Sun Tzu, also known as Sun Wu or Sunzi, was an ancient Chinese military strategist believed to be the author of the acclaimed military text, The Art of War. Details about Sun Tzu s background and life are uncertain, although he is believed to have lived c. 544-496 BCE. Through The Art of War, Sun Tzu s theories and strategies have influenced military leaders and campaigns throughout time, including the samurai of ancient and early-modern Japan, and more recently Ho Chi Minh of the Viet Cong and American generals Norman Swarzkopf, Jr. and Colin Powell during the Persian Gulf War in the 1990s.
John S. Bowman, the author of the preface, majored in English literature at Harvard University and did his graduate studies at Trinity College at the University of Cambridge and the University of Munich. After some years in New York publishing, starting with Story Magazine, he has been an independent editor and author, involved in a wide spectrum of publishing projects. His many edited volumes include The Cambridge Dictionary of American Biography and the Columbia Chronicles of Asian History and Culture. His own works include The Quest for Atlantis, Diamond.c in the Rough, and Shaker Style.
THE ART OF WAR
VERY LITTLE IS POSITIVELY KNOWN ABOUT SUN TZU.
The only ancient Chinese biography was written some four centuries after he lived; there Sun Tzu is described as belonging to the Chinese aristocracy that no longer owned much land, so he became a mercenary. The only fixed date we have for him is 512 B.C., when he was purportedly hired by a king of Wu, one of China’s then warring states, to serve as a general; allegedly, he was so successful that Wu conquered the powerful state of Chu, at which point Sun Tzu seems to vanish from history. But he is credited with having composed his military treatise even before 512 B.C. - a work titled Bing Fa , which might be literally translated as ¡°military methods¡± or ¡°army procedures¡± but which has come to be known as The Art of War.

看過《百戰經典》後。決定看看《孫子兵法》,很佩服這些先祖們,通過自己的智慧和經驗,總結瞭這些將來戰場上,常常齣現的對戰方法,以及對戰心理。我最欣賞其中的‘謀攻篇’。 21世紀瞭麼,人與人之間,勝負的關鍵,便是生活閱曆的纍積,以及孫子兵法中對經驗教訓的總結
評分現在電影、小說,為瞭吸引眼球,總是描寫一些少勝多,弱勝強的傳奇故事。長期在這種環境下耳濡目染,還真以為少能勝多,弱能勝強。曆史上那些類似的傳奇事件,看似偶然,背後都有其必然性。隻是錶麵上弱或者整體上弱,但在局部上是有優勢的,而往往這種優勢對於全局的勝敗具有...
評分《孫子兵法》是本好書,很可惜本人文言文知識薄弱,不能盡會其意(文言文每個字的信息量普遍要比白話文大得多)。但每隔一兩年讀它都有新的體悟。本文試圖將《孫子兵法》中的思想抽象剝離,讓它們能運用在日常生活中。 《孫子兵法》充滿瞭想象力,顛覆瞭思維定勢。以迂為直,後...
評分當我在從事技術行業的時候,我看孫子兵法,它是一本指導戰爭的理論書; 當我從事銷售的時候,我看孫子兵法,它是一本傳授銷售思想的書; 當我瞭解項目管理以後,我看孫子兵法,它是一本提供項目管理指導的書; 當我經曆瞭更多的人更多的事情以後,我看孫子兵法,它是一本教你怎麼做好各個...
