With introductions by Robert Wilkinson. The two political classics in this book are the product of a time of intense turmoil in Chinese history. Dating from the Period of the Warring States (403-221BC), they anticipate Machiavelli's The Prince by nearly 2000 years. The Art of War is the best known of a considerable body of Chinese works on the subject. It analyses the nature of war, and reveals how victory may be ensured. The Book of Lord Shang is a political treatise for the instruction of rulers. These texts are anything but armchair strategy or ivory-tower speculation. They are serious, urgent and practical responses to the desperate situations in which they were written. They have been immensely influential both inside and outside China.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"allbestus_search_terms_hide\"\u003e#ASTTD# Search Terms: Sun Tzu \/ Shang , Sun Tzu \/ Shang , Wordsworth , Wordsworth , World Literature , World Literature , 9781853267796 , 978-1-85326-779-6 , 69612\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Wordsworth","offers":[{"title":"Новый","offer_id":52751779004683,"sku":"PRODUCT_69612_ID","price":24.08,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/knigamir.ca\/products\/art-of-war-the-book-of-lord-shang","provider":"Knigamir.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
