But what about the books of the underappreciated military strategist Theodor Geisel, also known as Dr. Seuss? Until \u003ci\u003eDr. Seuss \u0026amp; National Security\u003c\/i\u003e, the military aspect of Ted Geisel's biography and his books have been overlooked by scholars and critics alike. Yet Dr. Seuss books possess direct relevance to national security in part because Ted Geisel's service in the the US Army during WWII made a lasting impact on his worldview. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNumerous traces of Ted Geisel's intense and dangerous wartime experiences can be found in his children's books. Tucked in between bright and vivid drawings of imaginary animals and whimsical settings, the reader may sometimes encounter foreboding dark forests, ariel bombardment, ruthless authority figures, and other evocations of military life. Each of the chapters in this edited volume employs a Dr. Seuss book to illuminate a national security topic. For example, \u003ci\u003eOh, the Places You'll Go\u003c\/i\u003e helps us understand grand strategy in outer space, \u003ci\u003eI Had Trouble Getting to Solla Sollew\u003c\/i\u003e puts new light on Clausewitz's concept of the fog of war, and \u003ci\u003eHunches in Bunches\u003c\/i\u003e can be seen as a primer on military intelligence. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy using beloved childhood stories to illuminate national security topics, this book offers an entertaining way to approach complex topics that can be understood by specialists and non‐experts alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMontgomery McFate\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor at the US Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island.
