Summary

The most accessible edition of Sun Tzu’s military strategy treatise, The Art of War—perfect for martial arts enthusiasts and anyone looking to enhance their leadership and strategic thinking skills.

This step-by-step guide breaks down the original Art of War into 200 digestible lessons that will help you get a competitive edge in all your endeavors.

Composed in the 5th century BC, Sun Tzu's Art of War is the earliest-known treatise on military strategy, and is still hugely popular around the world for its perceptive tactical advice to commanders on how to win at war with minimal bloodshed.

Aimed at all those who want to study the text in depth, this is the first step-by-step guide to the famous treatise. It breaks down the 13 chapters of the original into 200 easily digested lessons, including:
 
Do not press a desperate enemy
Control your troops through bond of loyalty
When you are weak, beware attack
 
Each lesson is accompanied by comprehensive commentary and clarified with around 250 illustrations.

This ultimate guide to Art of War includes the classic 1910 translation by Lionel Giles and commentary that takes into account all academic interpretations of the text, highlighting differences between modern translations as well as the perspectives of historical Chinese commentators. No other edition compares and contrasts the viewpoints of different contemporary translators, or explains exactly what each section of this often enigmatic text actually means.
