A fascinating historical document that sheds light on ancient warfare, it is also a profound meditation on human psychology, interrogating the subjects of leadership, self-discipline and self-awareness. This new edition of the classic work is specially designed for modern readers. It includes an insightful introduction to the historical and philosophical context, and is accompanied by explanation and analysis of how Sun Tzu's lessons have been applied in some of the world's most famous battles. Renowned strategists from Field Marshal Montgomery to General Schwarzkopf have cited the book as an inspiration. The ancient text, attributed to Sun Tzu, is divided into 13 chapters that provide a logical and strategic approach to conflict and competition. Each focuses on a different aspect of warfare, including the importance of planning, managing your forces, decision-making, knowing your strengths and weaknesses, the art of deception and understanding the power of information. 546 $a Translated from the Chinese. 650 0 $a Military art and science $v Early works to 1800. 650 0 $a Strategy $v Early works to 1800. 650 0 $a Leadership $v Early works to 1800. 650 0 $a War $v Early works to 1800. 700 1 $a Tucker-Jones, Anthony, $e editor. 700 1 $a Giles, Lionel, $d 1875-1958, $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240305042909.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=45B24346447311EDBB956A3F21ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
