SynopsisThe 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., America faces a crisis of leadership. Fortunately, there are wise statesmen from our past who can direct our politicians back to the path of wisdom-and inspire the rest of us who want to be good leaders in our homes and communities. In this collection, Johnny Burtka assembles history's finest thinkers on statesmanship, including Cicero and Churchill, Thomas More and George Washington. Drawing on the "mirrors-for-princes" tradition, Gateway to Statesmanship is a survival manual for embattled leaders and a good read for anyone who wants to be a better boss, teacher, or parent.
