very good ebook

The Thirty-Six Strategies: A Collection Of 36 Chinese Proverbs One-click transaction. Couldn't ask for a more wonderful buying experience. Thank you very much!

Excellent and detailed

Very well written treatise of the 36 strategies. The strategies are usually ruthless, almost always involving deception, using quite inventive ways to trick the opponent. Most notable for the complete lack of ethics and win-at-all costs approach, and often for the subtleness of the strategies. Excellent.

Dr. Paul Chan

An interesting and easy to read book that explains the classic 36 strategies of ancient China, and uses extensive examples to illustrate the practical implementation of these strategies. If you are strategist and a "The Art of War" fan, then I highly recommend this book.
