Victory strategies have been studied for thousands of years, but it was only with the advent of the Japanese samurai that strategy became an exact science. `The Way and the Force` reveals the two sides of Japanese strategy (physical and psychological), examines in detail many aspects of this science, including in-e, michi, ki, aiki, maai, heshi, minara and sutemi, as well as their application in battle and business. An instructor of kenjutsu and aikijutsu, Fredrik Lovret included in his book a guide to the pronunciation of Japanese terms used in the text, and also analyzed famous battles in the light of Eastern strategy. Learn the strategies that have worked great for generations of winners. When entering into battle with an enemy, a business rival, or a kenjutsu master, think only about victory.
