Reviewer Comment: This is one of the
excellent Great Courses series - 24 lectures on DVD and Inernet streaming plus
this transcript. The author focuses on the thoughts on strategy of each of his
selected authors. But he includes excellent summaries of the historical context
in which they lived and wrote. And without over doing it he enables the reader
to consider how and what, if any, their strategic concepts are still relevant
to today's world.
