That's Machiavelli "The Prince". Sun Tzu would urge you to LEARN from and DEPLOY your accountant and lawyer :xyxthumbs:

I've read it but I don't really see how most of the book can be related to being a webmaster.

I think its useful for more strategic and tactical thinking when you are dealing with very specific competitors in a market.

For example, right now Myspace has been having lots of server problems. A site like tagworld should exploit the hell out this issue in every way possible to steal Myspace's traffic.

One of my big hobbies used to be wargaming, both live and CG. I can see parallels between it and business.
