Book Description
This Special Edition of The Art of War by Sun Tzu presents this timeless classic in two forms: Section I contains the complete thirteen chapters of Sun Tzu's masterpiece in Chinese together with the English translation of Lionel Giles without notes or commentary. This presentation avoids the objection that commentary tends to clutter and obscure the clarity of thought of the ancient military genius. Section II contains the complete translation by Lionel Giles including his extensive introduction and the fully annotated text with explanatory notes and critical commentary. His Introduction includes an historical account of Sun Tzu's work, evaluations by and of early Chinese commentators, an essay examining the traditional Chinese attitudes toward war and a bibliography that details Giles' source materials. The text in this section includes critical commentary and notes by both the Chinese historians as well as by Giles himself. Lionel Giles, as the Keeper of the Department of Oriental printed Books and Manuscripts of the British Museum, was uniquely qualified to translate and explain this great classic Chinese work to Western readers. First published in 1910, Giles' translation is widely considered to be the definitive English version. Other Special Editions in this series which deal with the subject of warfare and strategy include: The Art of War By Mao Tse-tung - Special Edition The Art of War By Baron De Jomini - Special Edition The Art of War & The Prince By Machiavelli - Special Edition

Book Description
"Sun Tzu said: In the practical art of war, the best thing of all is to take the enemy's country whole and intact; to shatter and destroy it is not so good. So, too, it is better to capture an army entire than to destroy it, and to capture a regiment, a detachment or a company entire than to destroy them. Hence to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting." The Art of War III.1, 2.The Art of War is a work of Chinese antiquity on the art of human conflict. It is a widely commentated classic of Chinese civilization and has become widely read outside of Chinese civilization. War was long viewed in Imperial China as an important study for government. Master Sun was one of the pinnacles of the art. To fully understand the operation of classical China, their theory of conflict is worthy of further study.This book is a faithful reproduction of the 1910 edition of Lionel Giles translation of the Art of War by Master Sun. As in the original, it includes the full text in English and classical Chinese along with commentary and analysis of the principles contained. These tie into European and Asian strategic examples are also provided by the translator. The introduction along with full ability to index the Chinese is available to the reader. This edition seeks to get a clean, easy to read, copy of the Art of War with the original Chinese for advanced study.
