One of the most influential military texts ever written, The Art of War presents Sun Tzu's timeless principles of strategy, leadership, intelligence gathering and warfare. This celebrated translation by Samuel B. Griffith was among the first major scholarly English editions and remains highly regarded for its accuracy, extensive commentary and historical context.
The volume includes an introduction discussing the life and times of Sun Tzu, the Warring States period, and the enduring influence of the work on military thought. Griffith's translation is complemented by explanatory notes, maps and illustrations, while the foreword by the distinguished military historian Captain B. H. Liddell Hart places the text within the wider tradition of strategic studies.
An important edition for collectors of military history, strategy, Chinese history and classic military literature.
