Enjoy listening to it but you have to pay careful attention as it is written in a very concise manner. I find the author to be extremely literate and I would recommend the audiobook.
Strategy with Vision
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I usually recommend a book for one of three reasons: it is a good read, it makes me think, or it gives me useful information. I will recommend Greg Copley's The Art of Victory for all three reasons. Copley knows how to use story-telling to make his points and interest the reader. His examples and illustrative explanations cover a wide subject area in history, georgraphy and culture, giving the reader much to ponder. And his broad experience in business and government is demonstrated by his ability to concisely provide usefull information for those interested in strategy at any level. This is a book for anyone interested in strategy whether in terms of national policy or corporate planning.
