Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. The book offers the vast vista of warfare as covered by The Arthasastra, highlighting relevance to modern times. It discusses the Strategic Symbiosis between the percepts of Kautilya and the other great masters Sun Tzu, Carl von Clausewitz and Captain BH Liddell Hart. It looks at India's wars post Independence through the prism of The Arthasastra. The End notes help the reader relate Kautilya's precepts with examples from wars over the ages. Finally it distils some dictums. The relevant portions/complete text of The Arthasastra with annotations and commentary have been included not only to give the reader a look at the amazing depth and detail with which Kautilya deals with each aspect of Governance and war, but also to provide the true flavour of his writings, without which one cannot truly appreciate and understand Kautilya's genius.
