Arminio, Joseph A. Precedent for Peace: Ancient China's Strategy & a Plan for the Prevention of World War
Montchanin, Del. Intrepid Press 096449910X / 9780964499102 Paperback
Book Description&newline; PRECEDENT FOR PEACE marshals history for a vital purpose. Part I sets down for the first time in detail The Grand Strategy of the Han Empire, circa 209-106 B. C. Part II offers the lengthy application, which involves several elements, a warning that peace slips away in the 1990s; a plan that purports to arrest and consolidate peace; and proof that the plan will indeed succeed. Ancient China was on the supreme issue of war and peace like a microcosm of the present world. The Han statesmen were astonishingly successful peace-makers. Sun Tzu's THE ART OF WAR is shown to have met extraordinary practitioners. So skilled and humane was Liu Pang, founder of the Han Empire and hero of Part I, that the British historian Arnold Toynbee ranked him as the greatest statesman in the whole of history, certainly superior to Augustus Caesar. But American policy abroad falls far short of the Han standard. Indeed a new evil is congealing. We find ourselves face to face with a ! Hydra. The heads include Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Libya, and others. If we are to liberaste more of the planet, let alone avoid massive war, we must correct our course-and do it now! But how? By the settlement of just grievances, the skilled positioning of forces, the deployment of novel global defenses. Let us, in short, earn peace the Han way.; 383 pages
