Features: "To conquer others, use strategy, not force; in battle, use wisdom, not numbers" (Song Dynasty·Ouyang Xiu). War is not the action of living forces against dead matter, but a conflict between two living forces, a special form of vitality confrontation. Compared to any other social phenomenon, war is more elusive and less certain. Therefore, waging war is not only a contest of strength but also a contest of wisdom. It can be said that war is a platform where wisdom creates miracles. Moreover, the more advanced military technology and equipment become, the more prominent the role and value of wisdom in war become. How does "wisdom" create miracles on the stage of war? This book provides a detailed and vivid description of wisdom in different aspects, such as the wisdom of commanding generals, the wisdom of employing troops, and the wisdom of managing armies.
