The Art of War: Translated by Lionel Giles

The Art of War is the most famous and longest lasting book on the practice of war. The book does not mince words: war is about winning, it is not a gentleman's game; it about using every means at one's disposal to tip the odds in one's favor. Of the years this book has been used by military figures, war departments, business people, educators, and politicians, to name a few. This is the core work without other's editorial comments.
