This book belongs to a subseries-within-the-series, containing the lavishly illustrated editions of classical Chinese authors.



The Art of War by Sun Zi (544-496 BC) is the most influential book on military strategy ever written. On the author and his book see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Tzu.

This edition offers a choice of the most important passages of this work, comments them in modern Chinese, and illustrates them with maps, explanatory sketches and photos, as well as with classical Chinese paintings and calligraphies.
