Book overview Sun Tzu’s ‘The Art of War’ and Machiavelli’s ‘The Prince’ both are fundamentally important works related to the areas of strategic leadership and decision making.

Although almost every leader has heard of these works, very few have read them in depth and applied the lessons they contain to their own life.

This is a huge oversight.

Both books contain wisdom and advice which is applicable to almost any situation a leader finds they are in.

Both books have a reputation for being dense and difficult to understand.

This is due to the fact that both were written in other languages and for other time periods.
