"He will win who knows when to fight -- and when not to fight."
This is the classic translation of the Chinese military
masterpiece, and it remains the best as it preserves the character
and nuances of the Chinese original. An inspiration for Mao Tse
Tung and countless generations of military leaders, it was written
in antiquity and consists of thirteen chapters that reflect the
mind of a born strategist and practical soldier whose maxims, full
of acuteness and common sense, relate as much to the present day as
they do to the military conditions of the time in which they were
written. Preceded by critical notes on Sun Tzu and his work and
including key Chinese characters, chapters are devoted to laying
plans; waging war; attack by strategem, tactical dispositions,
energy, weak points, and strong; maneuvering; variation of tactics;
the army on the march; terrain; the nine situations; attack by
fire; and the use of spies. The book also contains an extensive
index. As useful in the pursuit of success in modern business as it
was in ancient warfare, this volume also relates to all aspects of
personal and everyday life in which you must either be a winner or
a loser.
According to Chinese tradition, Lao Tzu lived in the 6th century
BCE. Lao Tzu was a central figure in Chinese culture, and is widely
considered the Father of taoism, and author of the Tao Te Ching.
This book is a compliation of Lao Tzus most seminal philosophies,
translated directly from the ancient Chinese texts by Lionel Giles,
prominent Asian Studies scholar, and former assistant at the
British Museum.
