Book Sun Tzu at Gettysburg  Ancient Military Wisdom in the Modern World

Download or read book Sun Tzu at Gettysburg Ancient Military Wisdom in the Modern World written by Bevin Alexander and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2011-05-31 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The world’s most fascinating battles and how they were won or lost, according to the Chinese sage.”—Kirkus Reviews Imagine if Robert E. Lee had withdrawn to higher ground at Gettysburg instead of sending Pickett uphill against the entrenched Union line. Or if Napoléon, at Waterloo, had avoided mistakes he’d never made before. The advice that would have changed these crucial battles was written down centuries before Christ was born—but unfortunately for Lee, Napoléon, and Hitler, Sun Tzu’s The Art of War only became widely available in the West in the mid-twentieth century. As Bevin Alexander shows, Sun Tzu’s maxims often boil down to common sense, in a particularly pure and clear form. When Alexander frames these modern battles against 2,400-year-old precepts, the degree of overlap is stunning.

Book excerpt: Read the original Sun Tzu The Art of War and you'll see, feel and taste a striking difference: it is quite unlike the entertaining facsimiles that appear across the publishing universe today.The original was carefully planned and designed to be accurate, brief and concise: short, punchy bullets, all well categorized and numbered for easy retrieval and reference. There were no lengthy explanations about each bullet, no editorials by armchair, paper-qualified warriors. Our 60-page edition of The Art of War was compiled and edited in the high spirit of those brilliant minds who wrote The Art of War, and was designed to be a highly readable and accessible field manual for all warriors--battlefield, boardroom, bedroom--rather than a detailed historical perspective or critique for academics and history enthusiasts.This contemporary edition of Sun Tzu's masterpiece is just as, if not more, relevant today as it was 2,500 years ago. In the current geopolitical environment, our military and civilian leaders should be taking Sun Tzu's wisdom to heart, and implementing tactics and strategies that will ensure we do not engage in any further wars, battles or skirmishes.

Download or read book THE ART OF WAR written by Sun Tzu and published by Tim Tian. This book was released on 2024-04-05 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In other editions, the elements for victory, the 'weather' and 'terrain', were always mistranslated into 'heaven' and 'earth'. It is with great humility and reverence for this ancient masterpiece that I present my translation, an endeavor born out of a profound respect for the past and a commitment to preserving its truths for future generations. I am Tim Tian. As a research scientist specializing in microbiology at the Illinois Institute of Technology, my journey from the microscopic intricacies of life to the strategic expanse of ancient military philosophy may seem unconventional. Yet, it is this path, from the shores of China to the academic halls of the United States, that has imbued me with a deep appreciation for the meticulous detail and nuanced understanding required to bridge worlds — whether they be scientific disciplines or the vast divide between ancient and modern times. My love for ancient Chinese literature, nurtured in the rich cultural heritage of my homeland, has been a beacon guiding me through the challenges of translation. "The Art of War" is not merely a manual of military strategy but a treatise on the art of navigating life's conflicts with wisdom, strategy, and foresight. My translation endeavors to honor Sun Tzu's original text, meticulously preserving its essence while ensuring that its timeless strategies are accessible and relevant to a contemporary audience. The task of translation, especially of a work as nuanced and profound as "The Art of War," is fraught with the peril of interpretation. Each word in Sun Tzu's ancient Chinese carries layers of meaning, shaped by the context of its time. My approach has been one of faithful accuracy, striving to capture not only the literal meaning of the text but also its spirit. This dedication to fidelity is what distinguishes this edition, offering readers a window into the world of ancient Chinese warfare and philosophy as Sun Tzu intended it to be seen. In this translation, I have sought to bridge the gap between past and present, bringing to life Sun Tzu's strategies for a new generation. It is my hope that readers will find within these pages not only guidance for battles but principles for life, illuminated by a translation that respects the depth and wisdom of the original text. As we navigate the complexities of our modern world, the ancient strategies of "The Art of War" remain surprisingly relevant, offering insights into overcoming obstacles, achieving goals, and understanding the dynamics of conflict and resolution. May this translation serve as a compass for those seeking direction in times of turmoil, a reminder of the enduring power of strategic thought across the ages.

Book The Emergence of American Amphibious Warfare  1898   1945

Download or read book The Emergence of American Amphibious Warfare 1898 1945 written by David Nasca and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2020-05-15 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Emergence of American Amphibious Warfare, 1898–1945 examines how the United States became a military superpower through the use of amphibious operations. While other major world powers pursued and embraced different weapons and technologies to create different means of waging war, the United States was one of the few countries that spent decades training, developing, and employing amphibious warfare to pursue its national interests.Commonly seen as dangerous and costly, amphibious warfare was carefully modernized, refined, and promoted within American political and military circles for years by a small motley group of military mavericks, intellectuals, innovators, and crackpots. This generational cast of underdogs and unlikely heroes were able to do the impossible by predicting and convincing America’s leadership how the United States should fight World War II.David Nasca reveals that despite the new ways that states have to project military power today as seen with airpower, nuclear weapons, cyber warfare, and special operators, amphibious warfare has proven to be the most important element in transforming the theater of battle. In understanding how amphibious warfare allowed the United States to achieve geopolitical supremacy, competitor states are now looking at America’s amphibious past for clues in how to challenge the United States’ global leadership and expand its power and influence in the world.

Book Alexander Hamilton s Revolution

Download or read book Alexander Hamilton s Revolution written by Phillip Thomas Tucker and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-08-22 with total page 547 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite his less-than-promising beginnings as the only key Founding Father not born and raised on American soil, Hamilton was one of the best and brightest of his generation. His notoriety has rested almost entirely on his role as Secretary of the Treasury in Washington's administration, yet few realize that Washington and Hamilton's bond was forged during the Revolutionary War. Alexander Hamilton's Revolution is the first book to explore Hamilton's critical role during the battle for independence. New information presents a little-known and underpublished aspect of Hamilton's life: that he was not only Washington's favorite staff officer, but also his right-hand man for most of the Revolution, serving as Chief of Staff from 1777 to early 1781. While he found this position rewarding, Hamilton continually asked Washington for a field command. Hamilton's wish was granted at the decisive battle of Yorktown, where his Infantry Battalion charged on the defensive bastion on Cornwallis's left flank. Hamilton's capture of this position, while French forced captured the adjacent position, sealed Cornwallis's fate and forced his surrender and ultimate colonial victory. The entire patriotic cause benefited immeasurably from the advice and strategies provided to Washington by his youngest staff officer, Alexander Hamilton. Now, those critical contributions are brought to light in Hamilton's Revolution.

Download or read book Such Troops as These written by Bevin Alexander and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acclaimed military historian Bevin Alexander offers a provocative analysis of Stonewall Jackson’s military genius and reveals how the Civil War might have ended differently if Jackson’s strategies had been adopted. The Civil War pitted the industrial North against the agricultural South, and remains one of the most catastrophic conflicts in American history. With triple the population and eleven times the industry, the Union had a decided advantage over the Confederacy. But one general had a vision that could win the War for the South—Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson. Jackson believed invading the eastern states from Baltimore to Maine could divide and cripple the Union, forcing surrender, but failed to convince Confederate president Jefferson Davis or General Robert E. Lee. In Such Troops as These, Bevin Alexander presents a compelling case for Jackson as the greatest general in American history. Fiercely dedicated to the cause of Southern independence, Jackson would not live to see the end of the War. But his military legacy lives on and finds fitting tribute in this book.

As significant today as it was 2500 years ago, the Art of War teaches us to look beyond the conflicts and battles of life and see the true goals and opportunities.

More than just a lesson in warfare, this book is a foundation for skillful leadership and powerful living. “The art of war teaches us to rely not on the likelihood of the enemy's not coming, but on our own readiness to receive him; not on the chance of his not attacking, but rather on the fact that we have made our position unassailable.” Sun Tzu c. 500 BC

Book Limiting Risk in America s Wars

Download or read book Limiting Risk in America s Wars written by Phillip S Meilinger and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2017-11-15 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States has the most expensive and seemingly unstoppable military in the world. Yet, since World War II the nation’s military success rate has been meager. The Korean War was a draw, while Vietnam, Mogadishu, Afghanistan, and Iraq were clear losses. Successes include Iraq in 1991, the Balkans (Croatia and Kosovo), Panama, the initial takedowns of Afghanistan in 2001 and Iraq in 2003, and Libya. What differentiates the failures from the successes? Failures have been marked by the introduction of large numbers of conventional American ground troops, while successes have been characterized by the use of airpower, special operations forces, robust intelligence and sensor platforms, and the use of indigenous ground troops. Phillip S. Meilinger’s new book advocates strategies that limit risks in war as well as achieve measurable goals. Instead of large numbers of conventional ground troops, the author argues in favor of a focus on asymmetric capabilities—a combination of airpower, special operation forces, intelligence, and indigenous ground troops—to achieve the desired political outcomes.
