Master Sun's Art of War by Sun Tzu,Philip J. Ivanhoe Pdf

"P. J. Ivanhoe is one of the English-speaking world's foremost translators and interpreters of classical Chinese philosophical texts. His translation of the Sunzi Bingfa reads beautifully, adorned only by sobering photographic plates of the famed terracotta army of the first Qin emperor that turn one back to the text in a properly reflective mood. The Introduction and endnotes are blessedly spare, providing just the right amount of interpretive scholarship to assist comprehension of the text, while not interfering with its intrinsic simplicity, clarity, and profundity." --Sumner B. Twiss, Distinguished Professor of Human Rights, Ethics, and Religion, Florida State University "Philip J. Ivanhoe's translation of Sun Tzu's Art of War will be warmly embraced by students.

Master Sun's Art of War: A Classic Text for the Modern Martial Artist by Patrick Moran Pdf

This classic of military science delivers timeless wisdom on the use of power to protect one's community. Master Sun had a global defense strategy. He preferred using counterpoises to looming offensive forces rather than battles that cost lives on both sides. He was a master of balances of power, using disruption rather than aggression, and employing guile rather than brute force. When combat was forced on him, his greatest weapons were speed, surprise, and deception. Yet even for his enemies, he preferred preservation rather than destruction. Those who seek global peace and to protect the ordinary citizens of the world will find value in his ideas. Those who are charged with meeting active aggression from national or transnational actors will find ready applications for his methods. And, although the scale of action is different, martial artists can also benefit from learning Master Sun's ways of maintaining complete situational awareness and succeeding in the anticipation of attacks.

Mastering the Art of War by Liang Zhuge,Ji Liu Pdf

Composed by two prominent statesmen-generals of classical China, this book develops the strategies of Sun Tzu's classic, The Art of War , into a complete handbook of organization and leadership. The great leaders of ancient China who were trained in Sun Tzu's principles understood how war is waged successfully, both materially and mentally, and how victory and defeat follow clear social, psychological, and environmental laws. Drawing on episodes from the panorama of Chinese history, Mastering the Art of War presents practical summaries of these essential laws along with tales of conflict and strategy that show in concrete terms the proper use of Sun Tzu's principles. The book also examines the social and psychological aspects of organization and crisis management. The translator's introduction surveys the Chinese philosophies of war and conflict and explores in depth the parallels between The Art of War and the oldest handbook of strategic living, the I Ching (Book of Changes).

The Art of War by Sun Tzu by Sun Tzu Pdf

Although the chariots have gone and the weapons have changed, this ancient master holds his own, since he deals with fundamentals—with the influence of politics and human nature on military operations. He shows in a striking way how unchanging these principles are. From its origins in China, The Art of War traveled the world to inform the strategies of Napoleon and World War II generals. More recently, it has taken on a new life as a guide to competing successfully in business, law, politics, and sports. All of The Art of War's concepts retain their value to modern readers, from the prudence of circumventing a strong opponent and taking advantage of a weak one to the wisdom of preparedness and flexibility. Other topics include strategy, tactics, maneuvering, communications, the treatment of soldiers, and the worth of well-trained officers.

The Book of War: Includes The Art of War by Sun Tzu & On War by Karl von Clausewitz by Sun Tzu,Carl von Clausewitz Pdf

Two classic works of military strategy that shaped the way we think about warfare: The Art of War by Sun Tzu and On War by Karl von Clausewitz, together in one volume “Civilization might have been spared much of the damage suffered in the world wars . . . if the influence of Clausewitz’s On War had been blended with and balanced by a knowledge of Sun Tzu’s The Art of War.”—B. H. Liddel Hart For two thousand years, Sun Tzu’s The Art of War has been the indispensable volume of warcraft. Although his work is the first known analysis of war and warfare, Sun Tzu struck upon a thoroughly modern concept: “The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.” Karl von Clausewitz, the canny military theorist who famously declared that war is a continuation of politics by other means, also claims paternity of the notion “total war.” On War is the magnum opus of the era of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic wars. Now these two great minds come together in a single volume that also features an introduction by esteemed military writer Ralph Peters and the Modern Library War Series introduction by Caleb Carr, New York Times bestselling author of The Alienist. (The cover and text refer to The Art of War as The Art of Warfare, an alternate translation of the title.)
