Editorial ReviewStrategies for winning the subtle social game of everyday life--from the bestselling author of The 48 Laws of Power and The Art of Seduction
Robert Greene's first two groundbreaking guides, The 48 Laws of Power and The Art of Seduction, espouse profound, timeless lessons from events in history to help readers vanquish an enemy or ensnare an unsuspecting victim. Now, with The 33 Strategies of War, Greene has crafted an important new addition to this ruthlessly unique series.

It is the I Ching of conflict, the contemporary companion to Sun-tzu's Art of War.
