About This Item
London: Arcturus, 2019. New. Deluxe slipcased edition. Collector's Edition. One of the most profound studies of warfare ever written. The unread book is tight and square with solid hinges and binding, good tips, and clean unmarred boards with foil-stamped lettering. The textblock is clean with no writing, bookplate, or markings and not BCE, ex-library, or remaindered. Black and white illustrations. The slipcase is Near Fine with crinkle to back top corner and faint wear. 383 pages. 7 1/2" X 9 1/2" tall.
Written between 500 BCE and 700 CE, these seven texts have inspired generals for millennia, both in China and the wider world. Featuring Sun Tzu's The Art of War, this new translation brings to light the military masterpieces of ancient China. These texts display an understanding of strategy and warfare still relevant more than 2,000 years after they were originally written. Together, they present a uniquely eastern tradition of warfare that emphasizes speed, stealth and cunning rather than force by numbers.
