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. In addition to an excellent translation of Sun Tzu's text, Samuel Griffith also provides commentaries written by Chinese strategists, plus several thought-provoking essays on topics such as the influence of Sun Tzu on Mao Tse-tung and on Japanese military thought, the nature of warfare in Sun Tzu's time, and the life of Sun Tzu and other important commentators. 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.

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

The seller was very upfront about the item and answered any questions I had. The seller was having an issue with getting a shipper from UShip so we said that we would give it a shot and we found someone that was in that area heading back to Ohio that picked it up for us. The seller let us know along with the shipper that our item was on the way. Thank you
