The ancient Chinese philosopher Sun Tzu taught that readiness is all, that knowledge of oneself and the enemy is the foundation of strength, and that those who fight best are those wise enough not to fight at all. These people were revered and known as "warrior-sages." Now, we refer to them as "suckers." Sun Tzu Was a Sissy teaches you how to wage war, win, and enjoy the plunder in the real world. Students of Master Stanley Bing will learn how to plan and execute battles that hurt other people a lot and advance their flags and those of their friends. Every other book on the "Art of War" bows low to Sun Tzu. This one tells him to get lost.

Stanley Bing is a columnist for FORTUNE magazine and the best-selling author of What Would Machiavelli Do and Throwing The Elephant, as well as the highly acclaimed new novel You Look Nice Today and the ultimate guide to life in this or any other workplace world, The Big Bing. By day, he is an haute executive in a gigantic multinational corporation whose identity is one of the worst-kept secrets in business.
