John Lewis Gaddis is the Robert A. Lovett Professor of History at Yale University, and was the founding director of the Brady-Johnson Program in Grand Strategy. His book On Grand Strategy is what sparked Sean\\u2019s desire to feature him!

Gaddis defines \\u201cgrand strategy\\u201d as aligning \\u201cpotentially unlimited aspirations with necessarily limited capabilities\\u201d and highlights the persistent error of focusing on the former while ignoring\\xa0the latter. On this episode John draws on a range of thinkers, including Thucydides, Machiavelli, Clausewitz, and Tolstoy and how they used strategy to shape history. In addition,\\xa0 Professor Gaddis teaches courses on Cold War history, grand strategy, biography, and historical methodology.\\xa0 His George F. Kennan: \\xa0An American Life, won the 2012 Pulitzer Prize in Biography.
