The ‘Art of War’ I have read end to end but...it cannot compare to Musashi’s ‘The Book of FIVE RINGS’. Almost every exec from Tokyo to Singapore make it their bible of the business world.

[GAB-1955]

Do not include either the Art of War or the Book of Five Rings unless you also include a Western perspective on warfare. One thing I have learned in studying military history is that broad, over-theoretical books are not useful when analyzing a campaign or a battle. Include The Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World: from Marathon to Waterloo by Creasy in the same package, as well as Crane's The Red Badge of Courage.
