The Art of War

"To win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the highest skill.
To subdue the enemy without fighting is the highest skill."
- Sun Tsu

I've read this book and most of it is common sense stuff but it has a lot of great information in it too. I found it interesting that this book is required reading for almost any technology and business major. All of the tech startups like bill gates and IBM execs etc all read this book and applied it's theory of battles to the economic markets and it's amazing how well it worked for them.

I don't know about the IMB thing... my dad's an exec., and I've never heard of that.

I 'do' know that Tsu knew what he was talking about. Maybe not the greatest philosopher, but a superb strategist.
