The Art of War
Summary
The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words. Aidan Gillen - who has learned a thing or two about strategy through his roles as skilled manipulator Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish (Game of Thrones) and ambitious politician Tommy Carcetti (The Wire) - brilliantly performs this ancient classic. His experience in portraying insightful and, at times, cunning characters makes him a natural fit for this ancient collection of battlefield epigrams whose influence has grown tremendously in the modern world.

L'art de la guerre
Summary
L'art de la guerre est le premier traité de stratégie militaire écrit au monde (VIe siècle av. J.-C). Son auteur, Sun Tzu développe des thèses originales qui s'inspirent de la philosophie chinoise ancienne. C'est l'essence de la guerre psychologique. L'ouvrage est fondé sur le principe suivant : gagner ou perdre une guerre ne se fait pas par hasard, ni par l'intervention des dieux ou des esprits. C'est une question de méthode et de stratégie. De bons principes stratégiques conduisent à la victoire, il est donc important de les étudier. Ces principes stratégiques sont appliqués au domaine militaire, mais peuvent l'être aussi à celui des affaires, de la politique ou de la société. Ce classique apparaît très actuel et moderne par ses enseignements psychologiques valables en tout temps.

The Strategy Collection
Summary
The Art of War, The Prince, and The Book of Five Rings are three historical pieces that deal with strategy. The Art of War is an ancient Chinese military treatise, and each chapter within the treatise is devoted to a distinct aspect of warfare and how that applies to military strategy and tactics. The Art of War remains the most influential strategy text in East Asian warfare and has had a profound influence on East Asian and Western military thinking, business tactics, legal strategy, and beyond. Machiavelli composed The Prince as a practical guide for ruling an empire. Within his treatise, Machiavelli aims to provide strategies on how to govern a nation, conquest of new territories, and dealing with integration of the peoples of new territories. Machiavelli also lays out his strategy for defense, military, and the qualities a prince should have to govern properly. The Book of Five Rings is a Japanese text that has been regarded as a treatise on the strategy for winning. The five chapters, "rings", refer to the idea that there are different elements of battle, just as there are different physical elements in life. The Book of Five Rings was known as the holy grail for samurai; it lays out strategy on how to defeat an enemy by using tactics such as throwing them off guard and creating confusion, among other techniques.

The Art of War
Summary
Written before Alexander the Great was born, this Chinese treatise on war has become one of the most influential works on the subject. Read widely in the east since its appearance 2,500 years ago, The Art of War first came to the west with a French Jesuit in 1782. It has been studied by generals from Napoleon to Rommel, and it is still required reading in most military academies of the world. Although it was meant to be a practical guide to warfare in the age of chariots, many corporate and government leaders have successfully applied its lessons to battles in the modern dog-eat-dog world. Sun Tzu covers all aspects of war in his time, from strategy and tactics to the proper use of terrain and spies. In this version, Sun Tzu's lessons are brought to life with commentaries from ancient Chinese history, which illustrate both the philosophy and the principles of his teachings.

L'art de la guerre [The Art of War]
Summary
Sun Tzu dit : La guerre est d’une importance vitale pour l’État. C’est le domaine de la vie et de la mort : la conservation ou la perte de l’empire en dépendent ; il est impérieux de bien le régler. Ne pas faire de sérieuses réflexions sur ce qui le concerne, c’est faire preuve d’une coupable indifférence pour la conservation ou pour la perte de ce qu’on a de plus cher, et c’est ce qu’on ne doit pas trouver parmi nous. Please note: This audiobook is in French.

Sh!t Sun Tzu Said: Classic Warfare for the Modern Mind
Summary
Sun Tzu was a famous Chinese general whose mastery of strategy was so exceptional that he reportedly transformed 180 courtesans into skilled soldiers in a single training session. While that episode was likely exaggerated, historians agree that Sun Tzu defeated the Ch’u, Qi, and Chin states for King Ho-Lu, forging his empire. In 510 BC, Master Tzu recorded his winning strategies in The Art of War, the earliest surviving and most revered tome of its kind. With methods so powerful they can conquer an adversary’s spirit, you can use Master Tzu’s strategies to overcome any challenge, from warfare to self-defense to business negotiations. This book starts with the classic 1910 translation of The Art of War, adds modern and historical insight, and demonstrates how to put the master’s timeless wisdom to use in your everyday life. In this fashion, The Art of War becomes accessible for the modern mind, simultaneously entertaining, enlightening, and practical.
