These terse, aphoristic essays are unsurpassed in comprehensiveness and depth of understanding, examining not only battlefield maneuvers but also relevant economic, political, and psychological factors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIndeed, the precepts outlined by Sun Tzu are regularly applied outside the realm of military theory. It is read avidly by Japanese businessmen and was touted in the movie \u003cem\u003eWall Street\u003c\/em\u003e as the corporate raider's bible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProviding a much-needed translation of this classic, Samuel Griffith has made this powerful and unique work even more relevant to the modern world. Including an explanatory introduction and selected commentaries on the work, this edition makes Sun Tzu's timeless classic perfectly accessible to modern readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47643257176300,"sku":"9780195014761","price":42.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780195014761-the-art-of-war.jpg?v=1779166945","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/the-art-of-war-by-tzu-sun-9780195014761","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
