Thrawn was sitting reading a book devouring each sentence from the Republics greatest general.
General Jar Jar Binks Thrawns idol as a child, who with a glance knew Thrawns hobbies and interests and recognised Thrawn talent when he was a mere nine standard years.
"When youssa gotta fight, then youssa need to use your forces strengths and use ya foes weaknesses. Okay, day."
The sentence was the opening of the book the most vital lesson to learn.
Some critiqued this book for dumbing things down but Thrawn knew that was deliberate.
Jar Jar Binks considered these the fundamentals it was intended to be simple so as to allow others to build off a solid foundation of strategic and tactical knowledge.
This book that was used in officer school across the republic never went beyond the standard reading level for ten-year-old younglings. It was a child's textbook
Thrawn was hoping to gain further insight when the collection of Gungan and Naboo art he had bought arrive perhaps it would allow him to see the man behind the legend.
