The Art of War

"He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight." This aphorism is one of many sage sayings put down by Chinese tactician and philosopher Sun Tzu in The Art of War, the seminal military treatise completed between the third and fifth centuries B.C. For more than two thousand years, Sun Tzu's timeless book has provided warring sides with strategies for winning conflicts. It has become indispensible reading not only for the military, but for businessmen, athletes, and anyone engaged in a struggle who wishes to outwit an opponent.

This elegant gift edition of The Art of War from Fall River Press features Lionel Giles' classic translation of Sun Tzu's text and presents it in two different formats: with Giles' extensive annotations and commentary on Sun Tzu's aphorisms and proverbs, and without. Long regarded a classic work of Eastern philosophy, The Art of War is a signature volume for any home library.
