Sun Tzu 
The Art of War (Includes the Tao Te Ching) [EPUB ebook] 
Complete and Original Edition

‘A wonder of practical wisdom The Art of War is about unlearning the complexities of life and returning to the simple and true. This unknown voice from millennia ago teaches us to strip away obfuscation and thus attain highest effectiveness.’ -Mitch Horowitz

This timeless classic on strategy and victory has guided soldiers, generals, martial artists, and seekers throughout the ages. Discover how it can empower you today.

Written by legendary military commander Sun Tzu (c. 544–496 BC),
The Art of War is the master key to strength and victory. The ancient volume is the most powerful and practical book ever written on overcoming obstacles and defeating your foes.
Each one of the book’s thirteen chapters explores different aspects of warfare, making it not only the definitive guidebook on military strategy and tactics but a work of posterity for anyone who faces conflict, of whatever nature, today.
Included with this special edition are a new introduction by PEN Award-winning historian Mitch Horowitz and a complete translation of the
Tao Te Ching, the ancient ethical work on which
The Art of War stands.
Both
The Art of War and the
Tao Te Ching are translated with crystalline clarity by British Sinologist Lionel Giles (1875–1958). Giles’ translations, each a model of precision, are classics in their own right.
As Mitch explores in his introduction,
The Art of War is essentially a Taoist work. Its core principle is to blend with the natural order of things. That is the book’s approach to conflict and friction as it is to restoration and maintenance of peace.
The Art of War is as applicable to contemporary business as it is to warfare. Leaders in fields as wide ranging as politics, law, finance, psychology, management, sales, human resources, and corporate strategy discover valuable insights in its time-tested truths. The book also remains required reading in most military academies around the world.
Discover why
The Art of War is the indispensable work on power and victory—and let it guide you in a world where friction is inevitable and triumph over adversaries may be urgently necessary. Let its wisdom teach you to attain what we all seek:
victory with honor.
