The late Samuel B. Griffith is the author of The Battle for Guadalcanal and the editor and translator of Mao Tse-tung: "On Guerilla War".
"The Art of War is among the greatest classics of military
literature ever written. Sun Tzu warfare is as applicable today as
when the book was written some 2,500 years ago....Pick up The Art
of War and read it."--General A.M. Gray, Marine Corps Gazette
"As a reflection of the Chinese mind, this little work is as
relevant as any Confucian classic."--The Times (London)
"Westerners have dozens of books to choose from if they want to
learn about Japanese philosophy and military tactics....But when
the Japanese, especially those in business, want information on the
subject, many turn to an ancient Chinese, not Japanese, military
manual, The Art of War....Shows managers how to be fearless in
resolving conflicts."--Boardroom Reports
"Shows managers how to be fearless in resolving
conflicts."--Boardroom Reports
"A brief tract on strategy that has been admired in China for
centuries. Some of Mao Tse Tung's most eloquent thoughts are merely
rehashes of Sun Tzu and his interpreters."--The Los Angeles Herald
Examiner
"Samuel Griffith's original and scholarly translation of The Art of
War shows how good scholarship can make an easily readable
translation that is much more useful to modern readers."--The
Philadelphia Inquirer
"I find this book to be an excellent complement to a traditional
text. It illustrates key strategic concepts from an alternative
perspective. Specifically, it effectively addresses: planning in a
dynamic environment, importance of leadership and harmonious
relations with subordinates, efficient use of resources, importance
of internal and external assessments and decision making - ethics,
reception, timliness, decision quality, etc."--Jeff Trailer,
University of Houston
