2 What to expect
A long handbook that turns military history into advice for conflicts in everyday life, by the author of The 48 Laws of Power. Each of its thirty-three chapters sets out one strategy, offensive or defensive, illustrates it with examples from many periods and people, and applies it to disputes at work and at home. It is dense with stories, cool and calculating in tone, and easy to read a chapter at a time.
Good for readers who want: psychology, business, and a long read.
