These terse, aphoristic essays are unsurpassed in comprehensiveness and depth of understanding, examining not only battlefield maneuvers, but also relevant economic, political, and psychological factors. Indeed, the precepts outlined by Sun Tzu can be applied outside the realm of military theory. It is read avidly by Japanese businessmen and in fact was touted in the movie Wall Street as the corporate raider's bible.In addition to an excellent translation of Sun Tzu's text, Samuel Griffith also provides commentaries written by Chinese strategists, plus several thought-provoking essays on topics such as the influence of Sun Tzu on Mao Tse-tung and on Japanese military thought, the nature of warfare in Sun Tzu's time, and the life of Sun Tzu and other important commentators. Remarkable for its clear organization, lucid prose, and the acuity of its intellectual and moral insights, The Art of War is the definitive study of combat. 000327012 650_0 $$aMilitary art and science$$vEarly works to 1800. 000327012 7001_ $$aGriffith, Samuel B. 000327012 85200 $$bgen$$hU101$$i.S95$$i1963a 000327012 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0603/65008619-d.html 000327012 85642 $$3Contributor biographical information$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0725/65008619-b.html 000327012 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:327012$$pGLOBAL_SET 000327012 980__ $$aBIB 000327012 980__ $$aBOOK
