Sun Tzu on the Art of War

author: Lionel Giles
pages: 197

This is what you have to read when you make a bet with a twelve year old boy. Actually wasn't a bad read, now I know how to win anything. :)

here is the inside cover blurb: These are the words of ancient Chinese philosopher Sun Tzu, whose now-classic treatise, The Art of War, was written more than 2,500 years ago. Originally a text for victory on the battlefield, the book has vastly transcended its original purpose.

Here is a seminal work on the philosophy of successful leadership that is as applicable to contemporary business as it is to war. Today many leading American business schools use the text as required reading for aspiring managers, and even Oliver Stone's award-winning film Wall Street cites The Art of War as a guide to those who strive for success.
