The Complete Strategy & War Collection (Vol. 1) is a powerhouse anthology of strategic mastery, adapted for today's leaders, entrepreneurs, and independent thinkers. Drawing from ancient philosophy, martial discipline, political cunning, and wartime intelligence, this collection will transform the way you think about power, control, and disruption.

What You'll Discover in This Modern Translation:

  • The Art of War by Sun Tzu - The ancient Chinese military manual that teaches how to win without fighting, shape your enemy's perception, and achieve victory through patience, preparation, and strategy.
  • The Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi - A Japanese samurai's guide to swordsmanship, mindset, and self-mastery, revealing how to gain advantage in any confrontation-physical or mental.
  • The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli - A cold, clear-eyed analysis of how rulers gain and maintain power-through fear, force, and calculated manipulation.
  • The Simple Sabotage Field Manual (OSS) - A once-secret WWII document from America's wartime intelligence agency outlining how to weaken systems through seemingly minor acts of resistance and disruption.

These four works span cultures and centuries, but together they form an unbreakable framework for navigating conflict, building power, and dominating through influence. Whether you're in business, politics, negotiation, or personal transformation-this is your battlefield toolkit.

Prepare not just to play the game-but to master it.

Sun Tzu

Sun Tzu, also known as Sun Wu or Sunzi, was an ancient Chinese military strategist believed to be the author of the acclaimed military text, The Art of War. Details about Sun Tzu’s background and life are uncertain, although he is believed to have lived c. 544-496 BCE. Through The Art of War, Sun Tzu’s theories and strategies have influenced military leaders and campaigns throughout time, including the samurai of ancient and early-modern Japan, and more recently Ho Chi Minh of the Viet Cong and American generals Norman Swarzkopf, Jr. and Colin Powell during the Persian Gulf War in the 1990s.
