The Art of War

By
Sun Tzu
Oxford University Press
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.
