This book brings together two ancient Chinese classics that focus on the same issues that preoccupied Sun Zi: the principles of warfare, the importance of leadership, and the complexities of military strategies and organisation. Written a thousand years apart, Wu Zi's Art of War and Conversations with Tang Taizong contain the wisdom and knowledge of two distinguished generals, Wu Zi, who lived 475-221 BC, and Tang Tai Zong, who founded the Tang Dynasty (618-906 AD) that heralded China's Golden Age. The text in Chinese is reproduced, with the English translation on the facing page. The insights and experiences of these two extraordinary men have many applications in modern business and management but general readers will also appreciate them for their sagacity.
