Summary

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.

The Art of Peace Summary

The Art of Peace: Engaging a Complex World by Juliana Geran Pilon

  • 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.

The Art of Peace Reviews

[A] compelling overview of the severe deficiencies in US national security strategy, policy, and operations - it is one of the strongest indictments I have seen of our total inability to wage peace instead of war... essential reading for the war colleges, business schools, and graduate programs that wish to offer their students material relevant to creating a prosperous world at peace. - Robert David Steele, Public Intelligence Blog If I could recommend one book to the Trump Transition Team it would be Dr. Juliana Geran Pilon's The Art of Peace: Engaging in Complex World. I am partial to anyone who can write about Sun Tzu and apply the Art of War to contemporary strategy. However, most such attempts use Sun Tzu as a gimmick to gain attention. Not so with The Art of Peace. Dr. Pilon masterfully uses Sun Tzu to illustrate the problems we have with strategic thought and reminds us of the timeless elements of strategy that are arguably more relevant today than at any time in history. I am even more partial to anyone who can combine Sun Tzu and the Founding Fathers to discuss national security strategy and Dr. Pilon masterfully incorporates American history and political philosophy into her work. - David S. Maxwell, Small Wars Journal
