The Dutch political scientists Bastiaan van Apeldoorn and Nana de Graaff from the Free University of Amsterdam recently constructed a richly detailed career profile of the US presidency’s top "grand strategy makers" (GSMs), holders of key policymaking Cabinet and senior advisory positions- over the administrations of the 42nd, 43rd and 44th Presidents: Bill Clinton (1993-2001), George W. Bush (2001-09) and Barack Obama (2009-17).
