Now available in its complete form, including the Chinese characters and English text, this essential examination of the art of strategic thinking features extensive commentary and an insightful historical introduction written by Lionel Giles, its original translator.

This new edition includes an all-new introduction by scholar of ancient Chinese literature, John Minford.
