Over two-thousand years ago, an ancient Chinese Warrior wrote a brief book on warfare. His name was Sun Tzu. His book, The Art Of War, is now a staple for virtually any military strategic training.

Sun Tzu barely mentioned weaponry. Instead, he focused on strategies . . . strategies that convert to winning and losing. His insights into the nature of competition, battle and diplomacy apply to virtually every aspect of life, from the battlefield to the boardroom, from the football arena to the global arena.

Within this context, let's briefly examine the greatest challenges of our four most recent American presidents.
