The art of Statescraft

George Washington's last address as president of the United States included these words:

"A primary object should be the education of our youth in the science of government. In a republic, what species of knowledge can be equally important? And what duty more pressing than communicating it to those who are to be the future guardians of the liberties of the country."

The forgotten art of statecraft—the "forgotten realm"—is the subject of this book. But it is not a book of theory that will leave you wondering "well, what do we DO about it?" It is an imminently practical book. It is a handbook for civic understanding and engagement.
