书籍简介

几乎可以肯定，《孙子兵法》是有史以来著名的战略研究著作，对战史产生了非凡的影响。​《孙子兵法》是在200年前由一位法国传教士翻译的，它被认为影响了拿破仑、德国总参谋部，甚至是“沙漠风暴”的策划。

许多日本公司都把这本书作为关键高管的书目。越来越多的西方商人和其他人开始从《孙子兵法》中寻求灵感和建议，以帮助他们在各种竞争环境中取得成功。不像目前大多数版本的《孙子》（许多版本只是对旧的、有缺陷的译本的翻新），这个极好的新译本利用了好的中国古典手稿，包括中国临沂考古学家发现的古代“墓葬文本”版本。

拉尔夫·索耶（Ralph Sawyer）是一位研究中国古代战争的杰出西方学者，也是一位成功的商人，他将这部经典的战略著作置于适当的历史背景中。索耶提供了孙子时代的画像，并概述了几场可能影响孙子或由他指挥的战争。在欣赏《孙子兵法》丰富的哲学内涵的同时，这个版本强调孙子的实际起源，并提供了一个既准确又易于理解的翻译。

The Art of War is almost certainly the most famous study of strategy ever written and has had an extraordinary influence on the history of warfare. ​ First translated two hundred years ago by a French missionary, Sun-tzu's Art of War has been credited with influencing Napoleon, the German General Staff, and even the planning for Desert Storm.

Many Japanese companies make this book required reading for their key executives. And increasingly, Western businesspeople and others are turning to the Art of War for inspiration and advice on how to succeed in competitive situations of all kinds. Unlike most editions of Sun-tzu currently available (many simply retreads of older, flawed translations), this superb new translation makes use of the best available classical Chinese manuscripts, including the ancient"tomb text” version discovered by archaeologists at Linyi, China.

Ralph Sawyer, an outstanding Western scholar of ancient Chinese warfare and a successful businessman in his own right, places this classic work of strategy in its proper historical context. Sawyer supplies a portrait of Sun-tzu's era and outlines several battles of the period that may have either influenced Sun-tzu or been conducted by him. While appreciative of the philosophical richness of the Art of War , this edition stresses Sun-tzu's practical origins and presents a translation that is both accurate and accessible.
