'Sun Tzu better watch his back' New York Magazine 'An Art of War-style book of tough guy maxims to live by' Evening Standard 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, from powerful world leaders like Napoleon and Margaret Thatcher, to Shaka the Zulu and Hannibal, each of the thirty-three chapters outlines a strategy to help you win life's wars. Learn proactive methods that require you to maintain initiative and negotiate from positions of strength, or defensive strategies that allow you to respond to dangerous situations and avoid unwinnable wars. Great warriors of battlefields and boardrooms alike demonstrate prudence, agility, balance and calm, and a keen understanding that the rational and resourceful always defeat the panicked. An indispensable book, The 33 Strategies of War provides you with all the advice you need to gain and maintain the upper hand.

Media Reviews

Translatable to virtually every facet of daily life ... a rich mine of ideas and information ... readable and stimulating. * Scotland on Sunday *
Entertaining ... mostly due to the Rambo-inspired mentality that oozes from every khaki-ed, muscle-bound phrase. * Daily Telegraph *
Very good ... an enormous number of directed anecdotes from warfare, politics and the arts. * Independent on Sunday *
