EBOOK Art of War

Like Machiavelli's The Prince and the Japanese Book of Five Rings, Sun Tzu's The        Art of War is as timely for business people today as it was for military strategists        in ancient China. Written in China more than 2,000 years ago, Sun Tzu's classic The        Art of War is the first known study of the planning and conduct of military        operations. These terse, aphoristic essays are unsurpassed in comprehensiveness and        depth of understanding, examining not only battlefield maneuvers, but also relevant        economic, political, and psychological factors. Indeed, the precepts outlined by Sun        Tzu regularly applied outside the realm of military theory. It is read avidly by        Japanese businessmen and was touted in the movie Wall Street as the corporate        raider's bible.Providing a much-needed translation of this classic, Samuel Griffith        has made this powerful and unique work even more relevant to the modern world.          Including an explanatory introduction and selected commentaries on the work, this        edition makes Sun Tzu's timeless classic perfectly accessible to modern        readers.
