About this ebook
Sun Tzu was one of the greatest army generals who ever lived. He wrote The Art of War in the fifth century BC and yet his words are still resoundingly relevant to our modern lives.
His writings on aspects of warfare from the laying of plans to the tactics and psychology of manoeuvering an army, to the proper use of spies, resonate for us in today's world of cut-throat, ruthless business. With James Clavell's insightful foreword and notes, this classic is widely seen as a necessity on the bookshelf of military leaders and boardroom executives alike.

"This book has helped me a lot since reading it eight months ago. The truth is, we are constantly at war in our own lives. Although it may not be a violent war, we definitely engage in some form of warfare every day, such as petty arguments between co-workers or sibling rivalries. Once read and consumed, this book becomes a powerful doctrine to abide by in any situation in our lives. It allows us to navigate through difficult times that we otherwise wouldn't have the skills to overcome without some type of advanced training."
