      abstract = {This book is a collection of essays that explore  commonalities and contrasts between strategy in armed  conflict and strategy in public health, disciplines linked  by the devastating consequences of strategic failure. The  formal sections use the asymptotic limit theorems of  information and control theories to study strategy as an  exchange of messages between adversaries, in the context of  underlying power relations. The messages to be exchanged  are constructed from an alphabet of tactics available to  each contender, in a large sense. The formal development is  interspersed with a number of case histories from this  perspective, ranging across agribusiness-generated  pandemics, through tuberculosis and COVID-19. The final  chapter attempts a strategic synthesis applicable more  specifically to public health than to the remarkably and  disturbingly close parallel of armed conflict. Taking a  unique approach to public health tactics and strategy this  volume will be of interest to social epidemiologists,  public health economists, public policy scientists, as well  as public health researchers and practitioners.},
