The 33 Strategies
of War
By Robert Greene, Joost Elffers
Pub. Date: January 2006
Robert Greene's groundbreaking guides, The 48
Laws of Power and TheArt of Seduction,
espouse profound, timeless lessons from the events
of history to help readers vanquish an enemy or ensnare
an unsuspecting victim. Now, with The 33 Strategies
of War, Greene has crafted an important new
addition to this ruthless and unique series.
Spanning world civilizations, synthesizing dozens
of political, philosophical, and religious texts and
thousands of years of violent conflict, The 33
Strategies of War is a comprehensive guide to
the subtle social game of everyday life informed by
the most ingenious and effective military principles
in war. Structured in Greene's trademark style, The
33 Strategies of War is the I-Ching of conflict,
the contemporary companion to Sun Tzu's The Art
of War. Abundantly illustrated with examples from
history, including the folly and genius of everyone
from Napoleon to Margaret Thatcher, Shaka the Zulu
to Lord Nelson, Hannibal to Ulysses S. Grant, as well
as movie moguls, Samurai swordsmen, and diplomats,
each of the thirty-three chapters outlines a strategy
that will help you win life's wars. Learn the offensive
strategies that require you to maintain the initiative
and negotiate from a position of strength, or the defensive
strategies designed to help you respond to dangerous
situations and avoid unwinnable wars. The great warriors
of battlefields and drawing rooms alike demonstrate
prudence, agility, balance, and calm, and a keen understanding
that the rational, resourceful, and intuitive always
defeat the panicked, the uncreative, and the stupid.
An indispensable book, The 33 Strategies of War provides
all the psychological ammunition you need to overcome
patterns of failure and forever gain the upper hand.

The 48 Laws of Power
By Robert Greene, Joost Elffers,
Joost Elffers
Pub. Date: September 2000
Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this piercing
work distills three thousand years of the history of
power in to forty-eight well explicated laws. As attention—grabbing
in its design as it is in its content, this bold volume
outlines the laws of power in their unvarnished essence,
synthesizing the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun-tzu,
Carl von Clausewitz, and other great thinkers. Some
laws teach the need for prudence ("Law 1: Never
Outshine the Master"), the virtue of stealth ("Law
3: Conceal Your Intentions"), and many demand
the total absence of mercy ("Law 15: Crush Your
Enemy Totally"), but like it or not, all have
applications in real life. Illustrated through the
tactics of Queen Elizabeth I, Henry Kissinger, P. T.
Barnum, and other famous figures who have wielded—or
been victimized by—power, these laws will fascinate
any reader interested in gaining, observing, or defending
against ultimate control.
"It's The Rules for suits... . Machiavelli has
a new rival. And Sun—tzu better watch his back." —New
York magazine
"Beguiling ... literate ... fascinating ... a
wry primer for people who desperately want to be on
top." —People
