Overview
The 33 Strategies of War is Robert Greene's masterful guide to strategy, conflict and the psychology of winning. Drawing on thousands of years of military history, political manoeuvring and philosophical thought, this brand new UK paperback distils the tactics of history's greatest minds into thirty-three practical strategies. It is the natural companion to Sun Tzu's The Art of War and a must-have for fans of Greene's The 48 Laws of Power.

About the Book
Spanning world civilisations and synthesising dozens of political, philosophical and religious texts, The 33 Strategies of War has been described as the contemporary companion to Sun Tzu's The Art of War. Abundantly illustrated with real-world examples drawn from powerful figures including Napoleon, Margaret Thatcher, Shaka the Zulu and Hannibal, each of the thirty-three chapters lays out a distinct strategy to help readers win life's battles, whether on the battlefield, in the boardroom, or in everyday conflict. Greene divides his strategies into proactive approaches, which demand that you seize the initiative and negotiate from strength, and defensive approaches, which teach you to respond calmly to danger and avoid wars you cannot win. Throughout, Greene argues that the greatest strategists in history, across both battlefields and boardrooms, share common traits: prudence, agility, balance and calm under pressure, and the cool-headed understanding that the rational and resourceful will always outlast the panicked. Packed with historical anecdote and psychological insight, this is an indispensable handbook for anyone seeking to understand power, conflict and human nature, and to use that understanding to their advantage. It remains one of Robert Greene's most widely read and quoted works, as influential in business and politics as it is in military history.
