Robert Greene discusses his book, “The 33 Strategies of War.” He begins by explaining that a good war strategy is to not fight at all, such as ignoring attacks like Queen Elizabeth I did during the defeat over the Spanish Armada. He talks about how it is essential that a country have only one leader, and explains Napoleon’s theories on war and leadership. Greene shares that it is important for a side to know its enemy and to be able to predict attacks. He says that a well-executed counterattack could change the outcome of a battle. He ends the interview by talking about how terrorism can provoke successful attacks, but war strategies much be reached rationally.
