Official synopsis Publisher
The book is divided into twelve smaller books, each dealing with an important aspect of war, from the thinking about waging war, to the actual execution of a strategy, and also the victory that comes along with the successful implementation of a plan. Book One explains the nature of war, and also stresses the importance of the decision to go to war in the first place. It is not a decision that should be rushed; when war is considered, plans should be made first to ensure that a campaign can be successful. Only when these plans have been made can war be declared. A successful war is not planned in retrospect. There must also be a reason for the war. What is the objective? What is hoped to be gained? More territory? More power? The neutralization of the enemy? There should be defined goals that enable a strategy to develop which in turn will ensure a victory.
