Introduction: life as conflict -- 1 On losing -- 2 Waging peace -- 3 The art of war --- 4 Decision making -- 5 Intelligence preparation of the battlefield -- 6 Strategy, operations, tactics and the art of campaigning -- 7 Organization and incident command -- Conclusion: On winning
Summary: "Ritter proposes that the antiwar movement seek guidance from sources they would ordinarily spurn: the philosophies of those who have mastered the art of conflict, from Caesar to Napoleon, Sun Tzu to Clausewitz. In the vein of Rules for Radicals and The Art of War, Ritter argues that one must study the "enemy" in order to learn the art of campaigning, of waging battles only when necessary, and having the ability to wage a struggle on several fronts simultaneously."-- from jacket
