TOP 5 ART OF WAR QUOTES
1. "Know your enemy and know yourself, win without danger."
2. "Knowing when to do battle and when not to do battle brings
victory."
3. "Those skilled at making war subdue another 's army without
battle, overcome another 's walled cities without attack, overthrow
another 's kingdom without delay."
4. "Those who forego contemplation, merely expecting an enemy to
be easy, will be captured by him."
5. "When doing battle, prizing victories that take too long
dulls weapons and grinds down spirits."
From business to politics to sports, the Art of War is as timely
for leaders today as it was for military strategists in ancient
China: strategy, negotiation, management, analysis, psychology,
logistics, risk, conflict -- everyone from Secretary of State Colin
Powell to influential tech CEO Larry Ellison to NBA super-coach
Phil Jackson has profited from the timeless wisdom of Sun Tzu's
classic.
This special pocket edition of Sun Tzu's Original Art of War
uses the most recent archaeological and academic research to
recover the original Chinese text and faithfully recreate it in
English, avoiding the unnecessary wordiness and inaccurate
abstractions of other English translations.
"The Art of War is among the greatest classics of military
literature ever written. Sun Tzu warfare is as applicable today as
when the book was written some 2,500 years ago.... Pick up The Art
of War and read it." General A.M. Gray, Marine Corps Gazette
"When the Japanese, especially those in business, want
information on the subject, many turn to an ancient Chinese, not
Japanese, military manual, The Art of War.... Shows managers how to
be fearless in resolving conflicts." Boardroom Reports
"Unlike most of the more wordy and interpretive translations of
the Sun Tzu, Andrew Zieger gives us a unique bare bones rendering
of this canonical text a series of word pictures that, in applying
his own image-to-image technique, captures the poetically laconic
force of the original. In this rendering, the Sun Tzu has not
needed to surrender the beauty of its language for the victorious
expression of its meaning." Roger T. Ames, Leading scholar in
ancient Chinese literature and translator of "Sun Tzu: The Art of
Warfare" (1993)
"A highly accessible rendering of the influential work of
military theory. Successfully evokes the careful, meditative
response Sun- Tzu recommends to would be war-makers. Of use to
anyone engaged in competitive endeavors, be they on the battlefield
or at the poker table." Martin Harris, Poker journalist and author
of the novel Same Difference (2010)
