Volume 2: Sun Tzu's Art of War Playbook -- Perspective

Volume Two of our Art of War Playbook. The Playbook is the culmination of over a decade of work breaking down

Sun Tzu’s principles into a series of step-by-step processes by

the multiple award-winning author and internationally recognized

Art of War expert, Gary Gagliardi. This first part of the Playbook focuses on Sun Tzu's concepts for understanding and

evaluating strategic positions.

Unlike most of Gagliardi's other books on The Art of War, this

work does not follow the original work's structure, line by line

and verse by verse. Instead, it explains the concepts described

in a manner more familiar to modern readers. The original Art

of War was originally written more like a book on math, in

abstract formulations, for military generals who understood the

philosophical concepts of ancient China. Our Art of War Playbook is written for today’s reader with enough descriptive

material so that Sun Tzu's ideas can actually be used in

everyday competition. It puts Sun Tzu’s ideas into everyday,

practical language as a book of instruction.

These articles are written in standard format including 1) the

Sun Tzu verse, 2) the genera principle in more modern terms, 3)

the situation to which the rule is applied or which necessitates

the rule, 4) the opportunity created or exploited by the

concept, 5) the list of specific Art of War Methodsbreaking down

the general principle into a series of actionable steps, and 7)

an illustration of the application of each of those step to a

specific competitive arena, i.e. sales, politics, small

business, etc. Methods are written generically to apply to every

competitive arena with each specific illustrations drawn from

one of these areas.

A number identifies where each article appears in Playbook

Structure. For example, the article 2.1.3 Strategic Deception is

the third article in the first section of the second book in the

nine volumes of the Art of War Playbook. In our on-line version,

this links are live, clicking on them brings you to the article

itself. We provide them because the interconnection of concepts

is useful important in learning Sun Tzu’s system.

Because of its size and detail, the Playbook is published in

nine volumes. This is the second volume. The topics covered in

this volume are listed below:
