Book Reviews of Warrior Politics: Why Leadership Demands a Pagan Ethos
Book Review: a bluffer's guide
Summary: 2 Stars
This books "teaches" you about the "old Philosophers". Well, not really, all it does is give a pop account of all the usual suspects from Sun Tzu to (suprisingly, but then he does seem to be quite popular nowadays) Churchill. Though to be fair the best bit is the bit about Churchill.His style reminds me of self-help books or if his style were not so condescending of the Bluffer's Guides. Telling us how "the old Philosopher" would have seen thinks. And how they can help us today (Though all filtered through his shallow interpretation).
But as the original sources are interesting and as they do have something to tell us today it is a good pointer.
So if you have only 30 min to spare pick up this book otherwise get the original or get a good undergrad. philosophy text-book.
