About this ebook
Considered to be one of the Seven Military Classics of ancient China, it is not currently known who exactly composed the Methods of the Sima. Modern historians suggest that it was likely compiled from various extant military treatises existing in the state of Qi in the fourth century BC during the ‘Warring States’ period. It is generally accredited to a prominent commander of Qi forces of that time, Sima Rangju, who seems to have been ‘Minister of War’. Only five of the 155 chapters reported in the Han dynasty exist, all editions of the Methods of the Sima seem to be remnants of a larger, more extensive work.

I found this to be very interesting. I have always been interested in military classics of ancient China and this one stands out among them. I can see that it has been put together by a very clever mind that understands the differing aspects and variations of warfare. Its good to be able to access a copy that works so well on digital devices. I can say that this would be a good read for anyone interested in this type of thing and will give you some introspect into comprehensive strategy, combative scenarios and situations that call for strategic defence.
