Brilliant distillations of the strategies of war-and the subtle
social game of everyday life-by the bestselling author of The 48
Laws of Power and The Laws of Human Nature Robert Greene's
groundbreaking guides, The 48 Laws of Power, The Art of Seduction,
and Mastery, espouse profound, timeless lessons from the events of
history to help readers vanquish an enemy, ensnare an unsuspecting
victim, or become the greatest in your field. In The 33 Strategies
of War, Greene has crafted an important addition to this ruthless
and unique series. Spanning world civilizations, synthesizing
dozens of political, philosophical, and religious texts and
thousands of years of violent conflict, The 33 Strategies of War is
the I-Ching of conflict, the contemporary companion to Sun Tzu's
The Art of War. Abundantly illustrated with examples from history,
including the folly and genius of everyone from Napoleon to
Margaret Thatcher, Shaka the Zulu to Lord Nelson, Hannibal to
Ulysses S. Grant, as well as movie moguls, Samurai swordsmen, and
diplomats, each of the thirty-three chapters outlines a strategy
that will help you win life's wars. Learn the offensive strategies
that require you to maintain the initiative and negotiate from a
position of strength, or the defensive strategies designed to help
you respond to dangerous situations and avoid unwinnable wars. The
great warriors of battlefields and drawing rooms alike demonstrate
prudence, agility, balance, and calm, and a keen understanding that
the rational, resourceful, and intuitive always defeat the
panicked, the uncreative, and the stupid. An indispensable book,
The 33 Strategies of War provides all the psychological ammunition
you need to overcome patterns of failure and forever gain the upper
hand.
