Review

"Following a number of authors who have adopted Sun Tzu's The Art of Wat to modern-day business "battlefields," Scott A. Watson, CPP, CFE, has applied the strategist's 2,5000-year old wisdom to the job professional security manager."

"Watson divides his application of Sun Tzu into ten basic areas, demonstrating how to reapply advice origianlly intended for Chinese generals of antiquity."

"Security professionals who aspire to leadership roles will find much to consider in The Art of War for Security Managers."

Security Management, Brent Campbell
