Summary
Summary
This Chinese treatise on war was written by Sun Tzu in the 6th century B.C. Each one of the 13 chapters is devoted to a different aspect of warfare, making it the definitive work on military strategies and tactics of its time. Studied by generals from Napoleon to Rommel, it is still one of the most influential works on the subject and is required reading in most military academies around the world. Although it was meant to be a practical guide to warfare in the age of chariots, this seminal work on the philosophy of successful leadership is as applicable to contemporary business as it is to war, and has become increasingly popular among today's corporate and political leaders.Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“The most useful and important book ever written for aspiring leaders.”

“The Art of War is undisputedly one of the bestselling leadership books of all time…This message of victory without aggression still resonates with how we conduct all aspect of our lives today.”
—Publishers Weekly
“As a reflection of the Chinese mind, this little work is as relevant as any Confucian classic.”
—Times (London)
“A brief tract on strategy that has been admired in China for centuries. Some of Mao Tse Tung’s most eloquent thoughts are merely rehashes of Sun-tzu and his interpreters.”
—Los Angeles Herald Examiner
