From ancient conflicts to workplace meetings

Strategies for war, as well as for the demanding social game of power, from the author of the best seller The 48 Laws of Power

Combining dozens of political, philosophical, and religious texts and studying thousands of years of violent clashes, the author creates a guide for the war of everyday life. Inspired by the most intelligent and effective military principles and structured in the characteristic style of Robert Greene, the book The 33 Strategies of War is the I Ching of conflicts and the modern companion to Sun Tzu’s The Art of War.
With rich examples from history—from Napoleon to Margaret Thatcher, from Shaka Zulu to Lord Nelson, from Hannibal to Ulysses S. Grant—as well as from the world of cinema, the samurai, and diplomacy, each of the thirty-three chapters presents a strategy that will help you win every battle.
Learn the offensive strategies required to maintain the initiative and negotiate from a position of strength, as well as the defensive strategies that will allow you to face dangerous situations and avoid wars you cannot win.

An essential book that offers all the psychological weapons to overcome patterns of failure and gain a lasting advantage.

The 33 Strategies of War picks up where The 48 Laws of Power left off. Greene expands the analysis of the fundamental rules governing the techniques of success, drawing examples from historical figures and shifting his focus to more specific ways of managing conflict, whether it is actual war or a professional meeting.
