"A Great Read and Handy Reference:  Bill Bahr's new book, Strategic Advantage: How to Win, is a hidden gem and much more than just another feel good publication offering hidden secrets on the road to success. Instead, it is a very rich compendium of theoretical wisdoms and practical applications through the ages, packed with insights from the ancients to the moderns and examples of how they (and others) put those ideas to work to their advantage. This is a learned book, written in a light-hearted manner that draws the reader in. Handy as a ready reference, it offers a concise source of pragmatic advice from noted experts and laymen alike. At the same time, it offers up a basis for deep consideration and fosters an appetite for further research by the contemplative reader. Bahr, with an impressive display of intellectual selection, covers a wide range of fields -- from war through business, politics, physical and mental competitions, to life in general. If you want to know Lyndon Johnson's art of the politically possible, Hannibal's or Napoleon's thoughts on warfare, Kasparov's insight on chess, or Barney Ross's basic guidance on the essence of boxing, they (and many other reflections) are a fingertip away. Want to learn how to block a block in basketball, or how a magician fools his audience without fail, take a peek. Illustrations abound, moral guidance suggested, and fun not forgotten. This is a book for all seasons and one to keep handy when preparing to make a point, in writing or in public speaking. I consider it a sound investment of both time and money."
—Colonel Jim McDonough (USA Ret.), former Director, School of Advanced Military Studies.  Author of Platoon Leader, The Defense of Hill 781, and The Limits of Glory.

 

 

"The expert in battle seeks his victory from STRATEGIC ADVANTAGE and does not demand it from his men."  —Sun Tzu


Want to win? Learn strategy from the masters! "Strategic Advantage" is a collection of powerful, winning techniques from the time of Troy to today. It covers a wealth of strategic principles for war, business, politics, games, martial arts, and general life. It also includes a compelling section on ethics. The book first mines a wide range of information from 87 master strategists, then refines it into the memorable "high five" principles of "strategic advantage" (handy, ready-reachable "electric" power tools) that allow you to better understand and quickly recall "how to win" in almost any competitive or cooperative situation.

This insight-filled book unveils powerful moves to win most anytime, anywhere. Written by a successful corporate director and West Pointer, it makes protecting yourself much easier. The essence of winning can be distilled from principles common to all successful human action. Of many actions open for examination, two are highly important: competition and cooperation. Studying competition yields insights into winning in fights for rights or interests. Studying cooperation brings skill at winning in groups with shared goals.

To cover these subjects, you can sift through the strategy books of master theorists from Sun Tzu, through Machiavelli and Clausewitz, to Drucker and Deming. You can also read about master practitioners from Ulysses, through Napoleon and Lee, to modern-day captains of industry and esteemed statesmen. To aid you in such effort, this book tries to unearth, consolidate, and integrate the works of these master strategists. Distilling the often hidden underlying essence of competition and cooperation, it reveals the universal rules of winning, those simple yet critical formulas that change a situation to your advantage. In doing so, it crystallizes the proven, powerful methods of attack and defense for your use in virtually any application.

Meet your Strategy Master Class instructors: The book surveys the following 87 strategic theorists, theorist-practitioners, and practitioners: Adolphus, Alexander the Great, Alger, Ali, Alinsky, Aristotle, Bezos, Bodhidharma, Boyd, Brady, Caesar, Carnegie, Clausewitz, Collins, David, Deming, Dibella, Drucker, Federer, Ferrazzi, Fischer, Flint, Foch, Ford, Frederick the Great, Giap, Grant (Charles), Grant (Ulysses), Griess, Hanashiro, Hannibal, Hatmaker, Hitler, Ho/Minh, Iacocca, Jackson, Jobs, Johnson, Jomini, Jordan, Kaliher, Kano, Kasparov, Kotler, Krzyzewski, Lee (Bruce), Lee (Robert), Leonidas, Liddell Hart, Longhurst, Lowe, MacArthur, Machiavelli, Maginot, Mao, McDonough, Morgan, Napoleon, Nunes, Odysseus/Ulysses, Ogilvy, Pandolfini, Patton, Pelé, Porter, Rameses II, Rockefeller, Ross, Rubenstein, Schlieffen, Schultz, Schwarzkopf, Sherman, Shotoku, Smith, Steinitz, Sun Tzu, Travis, Trotsky, Ueshiba, Von Neumann, Walton, Warden, Washington, Wellington, William the Conqueror, and Winter.
