In this week’s episode we continue into part 2 of our campaign of Sun Tzu’s seminal work on military strategy, The Art of War. In the first half of the show we look at some historical examples of where, in alignment with Sun Tzu’s principles, snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. We focus on the circular relationship between the direct and indirect methods of attack, what it has to do with Taoism and defeating the enemy before the first sword can even be drawn. We even take a look at the allies “Ghost Division” which used indirect tactics to fool the Nazis in World War 2. In the second half of the show we go further into the art of maneuvering and the hideous perils associated with salt marshes before discussing the terrible fate which befell the Rus' princes who chased a feigned Mongol retreat to an ambush at Kalka River. Tune in next week for the final part, thank you and enjoy the show!
