Plt;iPgt;Plt;bPgt;The Definitive Translation with Over Two Million Copies SoldPlt;/bPgt;Plt;/iPgt;Plt;brPgt;Plt;bPgt;Plt;brPgt;Plt;/bPgt;Plt;brPgt;Plt;bPgt;The most prestigious and influential book on strategy and dealing with conflict, beautifully translated for clear, accessible readingP#8212;including commentaries by other ancient Chinese philosophers and strategists.Plt;/bPgt;Plt;brPgt;Plt;brPgt; From esteemed translator Thomas Cleary and including commentary from philosophers such as Cao Cao, Du Mu, and Du You, this timeless Chinese classic captures the essence of military strategy used in ancient East Asia, with lessons on how to handle conflict confidently, efficiently, and successfully. As Sun Tzu teaches, aggression and response in kind can lead only to destructionP#8212;we must learn to work with conflict in a more profound and effective way. Crucial to this strategic vision is knowledgeP#8212;especially self-knowledgeP#8212;and a view of the whole that seeks to bring the conflicting ideas around to a larger perspective.P#160;P#160;Plt;brPgt;Plt;brPgt;The techniques and instructions discussed in Plt;iPgt;The Art of WarPlt;/iPgt; apply to competition and conflict on every level, from the interpersonal to the international. A study of the anatomy of forces in conflict, it has been discovered by modern businesspeople who understand the principles it contains are as useful for understanding the interactions of modern corporations as they are for understanding the tactics of ancient Chinese armies.P#160; Its aim is invincibility, victory without battle, and unassailable strength through an understanding of the physics, politics, and psychology of conflict.P#160;P#160;Plt;brPgt;Plt;brPgt;Thomas ClearyP#8217;s translation is a breakthrough achievement that has been a gold standard among translations for three decades, offering the complete text in eminently readable prose with short commentaries by other ancient Chinese strategists and philosophers interwoven throughout. ClearyP#8217;s work allows innumerable insights to be discovered through this translation millennia after this oral teaching was first set down.
