Audiobook CD
The Art of War is an ancient
Chinese military treatise dating from the 5th century BC.
Attributed to the ancient Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu –
"Master Sun", the audiobook is composed of 13 chapters, each of
which is devoted to one aspect of warfare. It is commonly
thought of as a definitive work on military strategy and
tactics. It was placed at the head of China's Seven Military
Classics upon the collection's creation in 1080 by Emperor
Shenzong of Song, and has long been the most influential
strategy text in East Asia. It has had an influence on
Eastern and Western military thinking, business tactics, legal
strategy and beyond.
The book was first translated into French in 1772 by the Jesuit
Jean Joseph Marie Amiot and a partial translation into English
was attempted by British officer Everard Ferguson Calthrop in
1905. The first annotated English translation was completed and
published by Lionel Giles in 1910. Leaders as diverse as Mao
Zedong, General Vo Nguyen Giap, General Douglas MacArthur and
leaders of Imperial Japan have drawn inspiration from the work.
