The Art of War Simplified - Paperback

by Vincent Gagliano (Author)

The Art of War is one of the oldest and most widely read books on tactics and strategy ever written, but it can also be one of the most mystifying for modern readers to tackle. In order to complete this book, author Vincent Gagliano studied several different translations of The Art of War, in addition to books on business, leadership, and military history. Here, he takes Sun Tzu's ideas and concepts and expresses them in a simplified form for first-time readers. He also describes how he came to write the book, and how new readers can study the text, helping them learn the concepts and apply them to everyday life. Whether you are facing struggles on the literal battlefield, in the boardroom, or in the arena, the ideas first expressed by Sun Tzu 2,500 years ago are still relevant today. Mastering the concepts of combat in any situation can give you the edge up on your competition, starting today!

Vincent Gagliano is a career banker who has used these ideas to innovate in some most challenging projects in the financial services industry, including underwriting millions of dollars in loans for a subsidiary of Truist, enabling M&T Bank to achieve compliance in a major FDIC regulation, and helping a global bank complete a $100 billion model coverage exercise. He has an MBA from Cornell University and a BS from the University of Florida with Majors in Mathematics and Statistics.
