This book is a must-read for those who really
want to understand Sun Tzu's text. It is the only book that shows the secret diagrams from traditional Chinese science used by Sun Tzu to construct his system and to explain the metaphors and Chinese concepts invisible in English translations of the 2,500-year-old classic. It includes an in-depth discussion and a glossary of key Chinese concepts.
The book is really two books in one. Its introduction explains the
discovery of the secret diagrams that simplify the complex ideas in
Sun Tzu’s competitive system. After this introduction, the left-hand
pages show the complete text of The Art of War while the facing
right-hand pages explain that text in terms of Sun Tzu’s original Chinese
concepts, symbols,
metaphors, and diagrams.
