Sun Tzu on the Art of War, translated by the highly respected authority Lionel Giles, unravels the complexities of meaning found in the world's oldest military treatise. In examining the work step-by-step, Giles pays particular attention to the subtleties of the Chinese Characters and the interpretations offered by centuries of informed commentators. Examples from both ancient and modern history bring alive the explanations and illustrate the remarkable timelessness of Sun Tzu's words.
