Description
Written approximately twenty-five hundred years ago, in a time of political turbulence and great military activity, Sun Tzus 'Art of Warfare' has exerted an extraordinary influence on the modern world. People of all persuasions have found inspiration and sound, practical guidance here for any number of activities that require strategy, from sports and normal business affairs to affairs of the heart. They have found the courage to view the world in which they live and work as a network of actual and potential combat zones, where the stakes are high and struggle is the primary mode of being where no one is to be trusted and survival depends on unconditional victory. Like the oriental martial arts, The Art of Warfare emphasizes adaptability and flow. The first move is always the opponent's, telling us everything we need to know about his or her other strengths and weaknesses. This comprehensive translation includes additional chapters from archaeological finds of Yin-ch'üeh-shan as well as passages frorn various sources where the name of Sun Tsu figures.
