Did Sun Tzu Really Exist? The Mystery Behind The Art of War (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The man behind the most quoted strategy book in history may never have existed. Professor Peter Lorge — one of the world's leading historians of Chinese military history — joins Amar Singh to dismantle an enduring myth in Western thought: the legend of Sun Tzu and The Art of War .

8 Years To Translate Jap Ji Sahib? Here's Why (opens the original)

Music is usually associated with comfort or beauty. However, at Auschwitz, it was used as a tool of control, discipline, and deception. Anne explains why the orchestra was not about uplift or art, but rather a functional part of how the camp operated day-to-day.
