More DescriptionThe Art of War, for those who drank their way through Eastern Literature 101. is the oldest book of strategy known to man. It was written by Sun Tzu, the man most quoted by badly done Chinese character tattoos. He was arguably the greatest General and leader of men to have walked the earth. He wrote his book as a way to pass on his knowledge and to groom the next generation of Chinese Generals. However Sun Tzu's book is not just about warfare, it is also about philosophy and how to live your life. His lessons for planning an attack is equally applicable to the corporate boardroom or a Halo match as it is to the battlefield. However his words can be a bit obtuse or too general at times so this guide will help you along with explanations and examples. This guide is meant for the average reader who watches cartoons and doesn't read the Economist. Only famous companies or battles are mentioned, and usually only if there was a movie made about them. Additionally Starcraft and Call of Duty are used for modern examples of some of Sun Tzu's lessons.
