Time To Educate Yourself On The Art Of War by MossadAgent: 3:03pm On Aug 14, 2017
War clouds are gathering and the storm is imminent.

I will be recommending some classic books on the Art of War.

First on my list will have to be on Guerrilla warfare as this will be the only option for the civilian populace against a tyrannical central govt bent on pushing the Sunni Jihadist agenda.

For this I highly recommend the "Guerrilla Warfare" by Enersto Che Guevara.


Not limited to the battle field, this book is rich on how to cultivate support from the civilian populace, how to maintain discipline in a civilian militia, propaganda and the effective use of communication and media to spread the goals of the insurgent.

The Art of War by Sun Tzu

The Art of War is an ancient Chinese military treatise dating from the 5th century BC and is attributed to the ancient Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu ("Master Sun", also spelled Sunzi). The text is composed of 13 chapters, each of which is devoted to one aspect of warfare and it is commonly thought of as a definitive work on military strategy and tactics. It was placed at the head of China's Seven Military Classics upon the collection's creation in 1080 by Emperor Shenzong of Song, and has long been the most influential strategy text in East Asia. It has had an influence on Eastern and Western military thinking, business tactics, legal strategy and beyond.

The Persian Expedition by Xenophon.

In 400 BC, 10,000 Greeks are hired as mercenaries by Cyrus the Younger in his attempt to steal the Persian throne. They win the battle but Cyrus is killed in the fighting, stranding the entire Greek force thousands of miles and dozens of hostile countries from home. Xenophon is elected to be a leader of the troops and encourages them to fight their way home. All sorts of wonderful tactical thoughts and stories of leadership and bravery are shown in their journey home. Xenophon was a student of Socrates and philosophy so this book is a chance to see those teachings in action.
This may come in handy for my igbo brothers who may find themselves in a sticky situation in the north come October 1st.

Gates of Fire: An Epic Novel of the Battle of Thermopylae by Steven Pressfield.

 It might seem weird to recommend a book of fiction on this list, but smarter people than I — and many actual soldiers — have all raved about the accuracy and poignancy of this book. It is perhaps the clearest and best book written on the 300 Spartans who fought the Persians (and sacrificed themselves) at Thermopylae.

Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World by Jack Weatherford. 

The Mongols were vicious animals and sub-human brutes weren’t they? Or was that all part of their strategy, aimed to intimidate enemies into submitting without a fight? Genghis Khan was one of the smartest warriors who ever lived, so I’ll say it was the latter. The Mongols turned war into a science — in fact, the first thing they did when they conquered new territory was find the scientists and scholars and deploy them as needed. They were masters of speed, surprise, and maneuver. They were also masters of cruelty and violence, no doubt about it. But these tactics were all used to surprising ends and built an empire that rivaled any other in history, and one that was actually known for its peace, prosperity, and freedom.

War is part of human nature.

The foundations of all the greatest empires and civilizations were built on the sweat, pains and blood of warfare.

War is the only way we can fix our own corner of Nigeria.

We have been talking for too long with nothing to show for it.

And if you must know, the next war isn't by our own doing but will be instigated by the fulanis to grab our land and resources. So we have no choice but to fight or be killed!

I choose war over death.

I would also add Mao Zedong's "On Guerrilla Warfare". Great attention must also be paid to the dialectic minds of these revolutionaries. They must have a unifying basis that serves as a lever in mental warfare. This is where Karl Marx and Lenin come in. They must be imbibed with the ideology to actively resist the ills of imperialism and expunge them with stunning precision.
