The Art of War

More than 2,000 years old, this classic of Chinese philosophy lays out a systematic, rational approach to tactics and strategy that leaders worldwide have applied not only to the military, but also to business, law, martial arts, and sports. This elegant edition uses Lionel Giles's classic translation and stands apart for its gorgeous design, and Giles's extensive annotations and commentary on Sun Tzu's aphorisms and proverbs are also included.
