Sun Tzu's chapters on terrain, deception and the cost of prolonged campaigns have outlived the warfare they described by well over two thousand years.
The treatise is built from short numbered passages grouped by topic, which is why it quotes so easily and gets read so variously, by military historians, negotiators and managers alike. This Fingerprint! Publishing paperback keeps the whole text to 100 pages, a length that encourages returning to particular sections rather than reading straight through once.
Quick facts:
• Short numbered passages arranged by subject
• Material on strategy, terrain, deception and timing
• A 100-page paperback from Fingerprint! Publishing
• A text read as often for business as for military history
Of interest to students of history, strategy readers and anyone assembling a classics shelf, published by Fingerprint! Publishing and available at Boipoka.
