The Art of War (Including Commentaries with Original Unabridged Giles Translation)

A brilliant treatise written by a brilliant military commander. The book itself is a surviving testimony to the achievements and shrewdness of the author who by his wit and ingenuity was one of the founders of Imperial China. The manuscript, although written 2 millenia ago is still relevant to this date. Military enthusiasts and think-tanks can surely benefit from this book. Apart from the domain of military conflict, several teachings can be applied in real life situations.Even I follow this book many times and it helps me a lot.For reading about domestic and foreign politics and strategies Arthashastra by Kautilya (Chanakya) is highly recommended. Although bureaucracy ,geopolitics and society has changed, some parts are universal truth and can still be applied in modern problems.Overall adding Art of War in your collection will be a great choice. Hope you like it.
