His academic journey took him to Rutgers, where his early promise in physics hinted at the analytical rigor he later applied to political philosophy. Pursuing his passion for understanding human governance, he earned a PhD under Harry Jaffa at Claremont Graduate School, where he also studied under Leo Strauss. A naval intelligence officer, foreign service officer, and staffer on the US Senate’s Select Committee on Intelligence, Codevilla bridged the worlds of strategic policy \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand classical thought.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHis advocacy for missile defense during the Reagan administration – a concept many deemed visionary – was matched only by his sharp critiques of the bipartisan political class. Codevilla’s profound engagement with the writings of Machiavelli, Tocqueville, and America’s founders informed his incisive works, including \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Character of Nations\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eAmerica’s Rise and Fall Among Nations\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.
