For more than two thousand years, The Art of War has provided leaders with essential tactical and management advice. An elemental part of Chinese culture, it has also become a touchstone in the West for achieving success, whether on the battlefield or in business. This Vintage Classics edition features a brilliant translation by Peter Harris, first published by Everyman's Library in 2018. Alongside the pithy and powerful ancient text, Harris includes:
--Notes
--A bibliography
--A chronology of Chinese dynasties
--A map
--Extracts from the canon of classical Chinese commentators
--An illuminating introduction on the warrior-philosopher Sun Tzu and the role of The Art of War in history and today
