The Art of War

Was surprised how detailed-oriented and tactical this was, where one might have expected this to be much more of wartime strategy laid out as a metaphor that can be broadly applicable to regular hurdles in our lives.  This instead gets granular to the level of describing how to set up meticulously planned border attacks around identified targets and how to weaken generals by making them spread their forces, or even how to capture and repurpose munitions.  There are a few applicable takeaways that someone could mine for - including when and how to strategize, design, then execute a plan to win a (proverbial) battle... maybe even stretched to connect to how to handle certain everyday personal or professional conflict.
