Clay Blair, Jr. was an American historian renowned for his books on military history. His work was notable for its sharp criticism of senior American political and military leaders, particularly in his definitive accounts of the Korean War. Blair's approach favored a top-down perspective, emphasizing operational issues and the views of commanders over individual soldiers. Through his writings, including influential studies on the submarine war of World War II, he analyzed complex military campaigns and strategic decisions, bringing military history to a broad audience.
