Featuring the Chinese text on the left and the English translation on the right, this beautifully bound edition of Sun Tzu's classic text makes a unique gift or collector's item. Written in the 6th century BC, Sun Tzu's
The Art of War is
still used as a book of military strategy today. Napoleon, Mao Zedong, General Vo Nguyen Giap, and General Douglas MacArthur all claimed to have drawn inspiration from it. And beyond the world of war, business and management gurus have
also applied Sun Tzu's ideas
to office politics and corporate strategy.
Using
a new translation by James Trapp and including
editorial notes, this edition of
The Art of War is
printed on high-quality paper and
bound by traditional Chinese book-making techniques. It
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.
