The White Flag Principle : How to Lose a War and Why
1972, First Edition. [London] Allen Lane, The Penguin Press. Fine cloth copy in an equally fine dw. Particularly and uncommonly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. ; 150 pages; Description: 150 p. illus. 23 cm. Bibliography: p. [135]-147. Nearly 40 years ago, contemplating a dogfight between Israeli and Syrian jets, Shimon Tzabar got to thinking about how war works. The result is a crystal-clear, at times funny inversion of such classics as Sun-Tzu's The Art of War. Readers find the facts on why often victory is not all it's cracked up to be. Practical advice is offered as well, such as what to do if you're in danger of winning, and how to surrender in the midst of a firefight. Subjects: War -- Warfare -- Humour. Item #26836
