<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The timeless wisdom of Sun Tzu's "The Art of War" is as effective in the modern boardroom as it was on the ancient battlefield, providing simple strategies for success and victory. Includes commentary and historical notes from the translator.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The world's most famous military treatise, in an acclaimed translation by the award-winning translator of the <i>Tao Te Ching </i>and the <i>I Ching</i></b> <p/> For more than two thousand years, Sun-tzu's <i>The Art of War</i> 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 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. <p/>For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,800 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>The strategic advice that [<i>The Art of War</i>] offers concerns much more than the conduct of war.
