Become a Better Martial Artist by Applying Lessons from the World's Greatest Military Strategists from Sun Tzu to Von Clausewitz

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Lessons in the Art of War compares the time-honoured theories of Sun Tzu with those of European military genius Carl von Clausewitz and other Eastern and Western military greats to give the reader a deeper understanding of martial culture, preparedness, and supremacy. The main difference between the writings of these military strategists is that Sun Tzu provided specific steps for every conceivable battlefield situation, while Clausewitz emphasized that various "frictions" such as uncertainty, ignorance, confusion, and fatigue often interfere with one's combat plan and prevent one from exercising full power and control over the enemy. However, their discourse displays far more similarities than differences, which further demonstrates that factors such as time period (Sun Tzu and Clausewitz were separated in time by more than two millennia), geographical location (Asia versus Europe), and cultural differences are less significant in combat than is the understanding of human nature. An analysis of the writings of historical military strategists including Sun Tzu and Carl von Clausewitz about warfare and instructions on applying these lessons to modern martial arts and combat.
