A mini-sized translation of the 2000-year-old Chinese classic on
stategy, whose ideas, which are as applicable to individuals as to
whole armies, are just as relevant today as they were then -
although more often applied to management or politics than to
warfare. There are maxims and analysis on any topic a corporate
warrior could ponder, including strategic assessment, doing battle,
planning a siege, terrain and even the use of spies. A timeless
gem. (Kirkus UK)
Compiled more than 2000 years ago by a warrior-philosopher, this
text still aims to be relevant in modern times as a book of
strategy. A study of the anatomy of organizations in conflict, it
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.;This translation presents the classic from the point of
view of its background in the 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
handbook. Translated from a standard collection of commentaries on
Sun Tzu's text by 11 interpreters, the work has been edited to
bring out the meaning of the principles of strategy. In addition,
the translator provides an introduction discussing the content and
background of the book.
