41. Sun Tzu's Art Of War Sun Tzu Art of War poem by Ross Nepia Himona. http://maorinews.com/writings/poems/artofwar.htm

Sun Tzu's Art of War Speak to me Master Sun, of the art of war. Listen then my son, and know you well, I that in war, the Way is to avoid what is strong, and to strike what is weak. II Know also, that all warfare is based on deception. Hence, When able to attack, we must seem unable; When using our forces, we must seem inactive; When we are near, the enemy must believe we are far away; When far away, we must make him believe we are near. Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, disunity, and crush him. If he is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, avoid and evade him. If your opponent is of choleric temper, irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. Attack where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected.

Sun Tzu Art of War in Information Warfare KNOWLEDGE STRATEGIES: BALANCING ENDS, WAYS, AND MEANS IN THE INFORMATION AGE by Lieutenant Colonel William R. Fast United States Army ABSTRACT: Introduction As we enter a new technological age, devising the proper national security strategy can have a profound effect on the outcome of war. There is no better example than the French approach after World War I. During the interwar period from 1919 to 1939, France formulated a weak and vulnerable strategy of forward defense, driven by her obsession with the methodical battle technique perfected at the end of World War I. On 10 May 1940, the world watched with horror as Germany, with far fewer resources, successfully invaded the Low Countries and Northern France. Germany had made the right strategic choices; her blitzkrieg concept of warfighting took full advantage of the mechanization of warfare. (Note 1) While France was mired in an older strategy, Germany was energized by emerging technology to develop a bold offensive strategy. Today, man's ways of making war are changing again because of new information age technologies. What can we do today to avoid repeating the French debacle? In War and Anti-War, Alvin and Heidi Toffler argue that we need to formulate a capstone concept of knowledge strategy to effectively take advantage of these information age technologies.

46. Sun Tzu - El Arte De La Guerra - Introducción Sun Tzu fuéun general chino que vivió alrededor del siglo V antes de Cristo. http://www.gorinkai.com/textos/suntzu1.htm

"En esencia, el Arte de la Guerra es el Arte de la Vida" Sun Tzu fué un general chino que vivió alrededor del siglo V antes de Cristo. La colección de ensayos sobre el arte de la guerra atribuida a Sun Tzu es el tratado sobre dicho tema más antiguo que se conoce. A pesar de su antiguedad, esta obra domina sobre cualquier otra sobre el tema. La obra de Sun Tzu llegó por primera vez a Europa en el periodo anterior a la Revolución Francesa, en forma de una breve traducción realizada por el sacerdote jesuita J. J. M. Amiot. En las diversas traducciones que se han hecho desde entonces, se nombra ocasionalmente al autor como Sun Wu o Sun Tzi. El núcleo de la filosofía de Sun Tzu sobre la guerra descansa en estos dos principios: Todo el Arte de la Guerra se basa en el engaño. El supremo Arte de la Guerra es someter al enemigo sin luchar. Las ideas de Sun Tzu se extendieron por el resto de Asia hasta llegar a Japón. Los japoneses adoptaron rápidamente estas enseñanzas y, posiblemente, añadieron algunas de su propia cosecha. Hay constancia de que el principal libro japonés sobre el tema, "El libro de los Cinco Anillos", está influido por la filosofía de Sun Tzu, ya que su autor, Miyamoto Mushashi, estudió el tratado de "El Arte de la Guerra" durante su formación como Samurai. Habitualmente se hace referencia a las culturas orientales como culturas de estrategia y no es pequeña la influencia de Sun Tzu en este desarrollo cultural. Hoy en día, la filosofía del

International Subscribe to AdvancingWomen Network - A free Ezine from AdvancingWomen.com Sun Tzu: The Art of Defeating Your Workplace Adversaries When the tone is accusatory, critical, personal, sarcastic or bitter, you know you are engulfed in an adversarial struggle,whether you want it or not. More than likely, in addition to a disagreement on issues, you have somehow, perhaps inadvertently, stepped into a land mine of ego, hyper-sensitivity, previously unearthed blunders or organizational power struggle, in which you are marked for organizational demise. Don't roll over. Fight back. Sun Tzu, of course, was the military genius who formulated timeless strategies for defeating one's enemies. Although those adversaries, who arise from time to time to confront you in the workplace, may not rise to the level of enemies, nonetheless they thwart your progress, can derail your programs, and are capable of slowing or even incinerating your career. Just like the adversaries of old, they must be defeated, vanquished, or "put in a box", a kind of "no fly zone", where they can do no further damage to your career.

57. Global Beat: Heeding Sun Or Mao? Assessing China's Military Thinking Discussion about Sun Tzu and Mao Zedong, assessing China's military thinking. http://www.nyu.edu/globalbeat/pubs/ib30.html

Global Reporting Network Publications Heeding Sun or Mao? Assessing China's Military Thinking Global Beat Issue Brief No. 30 March 13, 1998 By Richard Halloran Ancient China's famed strategist, Sun Tzu cautioned leaders of his day to take pains to avoid miscalculating the capabilities or intentions of potential adversaries lest disaster strike: "If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle." In contrast, modern China's revolutionary leader, Mao Zedong, brushed aside that warning: "All reactionaries are paper tigers. In appearance, the reactionaries are terrifying, but in reality they are not so powerful." Today, American defense officials are debating whether their Chinese counterparts will, in effect, heed Sun or Mao. Underlying the deliberations is a fear that the Chinese might miscalculate in thinking they could prevail over the armed forces of the United States in a regional conflict in Asia. Leading one school is Admiral Joseph W. Prueher, who commands U.S. forces in the Pacific; he says Chinese military leaders are "smart, pragmatic" officers who understand that the Peoples Liberation Army does not compare with U.S. forces "in any way." Influential Pentagon analysts, however, assert that Chinese leaders hold "dangerous misperceptions that may well cause serious political friction or even military conflict with the United States." For now, the argument appears tilted toward Admiral Prueher's point of view. The Chinese have not beaten the war drums for more than a year. Little at the recent National People's Congress suggested that China's leaders were eager to confront the U.S. even though sizable American naval forces have been shifted from the Pacific to the Arabian Sea in the dispute with Iraq.

59. Generals Of Waterloo: Sun Tzu's Ping Fa Samuel Griffith version of Sun Tzu Art of War. http://www.kw.igs.net/~tacit/artofwar/suntzu.htm#The Art of War

Ping Fa (The Art of War) by Sun Tzu B.H. Liddell Hart's Forward to my copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War. Sun Tzu's Biography Amazon Book link Sun Tzu's 'The Art of War' B.H. Liddell Hart's Forward [ Top I have a copy of Sun Tzu's The Art of War (1963) that has a forward by B.H. Liddell Hart. I have taken a few paragraphs from this and the closing line and present them here: Sun Tzu's essays on `The Art of War' form the earliest of known treatises on the subject, but have never been surpassed in comprehensiveness and depth of understanding. They might well be termed the concentrated essence of wisdom on the conduct of war. Among all the military thinkers of the past, only Clausewitz is comparable, and even he is more `dated' than Sun Tzu, and in part antiquated, although he was writing more than two thousand years later. Sun Tzu has clearer vision, more profound insight, and eternal freshness. The ill-effects of Clausewitz's teaching arose largely from his disciples' too shallow and too extreme interpretation of it overlooking his qualifying clauses, but he lent himself to such misinterpretation by expounding his theory in a way too abstract and involved for concrete minded soldiers to follow the course of his arguement, which often turned back from the direction which it seemed to be taking. Impressed but bemused, they clutched at his vivid leading phrases and missed the underlying trend of his thought - which dod not differ so much from Sun tzu's conclusions as it appeared to do on the surface.

60. Sun Tzu: The Art Of War Sun Tzu Art of War and Clausewitz discussion by Randall Whitaker. http://www.informatik.umu.se/~rwhit/SunTzu.html

Sun Tzu: The Acme of Skill and Means Other than War Randall Whitaker November 1995 NOTE: All literature citations refer to materials listed in the Information Warfare Bibliography at this site Sun Tzu's The Art of War (1963) has become a canonical reference point in IW literature. It is a (probably fragmentary) compendium of military theory largely unknown in the West until the 20th century. A number of Internet sites offer the lowly-regarded Giles 1910 translation of this work, and the most recent translation by Thomas Cleary can also be accessed online. All references in this document, however, are to the Griffith 1963 translation, which is the currently 'canonical' reference. There is considerable debate over who 'Sun Tzu' may have been, or even if there were in fact one individual whose wisdom is represented in The Art of War . In any case, it is generally agreed that the work derives from the period known as that of the 'Warring States', running from ca. 453 to ca. 300 B.C. (cf. Griffith, 1963, pp. 20-29). This era of constant war toward a stable consolidation of China's factious kingdoms constituted: '...one of the most chaotic periods in China's long history. The forested hills, the reed-bordered lakes, the many swamps and marshes provided hiding places for the bands of robbers and cut-throats who raided villages, kidnapped travellers, and exacted toll from merchants unlucky enough to fall into their hands. Many of these outlaws were peasants who had been forced into brigandage to survive. Others were escaped criminals, deserters from the army, and disgraced officials. Altogether they constituted a formidable challenge to the so-called forces of law and order.' (
