    <![CDATA[Conflict is an inevitable part of life, according to this ancient Chinese classic of strategy, but everything necessary to deal with conflict wisely, honorably, victoriously, is already present within us. Compiled more than two thousand years ago by a mysterious warrior-philosopher, <em>The Art of War </em> is still perhaps the most prestigious and influential book of strategy in the world, as eagerly studied in Asia by modern politicians and executives as it has been by military leaders since ancient times. As a study of the anatomy of organizations in conflict, <em>The Art of War </em> applies to competition and conflict in general, on every level from the interpersonal to the international. Its aim is invincibility, victory without battle, and unassailable strength through understanding the physics, politics, and psychology of conflict.]]>

Despite being separated by 2000 years and half a world, these famous works of Niccolò Machiavelli and Sun Tzu have much in common.  Both books were produced during times of great unrest and both have altered the course of political and military thought and practice for generations. This book contains the acclaimed English translations of W.K. Marriott for The Prince and Lionel Giles for The Art of War.]]>

    <![CDATA[Civilization might have been spared much of the damage suffered in the world wars this century if the influence of Clausewitz's On War  had been blended with and balanced by a knowledge of Sun-tzu's The Art of Warfare.  --B.H. Liddel Hart<br/><br/>For two thousand years, Sun-tzu's The Art of Warfare was the indispensable volume of warcraft. Although his work is the first known analysis of war and warfare, Sun-tzu struck upon a thoroughly modern concept: &quot;The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.&quot;        Karl von Clausewitz, the canny military theorist who famously declared that war is a continuation of politics by other means, also claims paternity of the notion &quot;total war.&quot;   His is the magnum opus of the era of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic vars.<br/><br/>Now these two great military minds are made to share the same tent, metaphorically speaking, in The Book of War. What a bivouac it is, and what a conversation into the night.<br/><br/>Military writer Ralph Peters has written a new Introduction for this Modern Library edition. <br/><br/><br/>]]>

    <![CDATA[The two political classics in this book are the product of a time of intense turmoil in Chinese history. Dating from the Period of the Warring States (403-221BC), they anticipate Machiavelli's The Prince by nearly 2000 years. The Art of War is the best known of a considerable body of Chinese works on the subject. It analyses the nature of war, and reveals how victory may be ensured. The Book of Lord Shang is a political treatise for the instruction of rulers. These texts are anything but armchair strategy or ivory-tower speculation. They are serious, urgent and practical responses to the desperate situations in which they were written. They have been immensely influential both inside and outside China.]]>

    <![CDATA[This Chinese/English edition of The Art of War, the oldest military classic of the corpus of Chinese literature, is translated from its original antiquated Chinese into English and modern Chinese by Cheng Lin, the renowned scholar of Qin Dynasty texts, based on the text annotated by scholars over the centuries.    <p>The authorship of The Art of War was ascribed to Suen Wuu, whose ability as an organizer and disciplinarian was amply proved in actual warfare after he became a general of Wu State. He was the hero of many most astonishing military exploits. Once with only 30,000 men he delivered a crushing defeat on Chuu’s 200,000 men.    <p>The Art of War was first made famous by Emperor Wuu of Wey Dynasty who was himself a great statesman-general well versed in the arts of peace and war. He was its first editor and commentator. Since his time, there have been many other annotated editions.    <p>This book was first translated into French in 1772 by a Jesuit missionary J.J. M. Amiot and rendered into English by Lionel Giles whose Sun Tzu on the Art of War first appeared in 1910 and was published by Luzac Company of London.</p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[«A ordem e a desordem dependem da organização; a coragem e a covardia, das circunstâncias; a força e a fraqueza, das disposições. »Quando as tropas ocupam uma situação favorável, o covarde torna-se bravo. Se estão perdidas, o bravo vira covarde. Na arte da guerra não existem regras fixas. Apenas podem ser talhadas segundo as circunstâncias.» <br/><br/>Entre os analistas de matérias militares, apenas Clausewitz lhe pode ser comparado, embora os escritos de Sun Tzu o precedam em mais de dois mil anos.]]>

    <![CDATA[Written 2,500 years ago by Chinese general Sun Tzu, The Art of War is a poetic and potent treatise on military strategy still in use in war colleges around the world. Yet its principles transcend warfare and have practical applications to all the conflicts and crises we face in our lives--in our workplaces, our families, even within ourselves.  <p>Thomas Huynh guides you through Sun Tzu's masterwork, highlighting principles that encourage a perceptive and spiritual approach to conflict, enabling you to:  &lt;ul&gt;  &lt;li&gt;Prevent conflicts before they arise  &lt;li&gt;Peacefully and quickly resolve conflicts when they do arise  &lt;li&gt;Act with courage, intelligence and benevolence in adversarial situations  &lt;li&gt;Convert potential enemies into friends  &lt;li&gt;Control your emotions before they control you    Now you can experience the effectiveness of Sun Tzu's teachings even if you have no previous knowledge of The Art of War. Insightful yet unobtrusive facing-page commentary explains the subtleties of the text, allowing you to unlock the power of its teachings and help prevent and resolve the conflicts in your own life.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[The Art of War is an antique Chinese military treatise that was written by Sun Tzu in the 6th century B.C. The book is composed of 13 chapters, each of which is devoted to one aspect of warfare. The Art of War has long been praised as the definitive work on military strategies and tactics of its time, and one of the basic texts on the subject. This unique book is one of the oldest and most successful books on military strategy in the world, and until today Sun Tzu's writings still have a huge influence on military thinking, business tactics, and beyond.]]>

    <![CDATA[Unabridged Audiobook. 1 MP3 CD - 2 hours, 8 minutes. Narrated by Scott Brick &amp; Shelly Frasier    <p>&quot;All warfare is based on deception. Thus, when able to attack, we must seem unable. Hold out bait to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and crush him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is quick to anger, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant.&quot;    <p>Written before Alexander the Great was born, this Chinese treatise on war has become one of the most influential works on the subject. Read widely in the east since its appearance 2500 years ago, The Art of War first came to the west with a French Jesuit in1782. It has been studied by generals from Napoleon to Rommel and it is still required reading in most military academies of the world.    <p>Although it was meant to be a practical guide to warfare in the age of chariots, many corporate and government leaders have successfully applied its lessons to battles in the modern dog-eat-dog world. Sun Tzu covers all aspects of war in his time, from strategy and tactics to the proper use of terrain and spies. In this version, Sun Tzu's lessons are brought to life with commentaries from ancient Chinese history, which illustrate both the philosophy and the principles of his teachings.    <p>This audiobook is on one CD, encoded in MP3 format and will only play on CD players and computers that have the ability to play this unique format.</p></p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[The Art of War, compiled by Sun Tzu in the 6th century B.C., is the world's oldest surviving military treatise. Long revered as the definitive guide to strategy and tactics on the battlefield, its timeless wisdom is now being applied in the boardroom, on the playing field, and everywhere challenges must be faced. Required reading for U.S. Marine commandants, The Art of War has inspired generals from Douglas MacArthur to Norman Schwazkopf. But it has also been used by top executives, sports coaches, political strategists, lawyers, salesmen, pick-up artists, and Survivor contestants. Whatever your arena of battle, The Art of War will help you overcome overcome every obstacle along the path to success.

  <description>
    <![CDATA[The Art of War by Sun Tzu is one of the world&#8217;s most profound treatises on strategy and leadership, and it has been a best seller in numerous editions around the world. Perhaps best known for the dictum &#8220;win without fighting,&#8221; it has attracted millions of readers seeking to understand the underlying dynamics of conflict and victory. <br/><br/>However, for all the popularity of the various editions, The Art of War remains one of the most difficult texts to understand and apply successfully in daily life. This book is one of the first to make Sun Tzu&#8217;s lessons accessible and relevant in today&#8217;s world.<br/><br/>Though The Art of War comes from an ancient lineage of Chinese military commanders, The Rules of Victory shows that the text is just as valuable and compelling for the ordinary person as it is for the soldier or the business leader. James Gimian and Barry Boyce, who collaborated on the best-selling Denma translation of the text, reveal that The Art of War is not in fact about making war, but is a manual on how to work effectively and artfully with chaotic situations and thorny conflicts.<br/><br/>The Rules of Victory includes a complete translation of the classical text. With engaging case studies and examples drawn from a variety of contexts, readers learn that:<br/><br/>Conflict in life is inevitable, yet we can achieve our objectives without resorting to aggression.<br/><br/>War is any situation that demands hard choices about creation and destruction, life or death.  <br/><br/>Victory lies in bringing others around to embracing a larger view&#8212;one that includes their own&#8212;without ever going to battle.<br/><br/>Dealing effectively with conflict involves becoming comfortable with uncertainty, ambiguity, imperfection, and gestation.]]>

    <![CDATA[Esta obra es importante no porque sus reflexiones sean una invitacion a practicar la guerra, sino porque para Sun Tzu la guerra es algo mas que la simple fuerza bruta y la irracionalidad de la destruccion. Se trata del arte de evitar los conflictos; requiere de una sabiduria mayor, pero sobre todo, exige de nuestra parte una gran sensibilidad para detectar cuales son las exigencias que nos demanda la armonia universal.]]>

    <![CDATA[The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli AND The Art of War by Sun Tzu   written respectively by authors Niccolo Machiavelli &amp; Sun Tzu is considered by many to be two of the most widely read books of all time. These two popular titles will surely attract a whole new generation of readers. For many, The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli AND The Art of War by Sun Tzu   is required reading for various courses and curriculums. And for others who simply enjoy reading timeless pieces of classic literature, the combination of these two books by Niccolo Machiavelli &amp; Sun Tzu are highly recommended. Published by Classic Books America and beautifully produced, The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli AND The Art of War by Sun Tzu would make an ideal gift and this two book combination should be a part of everyone's personal library.]]>
