As Sun Tzu teaches, aggression and response in kind can lead only to destruction--we must learn to work with conflict in a more profound and effective way. Crucial to this strategic vision is knowledge--especially self-knowledge--and a view of the whole that seeks to bring the conflicting ideas around to a larger perspective. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe techniques and instructions discussed in \u003ci\u003eThe Art of War\u003c\/i\u003e apply to competition and conflict on every level, from the interpersonal to the international. A study of the anatomy of forces in conflict, it has been discovered by modern businesspeople who understand the principles it contains are as useful for understanding the interactions of modern corporations as they are for understanding the tactics of ancient Chinese armies. Its aim is invincibility, victory without battle, and unassailable strength through an understanding of the physics, politics, and psychology of conflict. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThomas Cleary's translation is a breakthrough achievement that has been a gold standard among translations for three decades, offering the complete text in eminently readable prose with short commentaries by other ancient Chinese strategists and philosophers interwoven throughout.
