Long Needed Treatise, But Too ExpensiveBy Robert David STEELE VivasEDIT of 11 December 2011: Gene Poteat, President of the Association of Former Intelligence Officers (AFIO) has an excellent review of this book in the Summer/Fall 2011 issue of Intelligencer. The following quote is from his review, it captures the essence with perfection:"The weakness and deteriorating standing of America in the world today is the failure to take into account the role of information, disinformation, ideas, values, culture, and religion plays in the influence and conduct of foreign and policy."While the above glosses over the corporate capture and abject corruption of all three branches of the Federal government, it certainly summarizes and recommends the book in question. See also my graphic, "Information Pathologies," loaded above next to cover.End EditIn the midst of an economic depression, it is a real shame to see a book that is so very relevant to unscrewing the , and also see the same book terribly over-priced. At 230 pages this book should be offered at 24.95, and a donor should be found to permit the author to speak to the Department of State via the Secretary's Open Forum, with a free copy of the book to every person attending.The author is the founder of the Institute of World , a rather unique institution that offers three Masters programs and that strives to do what no other university can claim: to teach a mastery of all of the instruments of national power, and to teach how culture, ethics, strategy, and philosophy can come together to drive Whole of Government planning, programming, budgeting, and execution so as to advance both the prosperity and the protection of the Republic.This book came to my attention after I found and truly enjoyed another book out of the Institute of World Policy, by for Winning the by Juliana Geran Pilon. Everything I read about the Institute, or by those associated with it, offers a very strong, coherent, culturally- compelling vision of how to advance positive values inherent in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America.Where the author and the book are strongest--beyond five stars--is in their emphasis, insight, and coherence with respect to as a much needed "first string" activity. Today what passes for public diplomacy at the Department of State is a couple of ladies who came up through television broadcasting, are gaga over Silicon Valley, and appear to have no idea how to actually engage in Information Operations (IO), how to create an Autonomous Internet with Liberation Technology including OpenBTS, or even what concepts and cultural values we should be striving to share with the rest of the world.I suspect the author and I may differ on the role of intelligence--he came up in an era when intelligence was about secret , strategic analytics (when not demeaned by politicized directors of central intelligence), and an absolute focus on tearing the Soviet Union apart. I came up from the Third World side, and led the totally unsuccessful fight after the demise of the Soviet Union to get one third of the National Intelligence Topics (NIT) directed toward unconventional, asymmetric, and failed state environments, and especially the Southern Hemisphere as a whole. I have also led the Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) movement that 90 countries now get (but not the USA), and am focused now on M4IS2: multinational, multiagency, multidisciplinary, multidomain informtion-sharing and sense-making. I believe a national intelligence community with integrity should not only provide Whole of Government intelligence, but also help the President see how immediately we can cut secret intelligence and defense contracting to achieve savings while also redirecting at least $200 billion toward public diplomacy and strategic commerce as well as global education and influence operations.Here are a few books that I have been able to enjoy overtime that I believe are complementary to the author's offering, but his book stands alone today, I know of no other that even comes close to addressing what I consider to be a most righteous term, "full spectrum diplomacy."Strategic Intelligence and Statecraft: Selected Essays (Brassey's Intelligence National Security Library)Modern StrategyThe Search for Security: A U.S. Grand Strategy for the Twenty-First CenturyGrand Strategies: Literature, Statecraft, and World OrderIntelligence Power in Peace and WarOn Intelligence: Spies and Secrecy in an Open WorldTHE SMART NATION ACT: Public Intelligence in the Public InterestThe World Is Open: How Web Technology Is Revolutionizing Education (Wiley Desktop Editions)The Leadership of Civilization Building: Administrative and civilization theory, Symbolic Dialogue, and Citizen Skills for the 21st Century

Full Spectrum Diplomacy and Grand Strategy: Reforming the Structure and Culture of U.S. Foreign Policy, by John Lenczowski, offers a solution to one of the greatest weaknesses in U.S. foreign policy that has exacerbated the unprecedented anti-Americanism of recent yearsmdash;the U.S. Government's inability to conduct the 'full spectrum' of diplomatic arts and to integrate them with the other arts of statecraft at the level of grand strategy. The analysis presents a critique of how the Department of State's focus on traditional, government-to-government diplomacy comes at the expense of public diplomacy. 'Public Diplomacy' is defined in the broadest sense as including all those arts that involve relations with, and influence over, foreign publics and opinion leaders, including: , exchanges, information policy, strategic communications, psychological strategy, political action, , and of ideas. Author John Lenczowski, one of the first modern advocates for the strategic integration of all the instruments of national power, calls for the development of an 'influence culture' in U.S. foreign policy, and provides a road map for the reform of the structure and culture of American diplomacy. While addressing contemporary U.S. foreign policy, this study presents lessons in statecraft and grand strategy that are applicable for all times and places. Full Spectrum Diplomacy and Grand Strategy thus raises issues that are relevant not only to , but to practitioners of intelligence, , , and economic statecraft.

In the long war of our time?against the Islamists' terror and their push for the world-wide imposition of shariah?we have so far failed to organize our government to win the crucial battle for mankind's minds and hearts. John Lenczowski gives us a brilliantly conceived and innovative strategy to win this war just as we won the . Look out, Muslim Brotherhood-here comes LibForAll. (R. James Woolsey, former Director of the CIA; Chairman, Woolsey Partners LLC)Dr. John Lenczowski brings the full force of a distinguished career in foreign policy and academia to the vitally important issues of American diplomacy in our troubled era. With the keen eye of both a practitioner and a grand strategist, he shows how our lack of appreciation for the influence culture that results from using a wide range of diplomatic tools has hindered American interests. But he goes beyond mere complaints to specific solutions?in areas ranging from public diplomacy to counterintelligence to cultural influence, Dr. Lenczowski shows how America and the world could benefit from an integrated strategy. This is must reading for foreign policy professionals and engaged patriots alike.
