| Abstract |
"The Norton Critical Edition of The Art of War features an annotated translation by Michael Nylan of the classic Chinese text (mis) ascribed by Sun Tzu (aka Sun Wu, or Sunzi in pinyin), plus an "Interpretations" section featuring seven essays designed to fit that work into its historical contexts, past and present, East and West. As this ancient treatise focuses on strategies, training and discipline, as well as the broader philosophy of conflict resolution and building trust, The Art of War for millennia has not only served as a military classic, but also a classic (much as Thucydides does within Western tradition). Suggested Readings and selected bibliographies are also included"-- Provided by publisher. |
