Orchestrating the Instruments of Power

D. Robert Worley is a senior fellow at the Johns Hopkins University Center for Advanced Governmental Studies. He is the author of Shaping U.S. Military Forces: Revolution or Relevance in a Post–Cold War World.

“D. Robert Worley’s scholarly and objective work opens the arcane subject of national security policy and strategy to the general public, provides a valuable resource for students and practitioners, and demonstrates the challenges in adapting a system created for distinct eras of peace and war to modern complexities.”-John T. Hanley Jr., former director for strategy, Office of the Director of National Intelligence    “The problem of integrating all elements of national power to achieve specified goals-the problem of strategy-is rarely treated in comprehensive fashion. Robert Worley’s new volume is one of the very few that grapple with this challenge. The book’s impressive breadth of treatment and its coherent framework will be of great use to students of U.S. national security strategy. The reader will come away with a wide-ranging and rigorous education in the tools, concepts, theories, and problems at the heart of U.S. strategy.”-Michael J. Mazarr, professor of national security strategy at the U.S. National War College
