The Art of War
By Donald Stuteville
Written in 500 B.C.E. by a man named Sun Tzu or Sunzi, the Art of War is the oldest and most successful strategic guide in the world. It has 13 chapters about how to win a battle in an effective and comprehensible way. It has been translated into multiple languages and has traveled the globe from where it started in China to Japan, all of Europe, the United States, and even Vietnam. All who the people who used the guide won the battle they used it for. The Art of War is said to be the base of all books dealing with legal law because lawyers need to know how to win cases using strategy and technique. Used by sports coaches to win games and championships.
To be a pioneer or go down in history as being a great leader and warrior is an astonishing accomplishment but to add that you used a strategic guide to lead
you into becoming that great leader in what ever battle you have chosen to use the Art of War for just makes you seem like you just used the resources provided to you well. Just imagine having your name on a list along with people such as General Vo Nguyen Giap, Mao Zedong, Napoleon Bonaparte, and even General Colin Powell. Leaders from all over the world where not one is from the same place and yet all have found a common interest that helped guide them to success. If you are not into reading then you can watch the detailed 13 episode series done in 1996 or the History Channel special done in 2009. Both provide a visual use of the book and how it is/can be applied to a situation of any kind. To think that when you look at this book and history, the two things coincide and both are important regardless of what time period they are being used in. So do not read or watch The Art of War for anyone but yourself because the guide is something you do not want to be using if you are only doing it because someone told you to.
