<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This new translation of the Chinese masterpiece of military strategy helps readers apply the principles of military victory to relationships in their own lives and teaches how to bring about the desired outcome in all the challenges of life.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Compiled more than two thousand years ago by a mysterious warrior-philosopher, <i>The Art of War </i> is still perhaps the most prestigious and influential book of strategy in the world today, as eagerly studied in Asia by modern politicians and executives as it as been by military leaders since ancient times. As a study of the anatomy of organizations in conflict, <i>The Art of War </i>applies to competition and conflict in general, on every level from the interpersonal to the international. Its aim is invincibility, victory without battle, and unassailable strength through understanding of the physics, politics, and psychology of conflict. <p/>This translation presents the classic from the point of view of its background in the great spiritual tradition of Taoism, the origin of psychology, science, and technology in East Asia and the source of the insights into human nature that underlie this most revered of handbooks for success. Translated from a standard collection of commentaries on Sun Tzu's text by eleven interpreters, the work has been edited by Thomas Cleary to bring out the meaning of the principles of strategy. In addition, the translator provides an extensive introduction discussing the content and background of the book.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Thomas Cleary's translation of Sun Tzu's 2,000-year-old <i>The Art of War </i> makes immediately relevant one of the greatest Chinese classical texts. There's not a dated maxim or vague prescription in it. 'To win without fighting is best, ' Sun Tzu said. For him, war was coeval with life. Absorb this book, and you can throw out all those contemporary books about management leadership.-- <i>Newsweek</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>The warrior-philosopher and master strategist Sun Tzu, about whom little is known, compiled <i>The Art of War </i> more than two thousand years ago. Legend has it that he was known for the brilliant campaigns he led around the time of Confucius. His work was memorized and passed down orally, before eventually being copied onto bamboo strips and passed around.
