First Published in 2005. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &
Francis, an informa company.
"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.

Featuring the Chinese text on the left and the English translation
on the right, this beautifully bound edition of Sun Tzu's classic
text makes a unique gift or collector's item. Written in the sixth
century BCE, Sun Tzu's The Art of War is still widely read and
consulted today for its timeless, piercing insights into strategy
and tactics. Napoleon, Mao Zedong, General Vo Nguyen Giap, and
General Douglas MacArthur all claimed to have drawn inspiration
from it. Beyond the world of war, business and management gurus
have also applied Sun Tzu's ideas to office politics and corporate
strategy. This edition of The Art of War is printed on high-quality
paper and bound by traditional Chinese book-making techniques. It
contains the full 13 chapters on such topics as laying plans,
attacking by stratagem, weaponry, terrain, and the use of spies.
Sun Tzu addresses different campaign situations, marching, energy,
and how to exploit your enemy's weaknesses. This edition is an
essential addition to any library, whether you're fascinated by the
philosophy of warfare, Chinese history, or even
twenty-first-century business.
