A classic of military strategy, The Art of War was compiled during the Warring States period (403-221 BCE) in ancient Chinese history. It’s still widely read today for its insights into war, its clever stratagems and tactics, and its lessons into human nature and behavior. Trump has boasted about winning the “next” war, as if war during his presidency is inevitable. Here Sun Tzu has much to teach our “warriors” in the White House. Embracing the stratagems of The Art of War, its emphasis on surprise, subterfuge, deception, and quick strikes, is not enough.
