Description: Sun Tzu, the legendary author of The Art of War, perhaps the single most influential treatise on strategy, warfare, & tactics in all of history. There’s no doubt that among those who apply their minds to studying & mastering the craft of war, Sun Tzu is the standard by which others are judged.
Vlad the Impaler. The historical face and inspiration behind none other than Dracula. Feared for the atrocities, tortures, and general ruthlessness he displayed during his rule of Wallachia. Also, he’s arguably the source of our modern media’s vampiric malaise – not only as the man behind the myth, but quite possible as relative of Robert Pattinson. It’s like the atrocities committed in his time weren’t enough, and now, Twilight. Ugh. But that’s neither here nor there when it comes to evaluating how Vlad would have held up in single combat with one of warfare’s greatest minds.
