Description

Explore the evolution of power and strategy through three millennia of Chinese history. Using the political theories of Machiavelli as a guide, authors Dennis and Ching Ping Bloodworth examine how leaders have fought wars, won battles, and maintained control throughout the ages. This work traces the political-military landscape from the era of Confucius to the rise of Mao Zedong. It provides a deep look into the methods used by various historical figures to navigate the world of power politics. Readers will encounter a wide range of personalities, including wise strategists, heroic generals, and crafty statesmen. Beyond the battlefield and the court, the book covers the spectrum of Chinese thought. You will learn about the differences between stately Confucian philosophers and the cunning tactics of Legalist thinkers. This book offers a comprehensive view of the figures who shaped China, from ruthless emperors to brave knights-errant, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in Asian history and political science.
