First sentence: This book develops a simple idea: politics resembles warfare, so military literature can teach us something about political action.
Description: "The Art of Political Warfare highlights the striking similarities between politics and war. Applying military thought to domestic politics, John J. Pitney, Jr., persuasively argues that the language of war teaches us about political activity. Combining lively storytelling with solid scholarship, he ranges across history to produce a unique field manual for politics." "This book will appeal to campaign operatives, armchair political strategists, and students of political science."--BOOK JACKET.
