GP: the lost chapters

Remember when Tom wrote that the deleted chapters from Great Powers would appear online? Two are now up on International Relations and Security Nework.

The original Chapter One is now Creed of an American Grand Strategist: I am a great power. And so can you!

The subtitle was Mark Warren's idea (an obvious link to Colbert's book), which Tom thought was pretty funny.

The original Chapter Two, 'A-to-Z of American Grand Strategy' is now broken into four parts:

+ A lexicon deconstructed: A-G
+ A lexicon deconstructed: H-M
+ A lexicon deconstructed: N-S
+ A lexicon deconstructed: T-Z

For now, we're just linking to ISN. We'll be reprinting both of these lost chapters in their entirety later in the month.

Love the subtitle!

Your link to the Lexicon A-G has a
(line break) in it, preventing it from opening correctly, if you remove that "
" then the link works right.

wasn't in the editing window, but it sure was in the link. fixed now
