A classic! Find inspiration in some of history’s great military victories as others have for over 2,400 years. Sun Tzu was the most famous military scientist, and one of the ablest commanders, in ancient China. Asian warlords, and modern leaders as dissimilar as Mao Tse-tung and General Eisenhower, have used his principles to change the shape of the world.
 
This modern interpretation is written by General Tao Hanzhang, who held the post of a senior officer in the Chinese People's Liberation Army. He offers a vivid, clear, and analytical explanation of Sun Tzu's thought on the art of war and provides penetrating comments on its values and shortcomings.

Later, he was provost in the North China Military and Political College. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, he has held many important military posts.
