The Presidential Campaign Through the Wisdom of Sun Tzu

Sun Tzu, the Chinese military strategist from around (historians are uncertain) the 6th century BC, is famous for the (still studied at West Point) book The Art of War. There are 13 short chapters, each on a different aspect of warfare. The first chapter is "Laying Plans," and the last, "The Use of Spies." The Art of War is ostensibly about warfare, but it finds many applications in other aspects of life. It is a short book that you can read in an afternoon but study for a lifetime of critical decisions to be made.

One such decision is for the upcoming Presidential election. Let us see how following or not the advice of the master during the campaigns can lead to victory or defeat on November 5th.

Here are nine quotes that have ready application to the campaign for the Presidency of the United States (from the edition edited by James Clavell):
