According to Thomas Cleary—translator of more than thirty-five classics of Asian philosophy—the Japanese people have been so steeped in the way of the warrior that some of the manners and mentality of this outlook remain embedded in their individual and collective consciousness. Cleary shows how well-known attributes such as the reserve and mystery of formal Japanese behavior are deeply rooted in the ancient strategies of the traditional arts of war. Citing original Japanese sources that are popular among Japanese readers today, he reveals the hidden forces behind Japanese attitudes and conduct in political, business, social, and personal life. 227465 1991 The Japanese Art of War: Understanding the Culture of Strategy (Shambhala Classics) total:16|5:8|4:6|3:1|2:1| 16 69 27 3 5 0 false false Sat May 24 06:33:30 -0700 2008 Sat May 24 06:35:37 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Mon Mar 31 05:45:38 -0700 2008 Mon Mar 31 05:46:38 -0700 2008 2 0 false false Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Apr 08 18:28:24 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 08 18:29:22 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed Nov 18 20:07:46 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 18 20:07:50 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Sep 17 21:22:26 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 17 21:22:26 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue Sep 15 18:15:14 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 15 18:15:17 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri Aug 21 13:00:48 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 21 13:00:48 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jul 06 15:43:57 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 06 15:43:57 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon May 11 02:26:08 -0700 2009 Mon May 11 02:26:11 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu May 07 00:58:11 -0700 2009 Thu May 07 00:58:25 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1991 Fri Feb 06 15:37:54 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 06 15:38:16 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jan 11 10:15:10 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 11 10:15:10 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Mon Jan 05 22:11:21 -0800 2009 Fri Dec 12 21:12:02 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 05 22:11:21 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Oct 05 07:45:46 -0700 2008 Sun Oct 05 07:45:48 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Sun Sep 28 06:43:08 -0700 2008 Sun Sep 28 06:43:08 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sat Sep 27 11:39:45 -0700 2008 Sat Sep 27 11:39:45 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sun Aug 10 15:15:44 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 10 15:15:44 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sun Aug 10 10:50:27 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 10 10:50:27 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sat Aug 09 01:29:34 -0700 2008 Sat Aug 09 01:29:34 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Wed Jul 30 11:45:49 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 30 11:45:58 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=234850
