Here is one of the most insightful texts on the subtle arts of
confrontation and victory to emerge from Asian culture. Written not
only for martial artists but for leaders in all professions, the
book analyzes the process of struggle and mastery over conflict
that underlies every level of human interaction. "The Book of Five
Rings "--which has become a well-known classic among American
business people, studied for its insights into the Japanese
approach to business strategy--was composed in 1643 by the famed
duelist and undefeated samurai Miyamoto Musashi. Unlike previous
editions of "The Book of Five Rings," Thomas Cleary's is an
accessible translation, free of jargon, with an introduction that
presents the spiritual background of the warrior tradition. Along
with Musashi's text, Cleary translates another important Japanese
classic on leadership and strategy: "The Book of Family Traditions
on the Art of War" by Yagyu Munenori, which highlights the ethical
and spiritual insights of Taoism and Zen as they apply to the way
of the warrior.
