Description
“If you know your enemies and know yourself, you can win numerous battles without a single loss.” Written in the 6th century BC, Sun Tzu’s The Art of War remains a book of military strategy and has inspired figures including Napoleon, Mao Zedong and Douglas MacArthur. Beyond warfare, its ideas have also been applied to politics, business and corporate strategy. This illustrated dual-language edition presents the original Chinese characters alongside James Trapp’s translation and examines Sun Tzu’s ideas through history. Each of the 13 chapters includes a new commentary showing how his wisdom has been borne out on battlefields around the world, from the impact of spies on the course of a battle to the importance of terrain in conflict. Battles from the ancient world to the 20th century are illustrated with colour maps, paintings and other artworks, creating an expanded edition of a classic text that has influenced leaders for millennia.
