The military history wasn’t so useful but there’s way more history made without guns than with them.

I'd argue that a lot of people have found Sun Tzu useful way outside of a military context, but also it's useful IMO to see where force fails or succeeds, and not just militarily. I might argue (as just an armchair person) that hostile takeovers etc might have some analogs. Stuff like comparing how various empires handled integrating conquests might sort of apply to mergers (though maybe that's not exactly military)... Even just the importance and limitations of morale in sprints etc.
