Description: Seven Military Classics of Ancient China, Paperback by Sawyer, Ralph D. (TRN); Sawyer, Mei-Chun (CON), ISBN 0465003044, ISBN-13 9780465003044, Brand New, Free shipping in the US The Seven Military Classics is one of the most profound studies of warfare ever written, a stanchion in sinological and military history. It presents an Eastern tradition of strategic thought that emphasizes outwitting ones opponent through speed, stealth, flexibility, and a minimum of force -- an approach very different from that stressed in the West. Safeguarded for centuries by the ruling elite of imperial China, even in modern times these writings have been known only to a handful of Western specialists.
This volume contains seven separate essays, written between 500 BCE and 700 CE, that preserve the essential tenets of strategy distilled from the experience of the most brilliant warriors of ancient China.
