I was much inpressed by your reference to an early Chinese tactician whose name I did not catch (Sun Su?), who laid down certain principles of war which were subsequently adopted by the Russians. If it is not too much trouble I would like to have the benefit of knowing what these principles are, and would appreciate it if they are available, to have them sent me, or if not, a reference where they might be found.
