11 Tactics and Strategies

from SunTzu

Culled from the Art of War

Know your

enemy and know

yourself and in

100 battles you

will never be in

peril.

It is more important to

outthink your enemy

than to outfight him.

If the orders are not clear,

it is the fault of the

general that the orders are

not obeyed, but if the

orders are clear, it is the

fault of the subordinates

the orders are not obeyed.

Those skilled in war bring the enemy

to the field of battle, they are not

brought by him.

Make your enemy prepare

on his left and he will be

weak on his right.

All warfare is deception

Use an attack to

exploit a victory

and never use it to

rescue and attack.

In battle, use a direct

attack to engage and an

indirect attack to win.

When the enemy occupies high

ground, do not confront him if he

attacks.

No nation has benefited from prolonged war.

Sun Tzu is deadly against

rash behaviour and

spontaneous reaction.
