Sun Tzu's Art of War is almost certainly the most famous study of strategy ever written and has had an extraordinary influence on the history of warfare. The principles Sun Tzu expounded some 20,000 years ago continue to be relevant today. First translated into a European language two hundred years ago by a French missionary, the book has been read by Napoleon, the German General Staff, and even the commander for Operation Desert Storm. Many Japanese companies make this book required reading for their key executives. Increasingly, Western business executives and others are turning to it for inspiration and advice on how to succeed in competitive situations of all kinds. Unlike most editions, this new translation makes use of the best available classical Chinese manuscripts, including the ancient "tomb text" version discovered by archaeologists at Lingyi, China. -- SAF Professional Reading Programme, 3rd edition, Dec 2003.
