strategic thinkers, The Last Warrior outlines much of the intellectual history of American security since World War II, while also shining a light on the challenges we continue to face.”
—Mac Thornberry, Member of Congress

“Andrew Marshall mentored a series of Secretaries of Defense, beginning with James Schlesinger, in devising strategies for competing successfully with global adversaries. The Last Warrior tells that story, and shows how Marshall used the revolutionary concept of ‘Net Assessment' to do it.”
—Harold Brown, 14th U.S. Secretary of Defense

“[A] thoughtful and fascinating book.”
Wall Street Journal

“I recently had the opportunity to review an advance copy of a biography on Andrew Marshall. I'll save you the suspense: It's worth your time and money.”
—LCDR Christopher Nelson, USN, Foreign Policy

“A respectful biography.... If you think America's herky-jerky national security policies and the hyper-expensive establishment serving it are flawed, The Last Warrior helps explain why.”
—Laurence Barrett, European Affairs

“In telling Marshall's story, [Krepinevich and Watts] also cover much of the history of U.S. national security and foreign policy over the past 60 years.”
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review

“An objective and perceptive intellectual history of Marshall and his work.”
Publishers Weekly

“In clear prose, the authors trace the career of this brilliant strategic thinker.... An elucidating intellectual history of an influential strategic sage that few outsiders have ever heard of.”
Kirkus Reviews
