I picked up a paperback copy of this a couple of weeks ago and it is a fairly easy read except that it was translated by an Englishman in 1910 and so the English is a little difficult to decipher at times but still a great read! I wonder how many times W has read it?

Sun Tzu's Art of War is a great handbook for fighting a war, but if you try to apply away from the battlefield, towards the inner workings of government all you will end up with is a Macivellian tyranny.

What about applying it to business? I see SOME parallels, but obviously we can't apply everything.

Sounds like Zawahiri (???) But for sure it sounds like the MSM too--"Get news out on your terms and you may win world approval" (Especially if it's all lies!)

If you treat business like war, you will soon have real bloodshed between companies.

I picked up a copy of "Discourses Upon the First Ten Books of Titus Livy - text of the work by Niccolo Machiavelli" today The Discourses is a great book

When orders are consistently trustworthy and observed, the relationship of a commander with his troops is satisfactory. I can't find this saying, or a similar one, in the Giles/Clavell edition. Is it there? If so, which chapter? Thanks.
