    191. 540s BC part 7 China - Sun Tzu

    191. 540s BC part 7 China - Sun Tzu

    We have a jam packed episode here for you guys! They say Genghis Khan was born clutching a bloody blood clot... but here we have Sun Tzu born on the same year of a major peace conference in China. History loves irony that's for sure.
    If you've been following along, you know that warfare in China during this period is endemic... maybe more like an epidemic. But as good humans they are trying. Let's see how this works out!
