The Art of War: A New Translation by Michael Nylan

Sun Tzus book of strategy and psychology has as much to tell us today as when it was written 2,500 years ago. Michael Nylan, in her provocative introduction, sees new and unexpected lessons to be learned from The Art of Warin business, relationships, games of skill, academic careers and medical practices. Strategy, like conflict, is woven into societys very roots.

Nylans crisp translation offers a masterly new evaluation of this classic work, which balances the overtly military content with a profound and thought-provoking analysis (Olivia Milburn). It proves that Sun Tzu is more relevant than ever, helping us navigate the conflicts we know and those we have yet to endure.
