"Through riveting examples that span more than twenty centuries, victory! demonstrates how the same elements of strategy that have dictated the outcomes of history's most famous battles can be used to achieve triumphant success in your life." "Author Brian Tracy, a student of military history and a mastermind of business and personal success, describes each strategy in a clear, engaging style. You'll be fascinated to see how the world's greatest leaders leveraged these principles: from the 25-year-old Alexander's astonishing conquest in the Battle of Arbela in 331 A.D. to General Norman Schwarzkopf's triumphant "Hail Mary" attack in the 1991 Gulf War. And you'll learn how to develop the dynamic "force multipliers" that Tracy presents throughout the book. These fast-acting tools give you the advantage you need to prevail against more powerful competitors and overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles."--Jacket.
