Introduction |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| This 2,500 year-old book proves
that while the weaponry has changed over time, the rules
for successful warfare strategies have not. It is a surprisingly
compact distillation
of strategic principles that is still as useful today as
it was when Sun Zi [Sun Tzu] first wrote it. Its principles
were applied by the combatants
of the "Three Kingdoms" period, Mao Tse-Tung, and the corporate warriors in the sales and marketing
departments of today. |
