The definitive translation of Sun-tzu's timeless classic of military strategy, Art of WarArt of War is almost certainly the most famous study of strategy ever written and has had an extraordinary influence on the history of warfare. The principles Sun-tzu expounded were utilized brilliantly by such great Asian war leaders as Mao Tse-tung, Giap, and Yamamoto. First translated two hundred years ago by a French missionary, Sun-tzu's Art of War has been credited with influencing Napoleon, the German General Staff, and even the planning for Desert Storm. Many Japanese companies make this book required reading for their key executives. And increasingly, Western businesspeople and others are turning to the Art of War for inspiration and advice on how to succeed in competitive situations of all kinds. Unlike most editions of Sun-tzu currently available (many simply retreads of older, flawed translations), this superb translation makes use of the best available classical Chinese manuscripts, including the ancient "tomb text" version discovered by archaeologists at Linyi, China. Ralph Sawyer, an outstanding Western scholar of ancient Chinese warfare and a successful businessman in his own right, places this classic work of strategy in its proper historical context. Sawyer supplies a portrait of Sun-tzu's era and outlines several battles of the period that may have either influenced Sun-tzu or been conducted by him. While appreciative of the philosophical richness of the Art of War, this edition stresses Sun-tzu's practical origins and presents a translation that is both accurate and accessible.

My nine year old daughter loved it, now her friends are borrowing it.
Format: Paperback
My nine year old daughter loved it. She read it the day she got it, and then re-read the first two volumes. As a retired Language Arts teacher, books like this warm my heart. Excellent engaging story line.

Great condition, beautiful artwork, great for a broad range of reading levels
Format: Paperback
My sisters are loving this series. We pre-ordered the 3rd graphic novel and they’re already asking if there will be a 4th!
My sisters are both in 4th grade but sit at very different reading levels. “A” has a difficult time with reading comprehension and focus, so graphic novels have been a wonderful way to introduce her into the magical world of books. I firmly believe that graphic novels have helped her gain confidence and strengthen her reading skills… she now regularly reads chapter books!
Sister “B” is a very strong reader; she loves both chapter books and graphic novels. Sorceline and Wings of Fire are her absolute favorites right now. This is a great option for when she still wants to be engrossed in a story but focus some more on imagery, giving her brain a break from the heavier stuff.
We can’t wait to see if more books will be released in this series.
