Six Strategies for War

by Wang Xuanming, Alan Chong
Six Strategies for War
Six Strategies for War

Ancient strategies for modern success.

If you're fascinated by the intersection of history and practical wisdom, "Six Strategies for War" could be a great book for you. It offers a glimpse into ancient Chinese approaches to conflict and strategy, providing insights that many find relevant even in today's complex world. The thematic division of strategies into civil, military, and animal metaphors—dragon, tiger, leopard, hound—can help you frame and tackle various challenges in unique, time-tested ways. This isn't just about war; it's about strategy in life and work.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Discover the principles employed by Jiang Tai Gong, the brilliant military strategist who helped the king of the Western Zhou Dynasty overthrow the despotic Shang rule in ancient China. These principles were known 3,000 years ago and still remain relevant for today's rulers, administrators, and leaders. Six Strategies for War is one of the seven major Chinese military classics collectively known as Wu Jing Qi Shu (The Seven Books of War). Chinese classical military strategies are being widely reinterpreted and applied in the corporate world today, and a sound appreciation of these is de rigueur for many a sophisticated chief executive.
