1. "The Art Of War" - Sun Tsu.

3. I'll check it out, thanks! nt

[HopeHoops]

4. It is the definitive guide.

[boston bean]

6. it will open my mind? give me new food for thought?

9. If you view it for what it is. Sun Tsu was ruthless.

One of the most famous stories involves his proving himself to the emperor. He claimed that he could turn the emperor's concubines into soldiers. His favorite concubine laughed at the notion and Sun Tsu ordered her to be executed. The emperor objected, but Sun Tsu pointed out to him that if he was to be consistent with his ways, then he must show no favoritism. Her head was removed on the spot. The other concubines became soldiers worthy of any army ranks within short order.

Thus began the military order of Sun Tsu.

7. Buy something that is not available to buy used and not available to borrow,

perhaps because it is too new or too obscure.
