Runs to about 96 pages, so it's the sort of book you keep on the desk rather than the nightstand – good for students, researchers and anyone curious about the subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat it's about\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginally written in Chinese by Sunzi and Wutzu as The Articles of Suntzu and The Sayings of Wutzu and translated into English by Captain Everard Ferguson Calthrop, The Book of War: The Military Classic of the Far East is one of the most expansive works of literature on warfare in Chinese literature. Written during a time when China was a mosaic of different principles and ambitions, Suntzu put war tactics and strategies in words, spelling out when to go to war, what to do and what not to do while at war, and how to treat one’s enemy if victory is the ultimate goal.\nThe Japanese applied these war strategies more than the Chinese where generations of soldiers swore by Sunzi and Wutzu. Captain E.F. Ferguson translated these war strategies into English, and even though we know not much about these Chinese masters, except the ruthlessness of Sunzi and the immorality of Wutzu, the translation immortalizes them in these words and pages.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBook details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sun Tzu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e V\u0026amp;S Publishers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e (01\/07\/2022)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wars \u0026amp; Conflicts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs The Art of War available in paperback or hardcover?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis listing is for the paperback edition of \u003cem\u003eThe Art of War\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat language is this edition in?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis edition is in English.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho wrote The Art of War?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Art of War is written by Sun Tzu.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow fast does Bookston ship?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eShipping is free on every order, with no minimum.
