Written in the 6th century BCE, Sun Tzu's The Art of War is still used as a book of military strategy today. This pocket illustrated dual-language edition not only presents the original Chinese characters with James Trapp's translation on the facing page, but also tests Sun Tzu's ideas against history. Each of the 13 chapters includes a new commentary giving examples of how Sun Tzu's wisdom has been borne out on the world's battlefields.
