Lee had withdrawn to higher ground at Gettysburg instead of sending Pickett uphill against the entrenched Union line. Or if Napoléon, at Waterloo, had avoided mistakes he'd never made before. The advice that would have changed these crucial battles was written down centuries before Christ was born--but unfortunately for Lee, Napoléon, and Hitler, Sun Tzu's \u003cem\u003eThe Art of War \u003c\/em\u003eonly became widely available in the West in the mid-twentieth century. As Bevin Alexander shows, Sun Tzu's maxims often boil down to common sense, in a particularly pure and clear form. When Alexander frames these modern battles against 2,400-year-old precepts, the degree of overlap is stunning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eAlexander, Bevin:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eBevin Alexander\u003c\/strong\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eHow Great Generals Win\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLost Victories\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eInside the Nazi War Machine\u003c\/i\u003e.
