Excerpt from Elements of the Art of War: Prepared for the Use of the Cadets of the United States Military Academy In preparing this work for the use of the Cadets, ft was not intended to write an exhaustive treatise upon the Art of War or any of its branches. The design was only to state concisely the first elements of the Art of War and show their relations to each other. An attempt has been made to arrange the matter in such order as to lead one first approaching the subject to so study campaigns and battles as to try to discover the causes which have secured victory to one and entailed defeat upon another; and to determine whether they arise from tactics logistics or strategy. If it accomplishes this object it will have completely fulfilled its mission. In the body of the work credit has been given to authors whose works have been somewhat closely followed in the particular subject under discussion. In addition to those so mentioned, most of the works whose names are given on the adjoining page have been freely consulted, and the ideas contained in them have been adopted, modified, combined with others, or rejected as seemed best. My thanks are due to Lieutenants Goethals, Hodges, and Hale, of the Corps of Engineers, by whom I have been ably assisted in the revision of this work. While using it as a text-book in the instruction of Cadets they have critically examined it, and in accordance with their suggestions I have corrected the typographical and other errors discovered, and have changed the wording of a number of sentences whose meaning seemed obscure.

Forget everything you think you know about strength, strategy and success. This brilliant adaptation of the ancient masterpiece The Art of War shows women how to use Sun Tzu’s philosophy to win in every aspect of life. Would you like to transform your weaknesses into strengths? Succeed at work without compromising your ethics? Integrate your style and personal philosophy into every action you take? If so, this book is for you. In The Art of War for Women, bestselling author Chin-Ning Chu brings the eternal wisdom of philosopher-general Sun Tzu to women looking to gain a better understanding of who they are--and, more importantly, who they want to be. Although Sun Tzu’s book is about the application of strategies and determining the most efficient way of gaining victory with the least amount of conflict, every one of those strategies begins with having a deep understanding of the people and the world around us. They also require us to understand ourselves--our strengths and weaknesses, our goals and fears. In other words, the aim is not to apply a series of rules coldly and dispassionately, but rather to integrate ourselves and our unique talents into the strategies we will employ. This is not a feel-good book. (But you will feel good after reading it.) It is not a motivational book. (But you will be motivated to achieve what you want, once you are done.) Ultimately, its purpose it to provide women with the strategies we all need to overcome the obstacles that stand in the way of our goals and dreams. Sun Tzu’s Art of War is the most influential book on strategy ever published, selling tens of millions of copies worldwide in several editions. Written by one of today’s foremost authorities on Sun Tzu, The Art of War for Women is sure to become a classic in its own right.

Throughout history, from Kublai Khan's attempted invasions of Japan to Rommel's desert warfare, military operations have succeeded or failed on the ability of commanders to incorporate environmental conditions into their tactics. In Battling the Elements, geographer Harold A. Winters and former U.S. Army officers Gerald E. Galloway Jr., William J. Reynolds, and David W. Rhyne, examine the connections between major battles in world history and their geographic components, revealing what role factors such as weather, climate, terrain, soil, and vegetation have played in combat. Each chapter offers a detailed and engaging explanation of a specific environmental factor and then looks at several battles that highlight its effects on military operations. As this cogent analysis of geography and war makes clear, those who know more about the shape, nature, and variability of battleground conditions will always have a better understanding of the nature of combat and at least one significant advantage over a less knowledgeable enemy.
