The Art of War by Sun Tzu (Vintage Classics edition translated by Peter Harris)

This Vintage Classics edition presents The Art of War in Peter Harris’s English translation. It approaches Sun Tzu’s classical military treatise through its historical setting and the strategic questions raised by conflict.

Harris supplies an introduction and supporting material, including notes, a bibliography, a chronology of Chinese dynasties and a map, alongside extracts from classical commentators. The focus is strategy and historical interpretation, not a generic spiritual-practice manual.
