SUMMARY:Sunzi and the Chinese Way of War
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Geoff Babb from the Department of Military History at the US Army Command and General Staff College will discuss Ancient Chinese War with an emphasis on the thirteen chapters of Sun Tzu’s Art of War.  After a brief look at The Six Secret Teachings of Tai Kung\, the presentation examines enduring phrases from each chapter. Dr. Babb also provides examples from American military history that show the application of Sun’s theories to warfare 2500 years later.  The presentation ends with how Sun Tzu ideas are applied in the study\, planning\, and conduct of war today. \n  \n\n  \nDr. Geoff Babb was commissioned from Bowdoin College in Brunswick\, Maine in 1973 as a US Army Military Intelligence Officer.

After retiring from the military\, he earned a Masters in East Asian Languages and Cultures\, and a Doctorate in History from the University of Kansas. He has published numerous book chapters and articles on China and Asia. He currently serves as a professor in the Department of Military History. \nThe Ft. Leavenworth Series is an annual roster of lectures focusing on significant historical events\, usually with an emphasis on military history. Each lecture is presented by faculty from the United States Army Command and General Staff College in Ft. Leavenworth\, Kansas. Established by General William Tecumseh Sherman in 1881\, the CGSC is the graduate college for U.S. Army and sister service officers.
