Opis

Military Strategists of Ancient China contains biographical sketches of sixteen eminent Chinese military strategists of past ages. Each sketch covers the background, character, lifework and activities of the man and the historical role he played. It has been said that history is a mirror; if so, and, as these stories do indeed form part of history, the reader will undoubtedly find every tale in this book infused with lessons and insights from the past. The art of war as conceived by the military strategists of ancient China has evolved and continues to evolve and develop over the years since Jiang Taigong wrote The Six Secret Strategic Teachings; it is an important contribution to the science of modern warfare.
