The Art of War"The art of war is of vital importance to the State," writes General Sun Tzu at the outset of one of the most important miltary treatises ever written. Within these pages, Suz Tsu explores: the five fundamental facets of war and the seven elements that determine outcomes. Limiting the cost of conflict. The importance of unity, discipline, and alliances. Strategic defense and the recognition of offesnive opportunities. Flexibility in responding to changing circumstances. The five sources of intelligence and how to use them. As notable for its insights into motivating people and knowing one's opponent as for its emphasis on preparedness, felixibilty, and understanding the environment, The art of war has become an important resource for modern business people, trial lawyers, and sports teams - as well as for military leaders. The edition features the classic translation of Lionel Giles. |
