About This Item
Canberra: Air Power Development Centre. Near Fine. 2009. First Edition. Paperback. 1920800344 . This book, The Art of Air Power: Sun Tzu Revisited, is not simply another of the many translations of the timeless classic. It is an entirely new text, based on detailed study of a large number of currently available translations, commentaries and reviews. More importantly, the book explains the great Masters paradigms in a contemporary military context, taking into account the changed nature of security and conflict in the twenty first century. It further relates the military strategy derived from this analysis to the application of air power at the strategic and operational level within the contemporary conflict arena. Although Sun Tzu wrote his treatise at a time when air power was not even a dream, it contains certain universal truths about the application of all military power that transcend time and operating dimensions. The author brings forward these terse, aphoristic statements--unsurpassed in examining and understanding conflict situations, from the grand strategic to the battlefield tactical--within the contemporary military and air power scenario in a way that will be more readily understood by current practitioners of the complex art of military strategy.
