The Art of War is among the greatest classics of military literature ever written. Sun Tzu warfare is as applicable today as when the book was written some 2,500 years ago....Pick up The Art of War and read it. --General A.M. Gray, Marine Corps Gazette


As a reflection of the Chinese mind, this little work is as relevant as any Confucian classic. --The Times (London)


Westerners have dozens of books to choose from if they want to learn about Japanese philosophy and military tactics....But when the Japanese, especially those in business, want information on the subject, many turn to an ancient Chinese, not Japanese, military manual, The Art of War....Shows managers how to be fearless in resolving conflicts. --Boardroom Reports


Shows managers how to be fearless in resolving conflicts. --Boardroom Reports
