About this title

Review

"Lead, Follow or Get Out of the Way, Sun Tzu's The Art of War is undisputedly one of the bestselling leadership books of all time." - Publishers Weekly "a book that celebrates cunning by arguing that the way to win is by always doing the opposite of what your opponent expects. Sun Tzu gave birth to a long tradition that believed strategic goals could often best be achieved by avoiding the destructive uncertainty of pitched battle." - The Economist Written in China more than two thousand years ago, this book tells of cunning military strategies and operations that went into some of the most brilliantly executed maneuvers in Asian warfare. These insights serve as an excellent guide to strategy, tactics and success in the world of business." - CEO.com, 24 Leadership Books To Read Before You Die "For business leaders, reading The Art of War is a rite of passage; quoting from it is de rigueur." - Gregory Beyer, The Huffington Post
