Sun Tzu On The Art Of War: The Oldest Military Treatise In The World - The Definitive Edition - Softcover
Written in China more than 2,000 years ago, Sun Tzu's classic The Art of War is the first known study of the planning and conduct of military operations. These terse, aphoristic essays are unsurpassed in comprehensiveness and depth of understanding, examining not only battlefield maneuvers, but also relevant economic, political, and psychological factors. Indeed, the precepts outlined by Sun Tzu can be applied outside the realm of military theory. It is read avidly by Japanese businessmen and in fact was touted in the movie Wall Street as the corporate raider's bible. This edition is the actual and true translation from the Chinese with introduction and critical notes by Lionel Giles, at the time Assistant in the Department of Oriental Printed Books and MSS in the British Museum. With the added value of the introduction and notes by Lionel Giles, this translation is arguably the best and most authentic one available. Remarkable for its clear organization, lucid prose, and the acuity of its intellectual and moral insights, Sun Tzu On The Art of War is the definitive study of combat.
