Book Review by Phillip Dolitsky: Strategia: A Primer on Theory and Strategy for Students of War Author: Charles S. Oliviero Reviewed by Phillip Dolitsky, master’s student at the School of International Service, American University Strategia: A Primer on Theory and Strategy for Students of War poses the question “What is the true nature of war?” According to the author, even after studying war for 2,000 years, it is still misunderstood. Topics include war on land, war at sea, and war in the air. The reviewer notes that several relevant strategists names are noticeably absent from the work, including J. C. Wylie, Raymond Aron, Colin S. Gray, and Edward N. Luttwak, and even Thucydides.
