The Art of War

Sun Tzu said: "Let your plans be dark & impenetrable as night, & when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.' Written around the 6th century BC, The Art of War is one of the oldest books about war & military strategy, & probably the best. Above all, it teaches you how, when the battle commences, to think on your feet & catch your enemy off guard. This book first found a European audience when it was translated into French in 1782 & since then its readers have included Napoleon, General MacArthur, Montgomery, Mao Zedong & General Paul K. Van Riper, who helped plan Operations Desert Shield & Desert Storm. The lessons of The Art of War still apply & its ancient wisdom shows you how to secure your objectives in business, sport & other areas of modern life. This beautiful collector's edition features authentic illustrations & is ideal for anyone who wants to outthink & outflank the opposition.
