Sun Tzu's art of war

Sun Tzu (Sunzi) was the most famous military scientist, and one of the ablest commanders, in ancient China. Asian warlords, and modern leaders as dissimilar as Mao Zedong and General Eisenhower, have used his principles to change the shape of the world. Interpreted here by General Tao Hanzhang, one of the architects of the Communist Revolution, and later a senior officer in the Chinese People's Liberation Army, it offers a vivid analytical explanation of Sunzi's thought, as well as penetrating comments on its values and shortcomings, a comprehensive framework for approaching modern as well as ancient Chinese military thought.--From publisher description.
