Synopsis

Sun Tzu was a master at military tactics. His wisdom has been used successfully by many ancient and modern generals on the battlefield. In fact, his book, The Art of War, is still studied by the military and discussed in U.S. Army field manuals and journals. Corporate executives have also adapted the wisdom of Sun Tzu to enhance their leadership, planning, and tactics to overcome the competition. Lionel Giles, was a sinologist for the Department of Oriental Studies at the British Museum. His translated and edited version in 1910, is widely accepted as the most accurate english interpretation of the Art of War. James Garton, has compiled the Lionel Giles translation with notes, analysis, and commentary. He also provided: - A Summary of Each Chapter - The 40 Leadership Principals of Sun Tzu - A website that provides the reader free resources for further study of the tactics and principals found in the Art of War.

About this title

Review:

Sun Tzu's Art of War just got better. The Illustrated Art of War enlivens Thomas Cleary's complete translation, including commentaries, with full-color reproductions of paintings and statuary from China and Japan. Talk about martial art--these depictions show full battles scenes, the Chinese god of war, weaponry, processions--even an ancient map. --Brian Bruya

From the Publisher:

Here is a seminal work on the philosophy of successful leadership that is as applicable to contemporary business as it is to war. James Clavell has taken a 1910 translation and clarified it for the contemporary reader.
