The "Art of War "is almost certainly the most famous study of
strategy ever written and has had an extraordinary influence on the
history of warfare. The principles Sun-tzu expounded were utilized
brilliantly by such great Asian war leaders as Mao Tse-tung, Giap,
and Yamamoto. First translated two hundred years ago by a French
missionary, Sun-tzu's "Art of War" has been credited with
influencing Napoleon, the German General Staff, and even the
planning for Desert Storm. Many Japanese companies make this book
required reading for their key executives. And increasingly,
Western businesspeople and others are turning to the "Art of War"
for inspiration and advice on how to succeed in competitive
situations of all kinds. Unlike most editions of Sun-tzu currently
available (many simply retreads of older, flawed translations),
this superb new translation makes use of the best available
classical Chinese manuscripts, including the ancient "tomb text"
version discovered by archaeologists at Linyi, China. Ralph Sawyer,
an outstanding Western scholar of ancient Chinese warfare and a
successful businessman in his own right, places this classic work
of strategy in its proper historical context. Sawyer supplies a
portrait of Sun-tzu's era and outlines several battles of the
period that may have either influenced Sun-tzu or been conducted by
him. While appreciative of the philosophical richness of the "Art
of War," this edition stresses Sun-tzu's practical origins and
presents a translation that is both accurate and accessible.
