"It is where the greatest issues of the human condition are played out."A distinguished lifelong diplomat and educator, Hill aims to revive the ancient tradition of statecraft as practiced by humane and broadly educated men and women. Through lucid and compelling discussions of classic literary works from Homer to Rushdie, Grand Strategies represents a merger of literature and international relations, inspired by the conviction that "a grand strategist . . . needs to be immersed in classic texts from Sun Tzu to Thucydides to George Kennan, to gain real-world experience through internships in the realms of statecraft, and to bring this learning and experience to bear on contemporary issues."This fascinating and engaging introduction to the basic concepts of the international order not only defines what it is to build a civil society through diplomacy, justice, and lawful governance but also describes how these ideas emerge from and reflect human nature. 606 $aDiplomacy in literature 606 $aInternational relations in literature 606 $aDiplomacy$xHistory 606 $aInternational relations$xHistory 606 $aPolitics and literature$xHistory 615 0$aDiplomacy in literature. 615 0$aInternational relations in literature. 615 0$aDiplomacy$xHistory. 615 0$aInternational relations$xHistory. 615 0$aPolitics and literature$xHistory. 676 $a809/.933581 700 $aHill$b Charles$f1936-$01647136 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807697303321 996 $aGrand strategies$94007769 997 $aUNINA
