Written in the 6th century BC, Sun Tzus "The Art of War" is still used as a book of military strategy today. Napoleon, Mao Zedong, and Douglas MacArthur all claimed to have drawn inspiration from it. And beyond the world of war, modern-era business and management gurus have also applied Sun Tzus ideas to politics and corporate strategy. This pocket illustrated dual-language edition not only presents the original Chinese characters with James Trapps translation on the facing page, but also tests Sun Tzus ideas against history.
Each of the 13 chapters includes a new commentary giving examples of how Sun Tzus wisdom has been borne out on the worlds battlefields. When, for example, has information provided by spies changed the course of a battle? How has history shown Sun Tzus ideas on the importance of terrain in conflict to be true? Of immense influence on leaders across millennia, "The Art of War" is a classic text richly deserving this illustrated and expanded dual-language edition.
