The art of war was written by Sun Tzu in 512 BC. While certainly an old text, some of it's wisdom still holds true today. This episode is going to talk about how to win in warfare without actually fighting.

Information is derived from a number of historical sources including websites, historians, and literature. The fog of history is a real thing, even relatively recent events often have sources in disagreement or relying on one another. When possible information is derived from first-hand sources and where not possible information is found by taking multiple second-hand sources. It is not possible for anyone to guarantee perfect historical accuracy, but I do my absolute best to ensure that all information in my videos is well sourced and backed up by historical sources and evidence.

Interesting, short and sweet.

Very nice

So this was a great narrating element here the voice itself is really nice and has a crisp and clear sound the animation is presented well along the narrating so really nice job here and some really nice visuals you really put together something nice here

~~SUGGESTED IDEAS~~
no changes as this was well done and is fine as is.

I really should read me some Sun Tzu some time! So much wisdom in the classics... the topic here seems pretty self-explanatory, but the examples lend it a bit more entertaining/enlightening a structure. Nice work.

-cd-

I like the way of narrative, but the story of Zhao Yun playing music at the open gate of empty (unguarded) city is not exact accurate - It was Zhu Gelian (Zhao's boss, the prime minister) who did it, scared off his arch enemy - Si Mayi.

Some history here and there is not a bad thing...
