About this product
Product Information
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 can be applied outside the realm of military theory. It is read avidly by Japanese businessmen and in fact was touted in the movie Wall Street as the corporate raider's bible. Remarkable for its clear organization, lucid prose, and the acuity of its intellectual and moral insights, The Art of War is the definitive study of combat, indispensable for understanding competition whether on the battlefield or the board room.

Reviews
"Samuel Griffith's original and scholarly translation of The Art of War shows how good scholarship can make an easily readable translation that is much more useful to modern readers."--The Philadelphia Inquirer, "As a reflection of the Chinese mind, this little work is as relevant asany Confucian classic."--The Times (London), "As a reflection of the Chinese mind, this little work is as relevant as any Confucian classic."--The Times (London), "Samuel Griffith's original and scholarly translation of The Art of Warshows how good scholarship can make an easily readable translation that is muchmore useful to modern readers."--The Philadelphia Inquirer, "A brief tract on strategy that has been admired in China for centuries. Some of Mao Tse Tung's most eloquent thoughts are merely rehashes of Sun Tzu and his interpreters."--The Los Angeles Herald Examiner

Book described as "very good" condition however is marked all over (unobtrusively) throughout the pages. This was not noted in the description. However, I don't mind used books that have been written in by previous readers. Most people prefer otherwise, so I recommend being more upfront about if any other books have been marked up. I can only give a positive rating, because the annotations in this book in particular have been kind of cool to follow along with.
