Attaining Success: The Principles by Which Great Leaders Attain Their Objectives

Attaining Success explicates the principles by which great leaders throughout history have attained their objectives -- not what they say they did, but what they actually did. Attaining Success is on the world as it is, not "as it is said to be." All of the leaders attained their objectives in part by force, by fighting, and all followed the same principles in fighting. (Indeed, all of the leaders learned the principles in part by studying the lives of their predecessors; Bill Gates, for instance, pored over biographies of Napoleon.) Attaining Success lays out these principles and shows how leaders such as Caesar, Richelieu, Napoleon, Talleyrand, and Gates applied them.
