re: #498 PhillyPretzel

From Sun Tzu’s Art of War: In peace prepare for war, in war prepare for peace. The art of war is of vital importance to the state. It is a matter of life or death, a road to either safety or to ruin. Hence under no circumstances can it be neglected.

My favourite book on the subject of war. I have a copy at my bedside that I often read before sleeping.
