The most famus combat strategist in Japanese history was Musashi Miyamoto, a warrior who lived from 1584-1645. Musashi fought his first duel to the death when he was 13, killing a veteran warrior more than twice his age. By the time he was 29, he had killed over 60 other warriors in death duels and was a legend in his own time.
Just before hae died, Musashi recorded his philosophy, stategies and tactics in a short treatise entitled Go Rin Sho-'Book of Five Rlings'. Author Boye Lafayette de Mente has extacted the fundamentals of Musashi's tactics from this esoteric little book and explains them here in the modern context of business, politics and war.
Musashi's strategies for winning are as valid today as they were in seventeeth century Japan, and provide valuable insights for anyone in any field of endeavor-from business, war and sports to the fields of art, love and politics.
