American foreign policy is the subject of extensive debate. Many look to domestic factors as the driving forces of bad policies. Benjamin Miller instead seeks to account for changes in US international strategy by developing a theory of grand strategy that captures the key security approaches available to US decision-makers in times of war and peace.Grand Strategy from Truman to Trump makes a crucial contribution to our understanding of competing grand strategies that accounts for objectives and means of security policy. Miller puts forward a model that is widely applicable, based on empirical evidence from post-WWII to today, and shows that external factors—rather than internal concerns—are the most determinative.

The book explores the factors influencing why some regions experience war while others enjoy peace, introducing a theoretical framework that differentiates between 'hot' and 'cold' outcomes based on the intensity of conflict or harmony. It emphasizes the balance between states and nations as crucial in determining a region's tendency toward war or peace, supported by case studies from the Middle East, the Balkans, South America, and Western Europe. The author also offers insights on promoting peace in conflict-affected areas, drawing on comparative regional data.

The author of these memoirs was born on 2nd April 1776, and enlisted in the Royal Artillery on 9th December 1795 for unlimited service . He was promoted Bombardier in Oct 1804, Corporal in February 1809 and Serjeant in October 1911. He was discharged on 1st April 1815 with a pension of 1s 61/2d a day. He died at Melbury Osmund in 1865 in his 88th year. His service took him first to Gibraltar in April 1796, and two years later he was in the expedition to take Minorca and subsequently returned to Gibraltar. His next spell of active service was in Egypt, where he arrived in 1801. He was soon in action against the French, and describes the fighting vividly. He was wounded in a French cavalry charge on the guns, and sustained sword wounds in both legs. A counter-attack by the Black Watch killed every Frenchman who had got into the battery. This is a remarkable story of service in the army during the Napoleonic Wars both in and out of battlle. Miller served in the Peninsula War too, and took part in the retreat to Corunna, an appalling experience. This is an exciting piece of military history, as seen by an ordinary British soldier.

The battle of Tannenberg in 1914 is one of history s great turning points. Germany s war plans in 1914 were based on the assumption that Russia would only mobilise slowly and that Germany would have time to deal decisively with France via the Schlieffen Plan, before turning east to settle accounts with Russia. East Prussia was therefore left only lightly defended, with the bulk of the German army deployed in France. But when the Russians invaded with the twin armies of Generals Samsonev and Rennenkampf, beating Germany s inept General von Prittwitz at Gumbinnen, the German heartland was in extreme peril. Generals Hindenburg and his brilliant lieutenant Erich Ludendorff were summoned from France with reinforcements to save the situation. They put into effect a plan already devised by General Max Hoffmann to deal with the two Russian armies piecemeal, crushing and virtually annihilating them at Tannenberg and the Masurian Lakes. The victories turned the eastern front into a slow slogging match and ruled out a quick end to the war. The author of this history, Major-General Sir Edmund Ironside, later became Chief of the Imperial General Staff and commanded anti-Bolshevik forces in Russia after the war. He therefore knows the area he describes well, and his book provides a clear account of this famous German victory written with an expert military eye.

Welche Rolle spielen Imaginationen, Vorstellungen oder innere Bilder in fachlichen Lernprozessen? In „Imagination und fachliches Lernen“ zeigt Benjamin Miller: Mit Imaginationen können unbewusste, intuitive und implizite Faktoren des Lernens stärkere Berücksichtigung in fachlichen Lernprozessen finden. Der Autor arbeitet heraus, dass und wie Imaginationen Ausdruck der Beziehung zwischen Person und Sache sind. Sie ermöglichen einen konkreten Ansatzpunkt, fachliches und persönlichkeitsstärkendes Lernen zu fördern. Die Thematik des Buches wird auf vier Ebenen behandelt: Erstens auf der theoretischen Ebene, zweitens auf der konzeptionellen Ebene, drittens auf einer pragmatisch-pädagogischen Ebene sowie viertens auf der empirischen Ebene. So gelingt es, den theoretischen Hintergrund für eine imaginationszentrierte Didaktik vorzustellen, aus dem heraus pädagogisch-didaktische Konkretisierungen entwickelt werden. Lehrende, Pädagogen und psychologisch Interessierte finden in diesem Werk fundiertes Wissen und konkrete Ansatzpunkte für die imaginationsbasierte Arbeit mit Lernenden.
