The Way of War. Chinese Strategy Manual

Book excerpt: For the first time in the English language a comprehensive collection of the classical Chinese military maxims, sourced from the wide selection of relevant texts, both well-known and obscure, on a basis of practical modern-day usage, is presented in a straightforward and logically consistent form. The jewels of tactical and strategic thought, tested by some three thousand years of experience and still inexhaustible, are now available to be consulted in private life, business or indeed anywhere.
