From my personal experience, many Chess books tends to try covering as many fields of knowledge as possible, but doesn't really dig deep into anything, and not digging into anything deep enough normally causes the reader to reread the book, since they are not able to remember anything from their first read.

Strategy used to receive the same, or similar, treatment when compared to tactics. You could read sentences like 'Grandmasters spend much more time in developing plans rather than in calculating variations' and so forth.

My concern about those statements by famous players led me to devote some time to the study of the endgame, which eventually I enjoyed.
