The Art of War

Written over two thousand years ago, Sun Tzu's The Art of War remains the most influential text on strategy and conflict ever written. Moving beyond the battlefield, its principles apply to business competition, negotiation, leadership, and any domain where outcomes depend on reading the terrain and outthinking an opponent. This edition preserves Lionel Giles's classic 1910 translation, which has introduced generations of English readers to the clarity and depth of Sun Tzu's thinking.
