Drawing on his decades of experience as a foreign policy analyst and adviser, Kaplan distills the essence of grand strategy into 10 key principles. These principles, which range from "Control the rimlands" to "Don't try to change the world," provide a framework for thinking about and executing grand strategy in the 21st century.

Kaplan argues that grand strategy is not simply about winning wars or achieving short-term goals. Rather, it is about shaping the future of the world in a way that benefits one's own country. To do this, Kaplan says, countries must have a clear understanding of their national interests and be willing to use all the tools at their disposal, including diplomacy, economic statecraft, and military force.

Kaplan's 10 principles of grand strategy are:

1. Control the rimlands
2. Secure the sea lanes
3. Build a powerful navy
4. Have a clear foreign policy
5. Be willing to use force
6. Don't overextend
7. Build alliances
8. Be patient
9. Learn from history
10. Don't try to change the world

These principles are not always easy to follow, but Kaplan argues that they are essential for any country that wants to achieve its goals in the world. By following these principles, countries can increase their chances of success and avoid the pitfalls that have befallen other great powers in the past.

Grand Strategy in 10 Words is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the complex world of international relations. Kaplan's insights are clear, concise, and thought-provoking. This book is a valuable resource for anyone who wants to learn more about grand strategy and how it can be used to shape the future of the world.
