An immortal literary monument—the treatise “The Art of War” by the greatest commander and thinker of Ancient China, Sun Tzu (VI–V centuries BC)—is the quintessence of military wisdom, packed with a wealth of vivid details and specific examples of the actions of a commander and his army on the battlefield. Complemented by another great book from the collection “Seven Canons of Military Science”—Wu Tzu’s “Treatise on Military Art,” and accompanied by many unique illustrations, the book acquaints the modern reader with the very roots of world military thought and unfolds an impressive picture of intrigues and military disputes in Ancient China in the middle of the first millennium BC.
