If you know your enemies and know yourself, you can win numerous
battles without a single loss. - Sun Tzu, The Art of War Written in
the 6th century BC, Sun Tzu's The Art of War is still used as a
book of military strategy today. Napoleon, Mae Zedong and Douglas
MacArthur all claimed to have drawn inspiration from it. And beyond
the world of war, modern-era business and management gurus have
also applied Sun Tzu's ideas to politics and corporate strategy.
This illustrated dual-language edition not only presents the
original Chinese characters with James Trapp's translation on the
facing page, it also tests Sun Tzu's ideas against history. Each of
the 13 chapters includes a new commentary giving examples of how
Sun Tzu's wisdom has been borne out on the world's battlefields.
When, for example, has information provided by spies changed the
course of a battle? How has history shown Sun Tzu's ideas on the
importance of terrain in conflict to be true? And where can we best
find examples of strategic warfare being waged? From the ancient
world to the 20th century, the battles featured will be illustrated
with colour battle maps, paintings and artworks. Of immense
influence to leaders across millennia, The Art of War Illustrated
is a classic text richly deserving this illustrated and expanded
dual-language edition.
