Features: This book tells the stories of 20 Western political leaders vying for power. The figures covered range from Abraham Lincoln in the distant past to George W. Bush in recent times, including such prominent political figures as Tony Blair, de Gaulle, Mitterrand, and Junichiro Koizumi. By examining their political careers and exploring their methods of acquiring power, the book reveals why some triumphed while others failed, and summarizes six fundamental strategies, making it a modern Western "Art of War." The history of success and failure of these political figures will offer inspiration and lessons for those who aspire to success today, because effective strategic principles largely remain the same whether in politics, business, academia, or employment.
