Features: True war is not fought on the battlefield but in the minds of decision-makers. Only by defeating opponents in a battle of wits can one dominate the competition. Therefore, Sun Tzu said, "War is the way of deception." The French author Jean-Fran?ois Fourastié offers a novel perspective and unique understanding of The Art of War and The 36 Stratagems. He comments on and validates these two works through the lens of his experience and insights as a senior Western business decision-maker, observing how the ancient Chinese cultural heritage is proven in modern practice and how it converges with Western culture in exchange. This is an experienced perspective from a Westerner who is familiar with the business world, providing a meaningful reference.
