They are able to act in precise accord with situations, riding on their natural patterns with a minimum of effort. #4 The Art of War is a Taoist text that emphasizes the strategy of operating outside the sphere of emotional influence. It is the unemotional, reserved, and calm warrior who wins, not the hothead seeking vengeance and not the ambitious seeker of fortune.

Mastering the Art of War by Liang Zhuge,Ji Liu Pdf

Composed by two prominent statesmen-generals of classical China, this book develops the strategies of Sun Tzu's classic, The Art of War , into a complete handbook of organization and leadership.

The book also examines the social and psychological aspects of organization and crisis management. The translator's introduction surveys the Chinese philosophies of war and conflict and explores in depth the parallels between The Art of War and the oldest handbook of strategic living, the I Ching (Book of Changes).

SUMMARY - The Art of War by Sun Tzu by Shortcut Edition Pdf

* Our summary is short, simple and pragmatic. It allows you to have the essential ideas of a big book in less than 30 minutes. *By reading this summary, you will discover why Sun Tzu revolutionized Chinese military strategy in the 6th century BC. Throughout these Thirteen Chapters, he gives the general valuable advice on how to lead his army, use the terrain and anticipate the movements of his opponent. *You will also discover : that the key word of Sun Tzu's doctrine is deception or the art of deceiving the adversary in order to better annihilate him; that for Sun Tzu, war is too destructive to be entrusted to just anyone; that if the sovereign guides the country towards confrontation, it is up to the general and to him alone to lead his troops. *Sun Tzu wrote only one work of strategy, and yet it remains a reference studied in many military schools throughout the world. The advice given by this war expert is the antithesis of certain strategies implemented by European nations, for example, during the First World War. The Art of War advocates deception, avoidance of confrontation and cunning, advice followed by the fighters of the Vietminh and Viet Cong and which gave Western armies a hard time! *Buy now the summary of this book for the modest price of a cup of coffee!
