Gateway to Statesmanship: Selections from Xenophon to Churchill Kindle Edition

by John A. Burtka (Editor), Larry P. Arnn (Foreword) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 20 ratings
The study of statesmanship is not a subject for leaders in politics alone. It is the study of the whole human being in thought and action.

The classics teach us of the difficult choices that must be made, an activity that guides lives and forms character. This collection of writings includes ancient, Medieval, Renaissance, and modern scholarship on statesmanship from Xenophon, Aristotle, Cicero, Augustine, Erasmus, Niccolo Machiavelli, George Washington, Theodore Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and more, selected and with an introduction by the president of the Intercollegiate Studies Institute, John A. Burtka.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Wisdom distilled into a beautiful read
    Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    After seeing the author being interviewed by Tucker Carlson I decided to buy the book and I was not disappointed. The author is doing us a service by condensing all of the best wisdom over thousands of years on statesmanship and how to carry yourself and raise children. It was fascinating to see the common threads woven throughout history of what makes humans great. I endorse quality work like this book.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Hollow Statesmanship: A Critique of Burtka's Shallow Dive
    Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2024
    While "Gateway to Statesmanship: Selections from Xenophon to Churchill" is comprised of historical texts, the guide supposed to navigate readers through the intricacies of statesmanship, John Burtka, falls short. Larry Arnn, in his introduction, candidly admits Burtka's lack of experience in the realm of statesmanship, inviting readers to explore these historical figures alongside the author. However, this approach results in disjointed chapters and questionable selections of figures, leaving one to ponder the criteria behind Burtka's choices. Ideally suited for a historian or scholar, this text falters under Burtka's guidance. In sum, the book is found wanting.
