Description

Featuring the Chinese text on the left and the English translation on the right, this beautiful edition of Sun Tzu’s classic text makes a unique gift or collector's item.

Written in the sixth century BCE, Sun Tzu’s The Art of War is still widely read and consulted today for its timeless, piercing insights into strategy and tactics. Napoleon, Mao Zedong, General Vo Nguyen Giap, and General Douglas MacArthur all claimed to have drawn inspiration from it. Beyond the world of war, business and management gurus have also applied Sun Tzu’s ideas to office politics and corporate strategy.

This elegantly designed edition of The Art of War contains the full 13 chapters on such topics as laying plans, attacking by stratagem, weaponry, terrain, and the use of spies. Sun Tzu addresses different campaign situations, marching, energy, and how to exploit your enemy's weaknesses.

This edition is an essential addition to any library, whether you’re fascinated by the philosophy of warfare, Chinese history, or even twenty-first-century business.
