This book not only shows you the relationship between politics and war but also uncovers the real reson why politicians do what they do. Pitney uses well known events as examples to support his writing. From Nixon to Clinton to Newt, Pitney discusses their triumphs and pitfalls, and what they did to achieve them.
The Art of Political Warefare is not just a guide to war and state and local politics but can be applied to corporate politics as well. I am requiring my staff to read it.
John, keep up the good work!
More importantly, this book illuminates the battlespace for those involved in fighting terrorism around the world. It shows the warfighter how the strategic application of political warfare, as part of an overall military strategy, can often be far more effective than ordnance and bullets in achieving military objectives. The terrorist enemy already knows this lesson. It's time the civilized world learned it and practiced it. Pitney helps show the way.
