Many thanks for the complete and careful read. True story: when I submitted the original manuscript to M&T Books, Debra Williams Cauley (who was acting as my book editor) pointed out this typo in the introductory paragraph to this very chapter (Chapter 9). I had written: <i>In his ninth chapter, Sun Tzu talks about how a general needs to deal with terrain, read the enemy, and govern troops. As one Chinese commentator said of a 5th century B.C. general, “His civil virtues endeared him to the people; his marital prowess kept his enemies in awe” (The Art of War, James Clavell, ed., p. 49). Not a bad model to follow.</i> Debra pointed out that while this general's <i>marital</i> prowess might well have kept his enemies in awe, not to mention his wife, I probably wanted to refer to his <i>martial</i> prowess. :-) ..bruce..
