FSO's Top 10 Ask The Expert Interviews for 2002
We live in dangerous times, when a new kind of leadership is required.
Visionary and ruthlessly strategic, Warrior Politics extracts the
best of the wisdom of the ages for modern leaders who are faced with the
complex life-and-death challenges of today’s world—and determined to win.
Replete with maxims, warnings, examples from history, and shrewd recommendations, Warrior Politics wrests from the past the lessons we need to arm ourselves for the present. It offers an invaluable template for any decision-maker—in foreign policy or in business—faced with high stakes and inadequate knowledge of a mine-filled terrain. As we gear ourselves up for a new kind of war, no book is more prescient, more shrewd, or more essential.
