Skinesaye learned how to play texas holdem poker in high school. He says he had a reputation, even at college, for being pretty good at it. Skinesaye: i like it ifyou think your opponent has good cards, maybe get a bick lighter out e torchum or melt their chips.

We learn the art of military strategy, deception, and fire from Michael Nylan's 2020 translation of this classic text. We start by going in-depth on the contemporary political references in Nylan's Introduction to this edition, and then we go blow-by-blow and nugget-by-inspirational-nugget through Master Sun's timeless wisdom.

Here's translator Michael Nylan writing about the book for LitHub: "The Art of War is Actually a Manual on How to Avoid It."

Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.
