PENGUIN CLASSICS THE ART OF WAR - SUN TSU GEB...

For more than 2 000 years  Sun Tzu's The Art of War has provided leaders with essential advice
on battlefield tactics  managing troops and terrain  and employing cunning and deception. An
elemental part of Chinese culture  it has also become a touchstone for the Western struggle for
survival and success  whether in battle  in business or in relationships. Now  in this crisp 
accessible new translation  John Minford brings this seminal work to life for today's readers.
A lively  learned introduction  chronologies and suggested further reading are among the
valuable apparatus included in this authoritative volume. Even those readers familiar with The
Art of War will experience it anew  finding it more fascinating - and more chilling - than
ever. Little is known about Sun Tzu (544-496 B.C.) and his life during the Warring States
period after the decline of the Zhou dysnasty  but his classic  The Art of War  has been one of
the central works of Chinese literature for 2500 years.
