We study war disasters in history, philosophy and human history, and suggest education, inspiration and wisdom. The Bottom Logic of War is a sublimated version of the history of war. The Bottom Logic of War written by the famous British strategist Reed Hart was published by Taihai Publishing House. Reed Hart is a British strategist and historian. His works are rich, focusing on strategy and war history. His research is regarded as the pioneer of strategic research. In this book, the author teaches us the philosophy of life through war and history.
Cultivating long-term historical concepts through historical research will help us stay calm and help us continue to live in the future evolution. History teaches us to benefit from the experience of others, so studying history will provide us with a wide range of opportunities. German bloody chancellor Bmax once said that fools say they learn from experience, while I would rather benefit from other people's experience. Since we can benefit from other people's experiences, why should we encounter those misfortunes? Benefit from other people's misfortunes, so Polybius believes that knowledge gained from real history is the best education.
Through history and real life, we can benefit from others' slips and falls, realize our own shortcomings, not easily condemn others' mistakes, and look at the difficulties and setbacks encountered in work or life with a growing mentality.
Studying history will give us wisdom. How should we read history? How to study history? The author provides scientific research methods in this book. The author thinks that adapting to the ever-changing environment is the prerequisite for survival. If we get rid of prejudice, then we should have insight and appropriate limits. The road to truth is paved with doubts, and the exploration of history may prevent us from looking at problems subjectively. First of all, we should distinguish between opinions and facts about a certain point of view. Then deal with the problem with suspicion and suspicion.
The author thinks that the ideal state of life is to face life as a sober teenager, so the first reaction when encountering problems should be, is this true? With this spirit of questioning, we can discover the truth and observe the truth through the interests and interests of the parties.
Everyone of us has done stupid things, even those famous people in history. Therefore, the author believes that the most dangerous mistake for smart people to realize what they have done is not realizing that they will make mistakes, which is also a common problem for leaders. Therefore, treating history and facts also requires us to be vigilant and alert at all times.
Through the study of human wars in the twentieth century, it is not difficult for the author to introduce wars and call them wars. The environment of war has stimulated the growth of various militant germs, and people with long-term historical vision are constantly rebuilding peace, but it is still difficult. No one can win in the real sense in the war.
When talking about war, Arthur Wellesley Duke of Wellington said, we should focus on war, not dwell on means. Only those who really know the truth can be good at ensuring peace. The author believes that if you want peace, you must understand war. Sun Tzu's Art of War holds that if you want peace, you must first prepare for war, and if you want peace, you must first understand war.
Through the underlying logic of war, the author draws conclusions from various experiences since ancient times, studies war, draws lessons from it, and maintains strong strength. In any case, he should keep calm and have unlimited patience. Don't corner your opponents, but also save their face. I can put myself in the other's shoes and see things from the right angle. We should get rid of the self-righteous devil, the concept of victory and the wrong idea that war cannot be limited, and study war and peace in the current complicated international situation.
What is a real leader? The author believes that a true leader is a calm strategist who can reach a compromise between truth and people's acceptance. Their effectiveness often depends on their understanding of truth and their practical wisdom.
People have two treasures, hands and brains. And the brain is used for thinking and seeking truth. Only by digging historical facts, thinking about the logic behind them, following the spirit of truth and seeking world peace can mankind climb the peak continuously.
At the end of The Bottom Logic of War, the author thinks that China's Confucianism provides more spiritual elements for human beings, while western values emphasize "don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you". We should study history with a complete career, extending vertically and horizontally. It is unintentional to pursue the goal by hook or by crook, but it is counterproductive to pursue progress by coercion.
Get wisdom and inspiration from history, look at the truth with your eyes, be honest, pursue the greatest value of life and take care of others. This requires training, looking for wisdom and experience from history, and seeing the enlightenment from history while pursuing the light in our own eyes.
