Imagine if Robert E. Lee had withdrawn to higher ground at
Gettysburg instead of sending Pickett uphill against the entrenched
Union line. Or if Napoleon, at Waterloo, had avoided mistakes he d
never made before. The advice that would have changed these crucial
battles was written down centuries before Christ was born but
unfortunately for Lee, Napoleon, and Hitler, Sun Tzu s The Art of
War only became widely available in the West in the mid-twentieth
century. As Bevin Alexander shows, Sun Tzu s maxims often boil down
to common sense, in a particularly pure and clear form. When
Alexander frames these modern battles against 2,400-year-old
precepts, the degree of overlap is stunning. "
