TEN FACTS ABOUT NIRBHAY CRUISE MISSILE OF INDIA
Best Books on Strategy/War - Part I
History of the Peloponnesian War
This book of a long forgotten war really functions as a
biography and strategic analysis of some of the greatest minds in
the history of war. We have Pericles, Brasidas, Alcibiades and many
others.The anecdotes and the stories in this book are timeless.If
you make your way all the way through it, I promise you will not
forget it. Because the war was so long, involved so many different
countries and was so varied (sea, land, siege, politics), it
basically covers every type of situation you can think of.
Rules for Radicals,Reveille for Radicals
Both Hillary ClintonandBarack Obama studied Alinsky extensively
as they mapped their individual paths to power. He is the real
originator of the concept of community organization.Alinsky was
also a die hard pragmatist, a man who had ideals but also a sense
for working with and through the system to get what he needed. In
fact, his best examples in these books is actually how tousethe
system against itself to get what he needed. These two books are
classics and woefully underrated.
The Power Broker
The is probably the most definitive and comprehensive narrative
of power ever written.It maps the entire career of the city planner
Robert Moses. I know that doesnt seem like a particularly
illustrative case study for power and strategy but Robert
Moseslivedpower. He controlled the expansion and the building of
civilizations most advanced and important cityand he did it because
he was a strategic genius (and of course, a power addict).
The 33 Strategies of War
Robert is a crack researcher and storyteller he has a profound
ability to explain timeless truths through story and example. You
can read the classics and not always understand the lessons. But if
you read Roberts books, I promise you will leave not just with
actionable lessons but an indelible sense of what to do in many
trying and confusion situations. Also the extra benefit of reading
Robert is that you get mini-bios of strategic geniuses like
Napoleon, Edison, Machiavelli, Caesar, Cortez, and others.
How To Profit By Ones Enemies
This short essay from Plutarch is about an important strategic
(and life) lesson. Our enemies and our obstacles are always
teaching us. There is always some lesson or advantage we can derive
from them. But we must make ourselves open to this. We must
cultivate an attitude that welcomes these lessons rather than
fights against them.
