Compiled more than two thousand years ago by a mysterious warrior-philosopher, <i>The Art of War </i> 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, <i>The Art of War </i> 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. 3200649 book 1963 The Art of War total:6874|5:2040|4:2389|3:1889|2:487|1:69| 6874 26466 10662 636 0 0 false false Thu May 11 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Wed Mar 11 09:33:16 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 11 09:34:14 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Thu Jan 29 18:36:58 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 29 18:37:10 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Mon Dec 29 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 29 15:13:06 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 29 15:14:11 -0800 2008 1 0 false false Mon Dec 22 16:16:15 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 22 16:18:39 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Wed Apr 18 00:00:00 -0700 1990 Thu Dec 11 21:26:07 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 11 21:26:51 -0800 2008 2 0 false false Wed Dec 03 08:09:44 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 03 08:10:32 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2001 Wed Jul 09 09:17:46 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 09 09:28:12 -0700 2008 Written from a Taoist perspective of "non-action", this manual is meant to teach an individual the art of being a great general,which is defined as being one who never has to enter the battlefield.
