Description

Knowing when to act—and when to wait—is central to Sun Tzu’s The Art of War. This enduring Chinese military classic examines preparation, intelligence, discipline, adaptability, and the advantages of achieving an objective without unnecessary conflict.

Ralph D. Sawyer’s translation includes introductions and commentary that place the text within the history of ancient Chinese warfare. That context gives substance to its familiar maxims, allowing readers to explore the reasoning behind Sun Tzu’s observations on leadership and strategy.

This Barnes & Noble hardcover edition features a striking red-and-gold dust jacket, protected in Brodart.
