Satya Nadella CEO/MicrosoftRecommends this book
Ryan Holiday AuthorThis 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. Think of this book as a textbook. Read it. (Source)
Steven Pressfield It is loaded with hardcore, timeless truths and the story it tells ought to be required reading for every citizen in a democracy. (Source)
