Paperback. Condition: Fair. For more than two thousand years, Sun-tzu's The Art of War has provided leaders with essential advice on battlefield tactics and management strategies. An elemental part of Chinese culture, it has also become a touchstone for the Western struggle for survival and success, whether in battle, in business, or in relationships. Now, in this crisp, accessible new translation, eminent scholar John Minford brings this seminal work to life for today's readers. Capturing the literary quality of the work, Minford presents the core text in two formats: first, the unadorned ancient words of wisdom ascribed to Sun-tzu; then, the same text with extensive running commentary from the canon of traditional Chinese commentators. A lively, learned introduction and other valuable apparatus round out this authoritative volume. …

Paperback. Condition: Fair. Like Machiavelli's The Prince and the Japanese Book of Five Rings, Sun Tzu's The Art of War is as timely for business people today as it was for military strategists in ancient China. 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 regularly applied outside the realm of military theory. It is read avidly by Japanese businessmen and was touted in the movie Wall Street as the corporate raider's bible. Providing a much-needed translation of this classic, Samuel Griffith has made this powerful and unique work even more relevant to the modern world. Including an explanatory introduction and selected commentaries on the work, this edition makes Sun Tzu's timeless classic perfectly accessible to modern readers.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Two classicworksof military strategy that shaped the way we think about warfare:The Art of Warby Sun Tzu andOn Warby Karl von Clausewitz, together in one volume "Civilization might have been spared much of the damage suffered in the world wars . . . if the influence of Clausewitz'sOn Warhad been blended with and balanced by a knowledge of Sun Tzu'sThe Art of War."-B. H. Liddel Hart For two thousand years, Sun Tzu'sThe Art of Warhas been the indispensable volume of warcraft. Although his work is the first known analysis of war and warfare, Sun Tzu struck upon a thoroughly modern concept: "The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting." Karl von Clausewitz, the canny military theorist who famously declared that war is a continuation of politics by other means, also claims paternity of the notion "total war."On Waris the magnum opus of the era of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic wars. Now these two greatmindscome together in asingle volumethat also features an introduction by esteemed military writer Ralph Petersand the Modern Library War Series introduction by Caleb Carr,New York Timesbestselling author ofThe Alienist.

Paperback. Condition: Good. Previous translations of The Art of War have presented Sun Tzu's classic from the point of view of military strategy, Chinese history, or Taoist philosophy. This translation-accompanied by the translators' in-depth essays and illuminating line-by-line commentary-offers a fresh perspective on this ancient Chinese text. Here, Sun Tzu's strategic principles of warfare (based as they were on the fundamental insights of the Chinese spiritual and philosophical tradition) are seen as universally relevant-the foundation for personal transformation and the creation of an enlightened society. In this translation of The Art of War , Sun Tzu's teachings are revealed in an entirely new light. . War is any situation that demands hard choices about creation and destruction, life or death. . The state is the system in which we live-our household, our culture or society, or our own mind. . Defense ensures the integrity of our boundaries and allows life to flourish within them. . Force is the energy of concentrated action. . Victory lies in bringing others around to embracing a larger view-one that includes their own-without ever going to battle.…
