The 33 Strategies of War

Brilliant distillations of the strategies of war-and the subtle social game of everyday life-by the bestselling author of The 48 Laws of Power and The Laws of Human NatureRobert Greene's groundbreaking guides, The 48 Laws of Power, The Art of Seduction, and Mastery, espouse profound, timeless lessons from the events of history to help readers vanquish an enemy, ensnare an unsuspecting victim, or become the greatest in your field. In The 33 Strategies of War, Greene has crafted an important addition to this ruthless and unique series. Spanning world civilizations, synthesizing dozens of political, philosophical, and religious texts and thousands of years of violent conflict, The 33 Strategies of War is the I-Ching of conflict, the contemporary companion to Sun Tzu's The Art of War. Abundantly illustrated with examples from history, including the folly and genius of everyone from Napoleon to Margaret Thatcher, Shaka the Zulu to Lord Nelson, Hannibal to Ulysses S. Grant, as well as movie moguls, Samurai swordsmen, and diplomats, each of the thirty-three chapters outlines a strategy that will help you win life's wars. Learn the offensive strategies that require you to maintain the initiative and negotiate from a position of strength, or the defensive strategies designed to help you respond to dangerous situations and avoid unwinnable wars. The great warriors of battlefields and drawing rooms alike demonstrate prudence, agility, balance, and calm, and a keen understanding that the rational, resourceful, and intuitive always defeat the panicked, the uncreative, and the stupid. An indispensable book, The 33 Strategies of War provides all the psychological ammunition you need to overcome patterns of failure and forever gain the upper hand.

Greene, Robert

▪ English writer
born July 1558?, Norwich, Eng.
died Sept. 3, 1592, London
 one of the most popular English prose writers of the later 16th century and Shakespeare's most successful predecessor in blank-verse romantic comedy. He was also one of the first professional writers and among the earliest English autobiographers.

      Greene obtained degrees at both Cambridge and Oxford. He then went to London, where he became an intimate of its underworld. He wrote more than 35 works between 1580 and 1592. To be certain of supplying material attractive to the public, Greene at first slavishly followed literary fashions. His first model was John Lyly's Euphues.

      In the later 1580s Greene wrote prose pastorals in the manner of Sir Philip Sidney's Arcadia, interspersed with charming, often irrelevant lyrics that have given Greene a reputation as a poet. The best of his pastorals is Pandosto (1588), the direct source of Shakespeare's (Shakespeare, William) The Winter's Tale.

      About 1590 Greene began to compose serious didactic works. Beginning with Greenes never too late (1590), he related prodigal son stories. That Greene drew on his own experience is evident from the tract Greenes groats-worth of witte, bought with a million of repentance, printed posthumously in 1592 with Greene's admission that Roberto's experiences were essentially his own. In Groats-worth appears the first printed reference to Shakespeare, assailed as “an upstart Crow, beautified with our feathers, that with his Tygers heart wrapt in a Players hide, supposes he is as well able to bumbast out a blanke verse as the best of you . . . in his owne conceit the onely Shake-scene in a countrie.” (The words in italics are from Shakespeare's I Henry VI.) Greene is thought to be criticizing Shakespeare the actor.

      Greene's writings for the theatre present numerous problems; the dating of his plays is conjectural, and his role as collaborator has produced much inconclusive discussion. With The Honorable Historie of frier Bacon, and frier Bongay (written c. 1591, published 1594), the first successful romantic comedy in English, Greene realized his comic talent in drama. In The Scottish Historie of James the fourth, slaine at Flodden (written c. 1590, published 1598) he used an Italian tale but drew on fairy lore for the characters of Oberon and Bohan. It was a forerunner of As You Like It and A Midsummer Night's Dream. As Marlowe anticipated the tragedies of Shakespeare, so, in a lesser way, Greene furnished him a model in dramatic comedy and romance.

      In his last year Greene wrote exposés of the Elizabethan underworld, such as A Notable Discovery of Coosnage (1591) and the successful and amusing A disputation betweene a hee conny-catcher and a shee conny-catcher (1592).
