"If you know both yourself and your enemy, you can come out of hundreds of battles without danger."

The title can be taken from one of the books I never fail to read over and over again.

13 Chapters... 13 amazingly cunning and brilliant chapters...

Laying Plans... Waging War... Attack by Stratagem... Tactical Dispositions... Energy... Weak Points & Strong... Maneuvering... Variation in Tactics... The Army on the March... Terrain... The Nine Situations... The Attack by Fire... The Use of Spies...

Niccolo Machiavelli. His name synonymous to ruthless politics, deceit, and the pursuit of power by any means.

Why am I writing about him and his book, "The Art of War"? Because he deserves recognition. Applause. Worship.

He is one person who influenced a lot of people I know to be ruthless, deceitful and overly zealous in the pursuit of power by any means.
