Gregory Copley�s The Art of Victory: Strategies for Personal Success and Global Survival in a Changing World is a timeless, readable treatise on grand strategy and the achievement of long-term personal, corporate, and national goals, more comprehensive in scope than Sun-tzu�s Art of War, von Clausewitz�s On War, or Machiavelli�s The Prince. It deals with the fundamentals of victory, and how it is achieved and perpetuated down the generations.

The Art of Victory is based on the author�s four decades of work at the highest levels of governments around the world and was originally written as a guide to national leaders to shape long-term strategies for national success. But its lessons apply equally to the success of individuals and corporations.

Twenty-eight of the chapters each begin with a maxim, which is expanded and discussed, on themes vital to personal and national victory, ranging from leadership, loyalty, belief systems, identity security, the importance of alliances as well as of enemies, perception, psychological strategies, grand strategies, the role of conflict, and the meaning of peace, and much more.

The Art of Victory deals specifically with our current Age of Transformation, and the challenges which will face us as individuals and societies in the coming decades. It gets to the core of why and how globalization impacts society, and how it interacts with the creation of terrorism, for example. It is also the first major book published on psychological strategy and, in the true sense, grand strategy. The Art of Victory is a roadmap through the Age of Transformation to what the author calls the Age of Opportunity.

In outlining the upheavals facing societies over the coming few decades, Copley outlines � in a manner never done before � all of the historical tools mankind has developed to survive and prosper, and how these are the essential elements we all need to ensure the continuation of prosperity and security. This is a sophisticated book for people at all levels who wish to take command of their destinies; it doesn�t gloss over the harsh realities, but it is a manual of optimism and practical advice.

Thirty packed chapters guide readers through the 28 maxims, and what they mean. Click here for details of the chapters and the maxims.
