Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About Sun TzuThe earliest known work on military strategy and war, The Art of War consists of 13 short chapters attributed to a man named Sun Tzu, also known as Sun Tzi or Sun Wu. Little is known about the man, but he is widely believed to have been an accomplished general when he wrote the text. It emphasizes surprise and deception, with lines like "When capable, feign incapacity; when active, inactivity." The Art of War became known in Europe in the 18th century, and something of a manual for U.S. military strategists in the 20th century, when it was popularized by Henry Kissinger, among others.When Lionel Giles began his translation of Sun Tzu's ART OF WAR, the work was virtually unknown in Europe. Its introduction to Europe began in 1782 when a French Jesuit Father living in China, Joseph Amiot, acquired a copy of it, and translated it into French. It was not a good translation because, according to Dr. Giles, "[I]t contains a great deal that Sun Tzu did not write, and very little indeed of what he did." The first translation into English was published in 1905 in Tokyo by Capt. E. F. Calthrop, R.F.A. However, this translation is, in the words of Dr. Giles, "excessively bad." He goes further in this criticism: "It is not merely a question of downright blunders, from which none can hope to be wholly exempt. Omissions were frequent; hard passages were willfully distorted or slurred over. Such offenses are less pardonable. They would not be tolerated in any edition of a Latin or Greek classic, and a similar standard of honesty ought to be insisted upon in translations from Chinese." In 1908 a new edition of Capt. Calthrop's translation was published in London. It was an improvement on the first — omissions filled up and numerous mistakes corrected — but new errors were created in the process. Dr. Giles, in justifying his translation, wrote: "It was not undertaken out of any inflated estimate of my own powers; but I could not help feeling that Sun Tzu deserved a better fate than had befallen him, and I knew that, at any rate, I could hardly fail to improve on the work of my predecessors." Clearly, Dr. Giles' work established much of the groundwork for the work of later translators who published their own editions. Of the later editions of the ART OF WAR I have examined; two feature Giles' edited translation and notes, the other two present the same basic information from the ancient Chinese commentators found in the Giles edition. Of these four, Giles' 1910 edition is the most scholarly and presents the reader an incredible amount of information concerning Sun Tzu's text, much more than any other translation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It would be hard to overstate the impact of Sun Tzu's The Art of War on military thought. Beyond its impact in Asia, the work has been required reading in translation for US military personnel since the Cold War. Sun Tzu has been interpreted as arguing for 'Indirect Strategy' in contrast to 'Direct Strategy,' the latter idea stemming from Ancient Greece. This is a product of twentieth-century Western thinking, specifically that of Liddell Hart, who influenced Samuel B. Griffith's 1963 translation of Sun Tzu. The credibility of Griffith's translation was enhanced by his combat experience in the Pacific during World War II, and his translation of Mao Zedong's On Guerrilla War. This reading of Sun Tzu is, however, very different from Chinese interpretations. Western strategic thinkers have used Sun Tzu as a foil or facilitator for their own thinking, inadvertently engaging the Western military tradition and propagating misleading generalizations about Chinese warfare.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sun Tzu's 'The Art of War' remains the most influential strategy text in warfare. It has a great influence on East Asian and Western military thinking, business tactics, legal strategy, sports and beyond. 'The Art of War' is an ancient Chinese military treatise dating from the Spring and Autumn period. 2500-year-old this classic work is attributed to the ancient Chinese general Sun Tzu ("Master Sun" also spelt Sunzi, born in 544 BC and died in 496 BC). 'The Art of War' is 13 chapters book on Strategy. 'The Art of War' was first translated and published into French in 1772 by the French 'Jesuit Jean Joseph Marie Amiot' and a partial translation into English was attempted by British officer 'Everard Ferguson Calthrop' in 1905 under the title 'The Book of War'. The first annotated English translation was completed and published by 'Lionel Giles' in 1910. Numerous military and political leaders such as the Chinese communist revolutionary Mao Zedong, Japanese daimyo Takeda Shingen, and American military general Norman Schwarzkopf, Jr. have drawn inspiration from the book.'The Art of War' is traditionally ascribed to Sun Tzu. It presents a philosophy of war for managing conflicts and winning battles. It is accepted as a masterpiece on strategy and has been frequently cited and referred to by generals and theorists since it was first published, translated, and distributed internationally.There are numerous theories concerning when the text was completed and concerning the identity of the author or authors, but archaeological recoveries show The Art of War had taken roughly its current form by at least the early Han. Because it is impossible to prove definitively when 'The Art of War' was completed before this date, the different theories concerning the work's author or authors and date of completion are unlikely to be completely resolved. Some modern scholars believe that it contains not only the thoughts of its original author but also commentary and clarifications from later military theorists, such as Li Quan and Du Mu. On April 10, 1972, the Yinqueshan Han Tombs were accidentally unearthed by construction workers in Shandong. Scholars uncovered a collection of ancient texts written on unusually well-preserved bamboo strips. Sun Tzu's Art of War has influenced many notable figures. The Chinese historian Sima Qian recounted that China's first historical emperor, Qin's Shi Huangdi, considered the book invaluable in ending the time of the Warring States. In the 20th century, the Chinese Communist leader Mao Zedong partially credited his 1949 victory over Chiang Kai-shek and the Kuomintang to The Art of War. The work strongly influenced Mao's writings about guerrilla warfare, which further influenced communist insurgencies around the world.Art of War is very famous in Asia, Europe and America due to its applied philosophy in competition, such as people management, addressing social issues, politics, and competition in business. The Art of War translated in more than 200 languages including Bengali, English and French.In the present edition of "The Art of War' in Modern English" The translator adapted the long-standing words of 2500-year-old Sun Tzu's Art of War to today's English keeping the original meaning intact.

Book excerpt: In other editions, the elements for victory, the 'weather' and 'terrain', were always mistranslated into 'heaven' and 'earth'. It is with great humility and reverence for this ancient masterpiece that I present my translation, an endeavor born out of a profound respect for the past and a commitment to preserving its truths for future generations. I am Tim Tian. As a research scientist specializing in microbiology at the Illinois Institute of Technology, my journey from the microscopic intricacies of life to the strategic expanse of ancient military philosophy may seem unconventional. Yet, it is this path, from the shores of China to the academic halls of the United States, that has imbued me with a deep appreciation for the meticulous detail and nuanced understanding required to bridge worlds — whether they be scientific disciplines or the vast divide between ancient and modern times. My love for ancient Chinese literature, nurtured in the rich cultural heritage of my homeland, has been a beacon guiding me through the challenges of translation. "The Art of War" is not merely a manual of military strategy but a treatise on the art of navigating life's conflicts with wisdom, strategy, and foresight. My translation endeavors to honor Sun Tzu's original text, meticulously preserving its essence while ensuring that its timeless strategies are accessible and relevant to a contemporary audience. The task of translation, especially of a work as nuanced and profound as "The Art of War," is fraught with the peril of interpretation. Each word in Sun Tzu's ancient Chinese carries layers of meaning, shaped by the context of its time. My approach has been one of faithful accuracy, striving to capture not only the literal meaning of the text but also its spirit. This dedication to fidelity is what distinguishes this edition, offering readers a window into the world of ancient Chinese warfare and philosophy as Sun Tzu intended it to be seen. In this translation, I have sought to bridge the gap between past and present, bringing to life Sun Tzu's strategies for a new generation. It is my hope that readers will find within these pages not only guidance for battles but principles for life, illuminated by a translation that respects the depth and wisdom of the original text. As we navigate the complexities of our modern world, the ancient strategies of "The Art of War" remain surprisingly relevant, offering insights into overcoming obstacles, achieving goals, and understanding the dynamics of conflict and resolution. May this translation serve as a compass for those seeking direction in times of turmoil, a reminder of the enduring power of strategic thought across the ages.
