A classic collection the Art of War and other Chinese military texts, beautifully presented with a striking, foil-embossed cover design.
Written between 500 BCE and 700 CE, these seven texts have inspired
generals for millennia, both in China and the wider world. These seven texts display an
understanding of strategy and warfare still relevant more than 2,000
years after they were originally written. Together, they present a
uniquely eastern tradition of warfare that emphasizes speed, stealth,
and cunning.
This collection includes seven of the most famous military texts of ancient China: The Art of War, Wuzi, Wei Liaozi, Taigong's Six Secret Teachings, The Methods of the Sima, Three Strategies of Huang Shigong, and Questions and Replies Between Emperor Taizong of Tang and General Li Jing.
These
new translations bring to light several texts that display an
understanding of strategy and warfare that still has relevance millennia
after their original publication. From the 11th-century AD onward,
these texts became required reading for Chinese military officers.
