''The 33 Strategies of War'' by Robert Greene is a "guide to the subtle social game of everyday life informed by the ... military principles in war.".〔Greene, Robert, "The 33 Strategies of War", Viking Adult, 2006〕 It is composed of discussions and examples on offensive and defensive strategies from a wide variety of people and conditions, applying them to social conflicts such as family quarrels and business negotiations. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/books/reviews/the-33-strategies-of-war-by-robert-greene-468732.html )〕 == Reception == ''The Independent'' said Greene has set himself up as "a modern-day Machiavelli" but that "it is never clear whether he really believes what he writes or whether it is just his shtick, an instrument of his will to shift £20 hardbacks." and concludes "There is something less than adult about it all." Admiral James G. Stavridis said the book had good breadth, but it lacked depth. Leadership theorist and author John Adair said Greene "shows a poor grasp of the subject" and the book is based on the flawed "assumption that the art of military strategy and the art of living are comparable". Booklist said the book was repetitive, lacked a sense of humor, and had an annoying "quasi-spiritual tone". NBA player Chris Bosh stated that his favorite book is ''The 33 Strategies of War''.〔Tice, Carol. (All’s Fair? ). ''Entrepreneur''. November 1, 2006.〕 ''The 33 Strategies of War'' was part of the reading list for youths attending the Indigenous Leadership Forum organised by the University of Victoria, which aimed to redesign radical Indigenous politics and the Indigenist movement.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Indigenous Leadership Forum IGOV 595/384 A01 ) 〕 It is also read by students attending a Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary course in Christian apologetics. In the book Greene writes that "Afghanistan was rich in natural gas and other minerals and had ports on the Indian Ocean": 〔Greene, ''The 33 Strategies of War'', p284.〕 Afghanistan is land-locked. The political tales in the book are said to be "mostly foolish or just plain wrong".〔(St Louis Post-Dispatch ), ''If war's a given, then strategy is the wild card'', by Joseph Losos, 29 January 2006.〕 The book has "far too many duff sentences",〔 for example: "Your goal is to blend philosophy and war, wisdom and battle, into an unbeatable blend."〔〔Greene, ''The 33 Strategies of War'', preface, pXX.〕 It has sold more than 200,000 copies.〔(Robert Greene Interview, Part 1 ).
