Description
Sun Tzu's classic military treatise, The Art of War, has been in use for over twenty-five centuries. Now, translated by R. L. Wing as THE ART OF STRATEGY, the book has again come to life, enhanced by striking calligraphy and a modern perspective.
THE ART OF STRATEGY is a work of subtlety and paradox that shows the way to a clean and aesthetic triumph over life's obstacles. Sun Tzu believed that victory is won long before confrontation and insisted that a skilled warrior observes, calculates, outwits, and outmaneuvers the adversary, and in doing so averts the destruction of battle.
R. L.. Wing translates Sun Tzu's masterpiece into elegant, precise prose, and precedes each chapter with discussions and guidelines for today's readers-whose battlefields are in the office, at home, and in themselves. Sun Tzu's thirteen chapters have been divided into four parts, resulting in fifty-two passages that can be used as weekly worksheets to improve negotiating skills, develop self-discipline, and pinpoint obstacles that block opportunity and fulfillment.
Along with his near contemporaries-Confucius, Buddha, and Plato- Sun Tzu has been honored, translated, and interpreted for thousands of years by scholars and military strategists, but never before has his work been presented in such an appealing, inspirational, and timely way. ISBN:9780385237840
