Thomas More on Statesmanship

This book has been very helpful to a number of my friends involved in politics in Washington DC. This book, if the reader fails to glean anything else, will show people that a life of study is required in order to rise to the top of the political heap and, once there, actually be an effective custodian of the public trust. Peering into the mind of Thomas More sobers the reader and inspires the politically aspirant to get serious about his virtues, both personal and public. An added bonus is that the political philosophy of Thomas More is based upon the mysteries of mankind and not on some limited "conservative" or "liberal" ideology.
