Book Synopsis


Trade Review
The Dao of the Military makes a welcome addition to the growing literature on early Chinese strategy. The translation is exacting and felicitous. It should serve well for those interested in the history of Chinese thought and Chinese military thought. -- Victor H. Mair, University of Pennsylvania With its highly competent translation and penetrating analysis, this volume will be a valuable antidote to the widespread misapprehension that Sunzi's Art of War and Chinese military thought are essentially coterminous. -- David A. Graff Journal of Military History A valuable contribution to the field of Chinese military history. -- Kai Filipiak Monumenta Serica
