The Complete Art of War: Sun Tzu/Sun Pin » (1st Edition)

Ralph D. Sawyer, one of America’s leading scholars in Chinese warfare, has worked extensively with major intelligence and defense agencies. After studying at MIT and Harvard and a brief stint of university teaching, Sawyer has spent the past thirty years lecturing and doing international consulting work focused on China.

This book is the only single-volume edition available of the classic essays on strategy by the great Sun Tzu and his descendant, Sun Pin, translated by the world’s foremost authority on ancient Chinese strategic thought. With Sawyer’s thoughtful chapter-by-chapter commentaries, The Complete Art of War is designed to guide the reader to new insights into the nature of human conflict and a greater understanding of every field of human activity—from playing the game of politics to building a successful marriage, from closing a deal to managing a large organization, and even from making war to making peace.
