It's really weird, the books written by Ninjas for Ninjas are the only pre-modern books in which I've read practical everyday tips and tricks for war.For example,>checking supposedly empty forts for birds on the walls to see if they're actually occupied>having one night patrol carry torches, while another patrol follows 100M behind who carry no lights, to catch spies trying to sneak pastThis is pretty weird to me. Anything written before the beginnings of industrialization (in any culture) seems to be quite macroscopic or philosophical for the upper class general or officer aspiring to be a general. Also weren't they supposed to be plebs? What were they doing reading and writing in the first place?
