      abstract = {This book investigates cultural influences of competitive  sports on U.S. and Chinese strategic thinking and tactical  behavior. Most competitive sports owe their origins to  human fighting. Although they are ritualized contests,  competitive sports have retained many aspects of human  warfare, especially the use of strategy and tactics that  moves human contest beyond military clashes to the  subjugation of opponents without bloodshed. Cultural  influences usually go unnoticed. Indeed, Washington often  conducts foreign affairs like football games without  knowing that is the case. Likewise, Beijing moves in Weiqi  style subconsciously. This book uncovers these influences.  David Lai, Ph.D. is currently an adjunct professor at the  George Washington University, USA and previously professor  at the U.S. Army and Air War Colleges respectively.},
