Charles Hill (1936-2021), a career minister in the U.S. Foreign Service, was a research fellow at the Hoover Institution as well as Brady-Johnson Distinguished Fellow in Grand Strategy, Senior Lecturer in International Studies, and Senior Lecturer in Humanities at Yale University.
"A remarkable book. . . . Hill is the exemplification of the
Clausewitzian coup d’oeil—the ability to see how everything
connects to everything else."—John Gaddis, Yale University
"Charles Hill's Grand Strategies is a gem that combines long and
valuable practical experience with the wisdom that comes from a
broad and deep knowledge of history, literature and philosophy to
produce a wisdom badly needed by statesmen and diplomats."—Donald
Kagan, Yale University
“A triumph of intellectual unification. Ranging globally through
history and literature, Hill brilliantly demonstrates how certain
key issues have driven grand strategy and statecraft from ancient
to post-modern times.”—Arthur Waldron, author of The Great Wall of
China: From History to Myth
"In an age of short attention spans and disaggregated facts,
Charles Hill does much to revive two venerable traditions—the
classical ideal of statesmanship, and the close engagement with
great texts.”—Henry A. Kissinger
“Charles Hill's clear-headed and erudite exploration of the world's
literary heritage on the subject of statecraft and the state system
opens wide vistas for understanding the past and future of
international affairs. This is a convincing and much-needed
statement of the essential importance of the humanities in
preparing the leaders of the future.”—Norman M. Naimark, Stanford
University
