Sun Tzus Art of War is the most famous, and the most thought-provoking, work of strategy ever written. The profound insights of this book have endured for over two thousand years, and they continue to reward careful study. The Military Methods of Sun Pin, the great-grandson of Sun Tzu, is a brilliant elaboration on his ancestors work, which has been lost for nearly two millennia. Presented here together for the first time are the greatest of the ancient Chinese classics of strategic thought: The Complete Art of War. The Sun family writings on strategy represent a unique contribution to our understanding of human affairs. By unveiling the complex, often unexpected, interrelationships of armies locked in battle, their wisdom reveals the enduring principles of success in the struggle of life itself. With a unique index to the essential principles of strategy, and Sawyers thoughtful chapter-by-chapter commentaries, The Complete Art of War is designed to guide the reader to new insights into the nature of human conflict and a greater understanding of every field of human activity, from playing the game of politics to building a successful marriage, from closing a deal to managing a large organization, and even from making war to making peace. |

A beautifully presented, beautifully translated & accurate representation of the classical text Sun Tzu's Art Of War, Covers all thirteen chapters & includes additional input from Sun Pin (traditionally prenounced Sun Bin, Believed to be a descendant of Sun Tzu)
All Pages have a textured 'Old' feel to them (pages are not yellow however!!), Simply a beautiful book to read, definitely recommended for scholars, soldiers
or anyone simply looking for a way to 'know the enemy' and to truly understand how any kind of battle works!

This is a great book. It combines the original work of Sun Tzu with the more recent work of his descendant Xun Pin. A fascinating read for anyone interested in the basics of military strategy.
