Warrior Politics: Why Leadership Demands a Pagan Ethos

In Warrior Politics, the esteemed journalist and analyst Robert
D. Kaplan explores the wisdom of the ages for answers for today's
leaders. While the modern world may seem more complex and dangerous than
ever before, Kaplan writes from a deeper historical perspective to
reveal how little things actually change. Indeed, as Kaplan shows us, we
can look to history's most influential thinkers, who would have
understood and known how to navigate today's dangerous political waters.
Drawing
on the timeless work of Sun Tzu, Thucydides, Machiavelli, Hobbes, among
others, Kaplan argues that in a world of unstable states and an
uncertain future, it is increasingly imperative to wrest from the past
what we need to arm ourselves for the road ahead. Wide-ranging and
accessible, Warrior Politics is a bracing book with an
increasingly important message that challenges readers to see the world
as it is, not as they would like it to be.
