Summary
Several days ago I published a new, annotated translation of the "Stratagems" of Frontinus. It is a vastly underappreciated classic of military theory. In this podcast, I present the work and the author. I also explain why "Stratagems" is unique, and why it is a superb manual on leadership and how to prevail in any conflict.
