The art of war by Niccolo Machiavelli.
Thank ye kindly, ma'm
Welcome Capn' Arr :goof:
Machiavelli was a follower of Tsun Zu?...
I don't believe so. :confused:
I was referring to the title...and believed that Tsun Zu came first before Maciavelli
Ahh, yes, Tsun Zu (sp.) did come before Niccolo, but I think the two are unrelated.
Maybe he got inspired in a way? ;)
Nevermind
Ha, we have "The LOST Art of War" on our shelves...never opened it, as with many of our books, but this one is by... ah! Sun Tzu. :D (Different spelling, or different author?)
There have been many interpretations of his name (some even claiming that he was not a real person but a name underwhich the works were collected) I guess it be a bit like shakespeare, always some controversy! :D

.....I remain........confused.
(Statesman) Machiavelli....1469-1527 A.D.
(Manuscript)'The Art of War'...... pre-500 B.C.
well, even back-in-the-day people, erm, lacked originality???, not sure, but the books do take different aproaches.Quote:
