Publisher's Synopsis
THE ART OF WAR is one of those books whose fame is greater than its readership. Anyone who owns a copy would know why. The collection of 13 verses was written in classical Chinese, a spare and nuanced language that doesn't translate well. Here, the thirteen chapters of the original military treatise are organized into 7 Rules (core principles) and 11 Moves (strategies for situations in a conflict). The format of an executive summary would make it possible to read in the time of a coffee break.
