33 Strategies for War

To pursue any idea, even peace and reconciliation, you must be determined to fight for it and focus your eyes on the results, and at the moment you focus on the results, you are in the strategic field. War and strategy have a strict logic: "If you desire or want anything, you must be prepared and able to fight for it." In this book, "Robert Greene" provides you with 33 strategies of war, so the work came as a condensation of timeless wisdom contained in the lessons and principles of war. The book was designed to equip you with practical knowledge that will give you countless options and advantages in dealing with hidden warriors who attack you in the battle of daily life. From this perspective, each chapter is an analogy of a strategy aimed at solving a specific problem you will often face. Problems include fighting with an army behind you without motivation... wasting energy fighting on many fronts at the same time... feeling the awe of friction... the contradiction between plans and reality... The importance of this book comes from the fact that the strategies included are derived from the writings and practices of great generals in history (Alexander the Great, Hannibal, Genghis Khan, Napoleon Bonaparte, Shakuraslo, William Tecumseh Sherman, Erwin Rommel, Fonguin Ghab, as well as other great strategists like Sun Tzu, and Colonel John Bird). The book is divided into five parts: Self-Managed War (how to prepare yourself mentally and spiritually for battle); Organizational War (how to build and motivate your army); Defensive War; Offensive War; and Unconventional (Dirty) War. Each chapter is accompanied by historical examples, not only from war but also from political practices (Margaret Thatcher), culture (Alfred Hitchcock), sports (Muhammad Ali), and business (J.P. Morgan), illustrating the close relationship between military and social aspects. These strategies can be applied in struggles of any scope: organized war, business battles, policies of a specific group, and even personal relationships. An important book, rich in its information, telling its reader that what you know should be translated into actions, and actions should be translated into knowledge. In this way, strategy becomes a lifelong challenge and a source of constant enjoyment in overcoming difficulties and solving problems.
