DESCRIPTION:

Sunzi: The Art of War is the earliest and most valuable Chinese treatise on military science extant, dating from the late Spring and Autumn Period(770-476 B.C.). The book is a condensation of the experience of warfare in that historical era, with the emphasis on precautionary and intelligence strategy. By revealing the nature and important rules of warfare, Sunzi: The Art of War has had a tremendous influence on military, political and philosophical thought in China. Down the ages it has been called a "military genius." This work, now over 2,000 years old, has been translated into various languages since the 17th century, and even today has a profound influence all over the world.

Sun Bin: The Art of War is another ancient Chinese classic dealing with military science, written during the Warring States Period (475-221 B.C.). Sun Bin was a direct descendant of Sunzi. It incorporates the experience of warfare into this later historical period. It inherits and develops the military theories contained in Sun Bin: The Art of War, and has been lauded throughout the ages. Sun Bin: The Art of War was lost for about 1,000 years, until 1972, when a copy of the work written on strips of bamboo was found in a tomb dating from the Han Dynasty (206 B.C.-A.D.220) at Yinqueshan, near Linyi in Shandong Province. The present translation, the first into English of Sun Bin: The Art of War, is based on ending work done on the bamboo strips.
