Abstract
Effective-field-theory methods are used to study the high T limit of QCD. These methods unravel the contributions to the free energy of QCD at high temperature from the scales T, gT, and g^2 T. The free energy is explicitly computed to order g^5. Implications for the application of perturbative QCD to the quark-gluon plasma are also discussed.
