    Episode 13 The use of Spies

    Episode 11 Know Thyself
    Aug 25 2019

Delight

Delightful superbly written podcasts with very interesting and relevant historical facts. So happy I found this.
I gave this book to my daughter and it was too difficult for her. After listening to a few episodes of this podcast she's VERY intrigued and motivated to read Art of War and listen to this podcast!
