“A clever fighter is one who not only wins, but excels in winning
with ease.” So wrote Sun Tzu 2,500 years ago, and kings,
soldiers, and statesmen have been turning to the Chinese master for
his astute observations ever since.
Sun Tzu’s incisive blueprint for battlefield strategy is as relevant
to today’s combatants in business, politics, and everyday life as it
once was to the warlords of ancient China. The Art of War is
one of the most useful books ever written on leading with wisdom, an
essential tool for modern corporate warriors battling to gain the
advantage in the boardroom and for anyone struggling to gain the
upper hand in confrontations and competitions.
