Aimed at all those who want to study the text in depth, this is the first step-by-step guide to the famous treatise, breaking down the 13 chapters of the original into 200 easily digested lessons, from 'do not press a desperate enemy' to 'control your troops through bond of loyalty' to 'when you are weak, beware attack', all accompanied by comprehensive commentary and clarified with around 250 illustrations. Making the lessons even more memorable and easy to understand, the black/red illustrations include strategic diagrams, evocative line drawings and beautiful calligraphy. Includes the classic 1910 translation by Lionel Giles and commentary that takes into account all academic interpretations of the text, highlighting differences between modern translations as well as the perspectives of historical Chinese commentators. No other edition compares and contrasts the viewpoints of different contemporary translators, or explains exactly what each section of this often enigmatic text actually means. 546 $a Translated from the Chinese. 600 00 $a Sunzi, $d active 6th century B.C. $t Sunzi bing fa $v Pictorial works. 650 0 $a Military art and science $z China $v Early works to 1800 650 0 $a Military art and science $z China $v Pictorial works. 700 0 $a Sunzi, $d active 6th century B.C. $t Sunzi bing fa 700 1 $a Giles, Lionel, $d 1875-1958, $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20200724011745.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=06021D12CD7311EABC1FA90E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
