The Art of War

The script used in this episode was written by Lt. Col. Craig Plain from the Wisconsin Air National Guard. The Art of War by Sun Tzu was written around 500 BC in Ancient China.  This collection of quotes on the 5 elements of war (Path, Heaven, Earth, Leader, and Law) has had a profound impact on military history.  Many of the world's most famous generals have used the book.  Likewise, many of the world's military training schools require the book as reading.  For more information, read:  http://www.scienceofstrategy.com/History/sun_tzu_history.htm   http://www.afpc.asso.fr/wengu/wg/wengu.php?l=Sunzi   http://www.online-literature.com/suntzu/   http://artofwar.thetao.info/china/history.htm   http://www.waikato.ac.nz/wfass/subjects/history/waimilhist/1998/suntzu.html   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Art_of_War   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Tzu   http://www.quotationspage.com/quotes/Sun-Tzu/ The Art of War by Sun Tzu, 1983 Delacorte Publishing Military History Podcast is sponsored by Armchair General Magazine
