Показать описание

Audiobook (abridged) of "Art of War", by Sun Tzu (Master Sun). This military chinese treatise was published around 5th BC. Translation by Lionel Giles.

The abridged version does not include translator or editor notes. The Sun Tzu paragraphs are not cut.

Some notorious quotes:

- "All warfare is based on deception."

- "He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight."

- "Hence to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy’s resistance without fighting."

- "If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle."

- "Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt."

- "The art of war teaches us to rely not on the likelihood of the enemy's not coming, but on our own readiness to receive him; not on the chance of his not attacking, but rather on the fact that we have made our position unassailable."

- "Thus it is that in war the victorious strategist only seeks battle after the victory has been won, whereas he who is destined to defeat first fights and afterwards looks for victory."
