Was "The Art of War" made into a movie with Weley Snipes, also called The Art of War?

I know this is an ancient thread, but the topic is dear to me. So I will make my first post here

As for martial philosophy and knowledge how can we ignore the 'Bahavat Gita'

It is good to be on this site.

Indian History mentions about very few Sea wars.
I am interested to know the views of Indian Thinkers and Strategists about the Sea Wars.

It is actually 'Management and Machiavelli' -
'An inquiry into the Politics of Corporate Life'.
Authour is Anthony Jay. He was in fact a retired executive producer for the BBC.
Later on, he went free-lance with his own consultant firm.

It is advisable to get the original 'Prince' and the other book by Machiavelli, before reading this one.

'The Leadership Qualities of Atilla Hun' though interesting is not historical.

"In the runaway bestseller Leadership Secrets Of Attila The Hun, author Wess Roberts draws from the imaginary thoughts of one of history's most effective and least beloved leaders, Attila the Hun, to discover leadership principles you can apply to your own situation."

Athenian writer Thucydides: The Peloponnesian War (c.400 B.C.) is the only other 'western' classic on war and strategy.

http://classics.mit.edu/Thucydides/pelopwar.html

But von Clausewitz is considered the strategist beyond compare in the west.

Here is 'AN INSTRUCTOR'S GUIDE TO TEACHING CLAUSEWITZ' from the National War College in the US.

Folks, there is a new translation of Chanakya's Arthasastra by Prof L N Rangarajan - currently at Lancaster University, UK and served as India's Ambassador to Norway and other countries. It is a superb translation.

It is published by Penguin India. http://www.penguinindia.com - I guess it comes to about $10 including postage.

Here are some excerpts:

Has anyone read "48 laws of power" I think it's by Robert Greene. I found that to be a great read on strategies.

I bought the book "The art of war" on recommnendation but it was so hard to follow. I was all in point forms and had no flow.

Read as -
'diariyist of Mohammed of Ghaur'.

[prearpaccew]

It make worthwhile effort to read various campaigns which have been carried out in the course of history.

Alexander's personal historian Arrian has recorded many of the campains.

The Battle of Hydaspes is graphically described.

How with a mere meagre force of 6000, he was able to tilt the balance and beat Porus's army of 30000 together with 200 war elephants.

Then there is the Battle of Tarain which has been described by the dairiyist if Mohammed of Ghaur.

We also have details about the Afgan-Maratha War and the Battle of Talikota.

They make very absorbing reading.

[HawksBurnDown]

There was another Chinese general called 'Sun Pin'.

He was an ancestor of Sun Tzu.

One of his tactics was applied by Mao Tse Tung during one of his campaigns.
