The Art of War孙子兵法

I truly believe that if our military and political leaders in recent times had studied this work of genius, Vietnam could not have happened as it happened; we would not have lost the war in Korea (we lost because we did not achieve victory); the Bay of Pigs could not have occurred; the hostage fiasco in Iran would
not have come to pass; the British Empire would not have been dismembered; and, in all probability, World Wars I and II would have been avoided - certainly they would not have been waged as they were waged, and the millions of youths obliterated
unnecessarily and stupidly by monsters calling themselves generals would have lived out their lives according to their own Karma.

Book Description
One of the Most Important Treaties on War and Peace Ever Written

In the fifth century BC, Sun Tzu wrote:
"In peace prapare for war, in war prepare for peace. The art of war is of vital importance to the state. It is a matter of life and death. A road either to safety or ruin. Hence it is a subject of inquiry which can on no account be neglected..."

In the twentieth century:
"I truly believe that if our military and political leaders in recent times had studied this work of genius, Vietnan could not have happened as it happened; we would not have lost the war in Korea [we lost it because we did not achieve victory]; the Bay of Pigs could not have come to pass; the British Empire would not have been dismembered; and, in all probability, World Wars I and II would have been avoided..."
