Book Description

One of the Most Important Treaties on War and Peace Ever Written

In the fifth century BC, Sun Tzu wrote:

"In peace prapare for war, in war prepare for peace. The art of war is of vital importance to the state. It is a matter of life and death. A road either to safety or ruin. Hence it is a subject of inquiry which can on no account be neglected..."

In the twentieth century:

"I truly believe that if our military and political leaders in recent times had studied this work of genius, Vietnan could not have happened as it happened; we would not have lost the war in Korea [we lost it because we did not achieve victory]; the Bay of Pigs could not have come to pass; the British Empire would not have been dismembered; and, in all probability, World Wars I and II would have been avoided..."
