The words held within these pages, written over two and a half thousand years ago, ring just as true today as they did in fifth century BC China. Bestselling author and master storyteller James Clavell (Shōgun) brought The Art of War to greater prominence in the West in the 1980s and showed how the book’s instruction was applicable on a smaller scale and could be used for personal betterment. Clavell’s wonderfully evocative foreword and helpful notes throughout the text guide the reader through preparations and battle plans, correct use of weapons and knowing when to fight—and when not to fight. With a deep understanding of both strategy and human nature, this military treatise illustrates the fine craft of knowing one’s enemy and oneself. From military officers to CEOs to those simply looking to be more powerful in their own life, The Art of War has become required reading for anyone seeking a path of success through the modern world.

A unique narration of and even more unique book
- Simon Vance gives a stellar reading to the book that perhaps teaches more about the strategy of war play than any that has been written. The book has been quoted many times in all kinds of writings, but Mr. Vance lends a superb voice to the book’s wisdom that few narrators could top. A definite recommendation. Here, you’ll find the art of persuasion expressed with a broad appeal in mind.
