The Stanford Emerging Tech Review 2025

Dear Friend,

In a world shaped by urgency and conflict, it’s easy to lose sight of why the past matters. Yet history’s lessons remain essential—especially now, when global challenges demand clarity and perspective.

Strategika—the Hoover Institution’s online journal on military history and contemporary conflict—was created to provide diplomats, policymakers, scholars, and citizens with clear, historically grounded insights on the world’s most pressing security challenges. Each issue pairs background essays with sharp commentary, avoiding ideology and focusing on lessons that last.

To mark the special occasion of the 100th issue of Strategika, I am pleased to offer you complimentary access to “Issue 100: The Current Status of Military History,” with an introduction from Victor Davis Hanson. In it, Hanson and his colleagues reflect on why military history remains indispensable for understanding today’s conflicts.
