Features: With culture, there are strategies; with strategies, there are distinctions between "covert plots" and "overt strategies." Though East and West represent different cultures and different overt strategies for success, ultimately, they are all strategies adopted by rulers to maintain their own ruling positions. Throughout history, "overt strategies" have remained popular: the power balance exercises of ancient Greece; Caesar and Octavian of ancient Rome seizing the opportunity for autocracy by carefully assessing the situation; saving human souls through religion; achieving mutual benefits through reform and compromise; peasants responding to the oppression of nobles with blood and fire; ideas of equality and justice that illuminate the world; power balance and co-governance on different levels; occupying the high ground of spiritual power to defend secular interests; giving equal importance to agriculture and industry as the main principle and overseas expansion as the supplementary thread; breaking the mold and new forces emerging to form a magnificent picture of "overt strategies" in the ancient world. This book elaborates in detail on the "overt strategies" of the ancient world and provides an in-depth analysis of how great political leaders and thinkers of the ancient world used "overt strategies" to achieve their grand ambitions. It is believed that this book will greatly benefit your work and life.
