The art of war

With a foreword and explanatory notes by James Clavell, Sun Tzu's universal classic, The Art of War , has a new cover and graphic design, and a foreword to the Brazilian edition by Professor Clóvis de Barros Filho.

Developed over 20 centuries ago in Ancient China, the teachings of General Sun Tzu, a pioneer of military science, remain relevant today. This classic of strategy is extremely useful not only for executives, entrepreneurs, or heads of state. The Art of War is a must-read for anyone aspiring to success.

Mastering the tricks necessary to win battles large and small is a matter of life or death. Understanding the enemy, and more importantly, oneself, is the determining factor for progress or utter ruin. Therefore, more than a tactical manual on how to win wars, Sun Tzu's work has gained prominence in the modern world as a guide of keen sensitivity and profound insight into human nature.

The Art of War offers the reader fundamental precepts: gaining a deeper understanding of the nature of conflict; adopting a strategic stance in the face of adversity; being a good leader; and understanding human character. The ancient wisdom of the Chinese philosopher and general Sun Tzu can be the necessary guidance for dealing with conflict and—by winning the war—ultimately achieving peace.
