The Six Pillars Of The New American Partnership Discounted Special Release

When the Founders wrote the Constitution in 1787, they did not have a contemporary democracy or republic to use as an example.

In this fascinating inquiry, Charles Moster identifies the five main things which went wrong and proposes as his Sixth Pillar - a new Constitution and new government to address the problems - the New American Partnership.

Since its creation in 1963, United States Southern Command has been led by 30 senior officers representing all four of the armed forces. None has undertaken his leadership responsibilities with the cultural sensitivity and creativity demonstrated by Admiral Jim Stavridis during his tenure in command.

In its place he created an organization designed not to subdue adversaries, but instead to build durable and enduring partnerships with friends. His observation that it is the business of Southern Command to launch "ideas not missiles" into the command's area of responsibility gained strategic resonance throughout the Caribbean and Central and South America, and at the highest levels in Washington, DC.
