Sun-tzus The Art of War is the classic work on strategic thinking. Throughout recorded history Sun-tzus wisdom rules and philosophy have been eagerly embraced by warriors leaders and gentle contemplators alike. This edition is an entirely new text based on manuscripts discovered in Linyi China in 1972 that predate all previous texts by as many as one thousand years. To better convey Sun-tzus original intent translator researcher and interpreter J. H. Huang traced the roots of the language to Sun-tzus own time—before 221 b.c. In addition to his wonderfully clear interpretation Huang gives readers an introduction to the history behind The Art of War includes six appendices—five of which were uncovered at Linyi and are not available in any other edition—and offers his own insightful comments on the meaning of the text.
