Purchase options and add-ons

Sun Tzu, author of 'The Art of War', believed that the acme of leadership consists in figuring out how to subdue the enemy with the least amount of fighting―a fact that America's Founders also understood, and practiced with astonishing success. For it to work, however, a people must possess both the ability and the willingness to use all available instruments of power in peace as much as in war. US foreign policy has increasingly neglected the instruments of civilian power and become overly dependent on lethal solutions to conflict. The steep rise in unconventional conflict has increased the need for diplomatic and other non-hard power tools of statecraft. The United States can no longer afford to sit on the proverbial three-legged national security stool ("military, diplomacy, development"), where one leg is a lot longer than either of the other two, almost forgetting altogether the fourth leg―information, especially strategic communication and public diplomacy. The United States isn't so much becoming militarized as DE civilianized. According to Sun Tzu, self-knowledge is as important as knowledge of one's enemy: "if you know neither yourself nor the enemy, you will succumb in every battle." Alarmingly, the United States is deficient on both counts. And though we can stand to lose a few battles, the stakes of losing the war itself in this age of nuclear proliferation are too high to contemplate.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Dr. Pilon has unlocked the key to modern US foreign policy
    Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2016

    “The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.”
    ― Sun Tzu, The Art of War

    Never have these words been more true or relevant than in today's society. Dr. Pilon explores the significance of Sun Tzu and his philosophy in her latest book, "The Art of Peace" and the need for the United States to evolve beyond the idea of the military as being the backbone or primary instrument of foreign policy. She emphasizes, rightfully so, the need for the US government to be well informed about their opponents. Accurate information along with an enhanced public diplomacy mission would go a long ways in improving the standing of the US in the modern world. It also plays into the fact that the US desperately needs to rebuild the framework for effective strategic communication. For anyone who studies or works in the fields of foreign policy, strategic communication, US military, or public diplomacy or for anyone with an interest in these fields this book is a must read.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Strategy Therapy
    Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2017
    There are libraries full of books on war, peace, and strategy. You can read many of them but you must read the Art of Peace: Engaging a Complex World. The author correctly finds much wrong with how Americans—officials, academics, and pundits—address U.S. strategy. Juliana Pilon builds her case the old fashion way, with facts, insight, clear thinking, and persuasive arguments. In an original way, she uses Sun Tzu’s concepts and our Founding Father’s principles as a sort of prism to examine our “Strategic Deficit Disorder.” From this foundation she offers many astute comments on how to remedy America’s strategy disorder.
