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 pocket 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.
