Capturing the literary quality of "The Art of War", this book presents the core text in two different formats. It allows readers to form their own first impressions of the ancient words of wisdom ascribed to Sun-tzu. It includes an introduction, chronologies, suggested readings, and other apparatus.
"The strategic advice that [The Art of War] offers concerns much more than the conduct of war. It is an ancient book of proverbial wisdom, a book of life." —John Minford, from the Introduction
