A military treatise summing up the military experiences prior to and during the mid-Warring States period (475 BC – 221 BC).
Two editions of translations were released, and this publication includes everything:
- The 15 chapters of part 1 released in 1985
- The additional chapter released in 1985
-
The 15 chapters from 1975’s Part II, which were excised for that 1985 edition.
If this is what I think it is, then I first read this as The Second Art of War and found it a much better read than its predecessor. I was never able to find a book with that title.
- aka Sun Bin: The Art of War
- This is a two-book hardcover which also has the original/earlier The Art of War – (~476 BC book), by Sunzi
- Published 2000-01-01
- ISBN-10 7119024124
- ISBN-13 978-7119024127

Note: I’ve read the author died in 310 BC, and I haven’t seen a more accurate date for this book.
- p.21 – Sunzi and Sun Bin lived more than 160 years apart.

A military treatise from Ancient China’s late Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 B.C.).
Like The Prince – (1910 book), by Niccolò Machiavelli, people have interpreted this text for all manner of uses such as the business world.
This is a dual language (Chinese-English) hardcover edition which was translated in China itself, as opposed to being one of the various foreign-made translations.
