A delightfully illustrated version of Sunzi’s classic The Art of War by bestselling cartoonist C. C. Tsai
C. C. Tsai is one of Asia's most popular cartoonists, and his editions of the Chinese classics have sold more than 40 million copies in over twenty languages. This volume presents Tsai's delightful graphic adaptation of Sunzi's Art of War, the most profound book on warfare and strategy ever written--a work that continues to be read as a handbook for success not just by military commanders but also by leaders in politics, business, and many other fields.
Conceived by a Chinese warrior-philosopher some 2,500 years ago, The Art of War speaks to those aspiring to rise through the ranks and help build successful countries. How can that goal best be achieved, and what is the role of warfare, if any, in the process? What are the powers and limits of the general in command? How can you win without going to war? Sunzi's answers to these and other questions are brought to life as never before by Tsai's brilliant cartoons, which show Sunzi fighting on dangerous ground, launching a surprise attack, spying on his enemies, and much more.
A marvelously rich introduction to a timeless classic, this book also features a foreword by Lawrence Freedman, one of the world's leading authorities on military strategy, which illuminates how The Art of War has influenced Western strategic thought. In addition, Sunzi's original Chinese text is artfully presented in narrow sidebars on each page, enriching the books for readers and students of Chinese without distracting from the self-contained English-language cartoons. The text is skillfully translated by Brian Bruya, who also provides an introduction.

It is useful in developing offensive strategies and a critical guide for defense: learning what not to do and how to avoid competitive / enemy traps. It also explains external and internal psychological strategies. Sun Tzu advises "know the enemy and yourself." Martial Strategists studied competitive Art of War audiobooks before making its edition to ensure that you get the best, most useful Art of War. It was designed from the ground up to be the most practical version for application in combat - be it war, business, sports, or any other form - winning in competition and avoiding costly mistakes. Its usefulness was achieved by being faithful to the text of the Art of War.The Art of War includes the bonus "Sun Tzu and the Concubine" story and "The Biography of Confucius." Stylistically, the Martial Strategists version is quick paced and driving. You are involved in a critical mission - YOUR VICTORY - and the general is doing everything in his power to aid you. It is designed to interest and engage you. You will retain more and find it more useful when are your involved in the audiobook. That is why Martial Strategists have incorporated sound effects, music, and some levity to keep you interested and involved unlike the competitive versions that read to you slowly, . . . with . . . very . . . tedious . . . useless . . . information . . . . placed . . . out of context, giving you a headache, and putting you to sleep.

It has some levity in appropriate places. Also available discounted in InfoFount’s "Martial Strategy Pack." The Art of War Deluxe (3 Disks) This version integrates the comments and explanations of 2500 years of China's most respected experts on Sun Tzu's text seamlessly into the audiobook. It "fills in the blanks" and clarifies the military vocabulary, concepts, and strategies within the text that taken at face value can easily be misunderstood. If you are serious about fully understanding all the concepts and will take the time and effort to listen to it several times - We suggest the Deluxe 3 disk version. Sun Tzu wrote in a terse, somewhat abstract style, and, of course, wrote of vastly different times and conditions (500 BC China). The integrated commentary and explanations on the 3 disk set can greatly help clarify these aspects of Sun Tzu's Art of War. The comments and explanations were very carefully integrated to clarify and enhance without disrupting, the flow and comprehension of Sun Tzu's text. When you hear Sun Tzu talking about some obscure term or concept you will not be lost. Incredibly there are other versions that never explain some critical and counter intuitive and ambiguous writings - you can only take your chances and guess. Some of The Art of War if taken literally would be an inaccurate interpretation and potentially disastrous. Sun Tzu wrote in a somewhat abstract, poetic style assuming that the reader was familiar with military and cultural matters as it related to 500 BC China.
