Features: "The strategy of military governance lies in valuing wisdom." War is not merely a contest of strength but also a battle of intellect. Although historical strategies have not all been realized, among all successful major events, it is rare to find examples where no preparatory strategic plans were in place beforehand. Some strategic concepts are detached from reality, even going against the course of history. Such strategic concepts, no matter how grand or far-reaching, are inevitably doomed to failure. Because all strategic concepts must serve the needs of human development. Only under conditions that align with the "timing of heaven" can one pursue the "advantage of terrain" and the "harmony of people." Only through the test of history can a strategic concept prove whether it is brilliant or great. A perfect war stems from a great idea, while a war of evil may arise from a bizarre notion in a dark mind. This book selects 68 wars in human history, delving into the minds and hearts of those military strategists or warmongers to see how wars were conceived, planned, and gradually brought to fruition.
