Sun Tzu at Gettysburg: Ancient Military Wisdom in the Modern World Alexander Bevin
Imagine if Robert E. Or if Napoleon, at Waterloo, had avoided mistakes he d never made before. Lee had withdrawn to higher ground at Gettysburg instead of sending Pickett uphill against the entrenched Union line.
As Bevin Alexander shows, Sun Tzu s maxims often boil down to common sense, in a particularly pure and clear form. The advice that would have changed these crucial battles was written down centuries before Christ was born but unfortunately for Lee, Napoleon, and Hitler, Sun Tzu s The Art of War only became widely available in the West in the mid-twentieth century. When Alexander frames these modern battles against 2,400-year-old precepts, the degree of overlap is stunning.
