Kurzbeschreibung
This collectible edition of "The Art of War by Sun Tzu" presents these timeless instructions regarding military strategy and managing conflict in two complete versions, with over 260 pages of content.
A modern introduction, tracing the origins of "The Art of War" and its historical and cultural importance, firmly grounds the reader in the context with which the oldest book on military strategy has survived the ages, as well as contemporary examples of its continued use.
The first section of this collectible edition contains "The Art of War" in English, without notes or commentary. This allows the reader to understand the teachings of Sun Tzu, without the distraction of footnotes or excessive comments. This newly revised Giles-Williams translation is succinct, very easy to read, and without the errors found in other incomplete versions.
The second section contains the complete annotated translation by Lionel Giles, restored by Sian Kim, along with Giles' translation notes, definitive critical commentary, and supplemental information from a broad range of sources. Written during the Victorian era, Giles' 1910 "Introduction" has also been included, containing the legend of "Sun Tzu and The Army of Concubines".
Although written in the 6th century BCE, the teachings of Sun Tzu are still found today in the martial arts, legal doctrine, military schools, management seminars and pervasively throughout popular culture.

A True Collectible Edition, Not A Cheap Pocket Book
7. Juni 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
This is the third different edition of The Art of War I have purchased on Amazon. They say the third time is the charm, and in this case, I can't argue with that. The first volume I purchased was the cheap $3.99 version. They also say you get what you pay for. The book was so small, it could fit in my front pocket. The paper was so thin that if you exhale, it might shred. Needless to say, I returned it immediately.
The second book I purchased was the 6.99 edition. This was slightly better, but I found I could not concentrate on the teachings of Sun Tzu, because of the way the translation was presented. Additionally, the book also looked kind of cheap. I wasn't sure I wanted to have it in my library, even if I could get past the questionable presentation of the teachings of Sun Tzu. So, after a few days I returned the $6.99 edition to Amazon.
Upon receiving this edition, I knew immediately that it was more of what I was looking to have, both to read and to add to my library. It's a full-size paperback, not a teeny tiny stocking stuffer. The introduction was very modern, unlike the other 2 books, and it traced the impact this book has had over the centuries. It also contains 2 version of The Art of War, with and without footnotes, making it easy to pick how deep you want to go into the subject matter. I would definitely recommend shelling out a few extra bucks for something you can be proud to have in your library.

Very Pleased!
31. August 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
Who would of thought that war could have such a precise, simplified and honorable step-by-step instruction manual? And that it was written in the 6th century BCE? Sun Tzu's recipe for strategies and engagements is easy to read, with numbered instructions, for just about every war-like situation. And, as the editor points out in the Modern Introduction, these instructions can easily be transferable to the boardroom, sales techniques, athletic endeavors and the like.
I highly recommend "The Art of War", especially for anyone who is interested in the history and the controversy surrounding this man, Sun Tzu and the ancient art of war. The commentary and analysis portion of the book is quite detailed and serves well in taking the reader beyond the simple instructions Sun Tzu describes. I enjoyed it!

Ancient Chinese wisdom still holds true
23. Juli 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It is fascinating how the lessons from the battlefield of strategy and tactics as observed hundreds of years ago by the ancients are now applied to the board room.
What I find incredible about this book is the observations and lessons have been tested over centuries and proven to be true. It is a book for planners, for strategists, for people keen on winning or someone just curious about the ancient wisdom of the great Chinese philosophy.
