The Art of War Hardcover - 2002

by Sun-Tzu


Summary

Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are.Offering ancient wisdom on how to use skill, cunning, tactics and discipline to outwit your opponent, this bestselling 2000-year-old military manual is still worshipped by soldiers on the battlefield and managers in the boardroom as the ultimate guide to winning.

From the publisher

The Art of War was originally intended as a set of principles designed to maximize the chances for military victory and national survival, and minimize the chances of military defeat and human loss. Whatever philosophic purposes it has been put to by later generations and other cultures, Sun-tzu's classic work, as translator Ralph Sawyer ably demonstrates, is best understood in the context for which it was originally created. This new translation, therefore, distinguishes itself from many of its predecessors by its insistence that The Art of War is, first and foremost, a work of military strategy. This edition, designed to satisfy the needs of both the general reader and the reader with a wider grasp of Asian and military history, features:
-- A detailed introduction and commentary on the elusive Sun-tzu-- An extensive overview of the history of Chinese warfare and military thought, including references to the six less well-known classics of Chinese military strategy
-- Special sections devoted to the Chinese use of chariots, horse and cavalry, armor and shields, and swords, accompanied by notes on Chinese military organization-- A glossary for readers of Asian languages, as well as battle diagrams to help readers visualize the historic military encounters discussed in the book
