Publisher's Foreword
Lionel Giles' ground-breaking 1910 edition of Sun Tzu's ancient treatise on the Art of War was nothing short of a scholarly masterpiece. It contains the original Chinese text, an accurate and fancy-free yet highly readable translation, extensive annotations by both ancient Chinese commentators and Giles himself, and a vast introduction to provide an indepth historical perspective to it all. Despite not having become the final word on Art of War translations, this now public domain text of a brilliant Orientalist remains an ideal yardstick against which other translations can be measured.
This edition aims to offer the reader the full Lionel Giles

    Written by Chinese tactician Sun Tzu, the Art of War presents the basic principles of warfare and gives military leaders advice and instructions on when and how to fight. The Art of War is written in a very simple and direct manner. Sun Tzu’s work can easily be grasped and his principles understood. There is however a strong sense of morality required to achieving success with these principles. Approached in a holistic and integrated way, each principle is interlocked with the others to form a sum greater than its parts in a direct and concise…

    The Art of War was published by a Chinese military general named Sun Tzu during the Warring States period between 403-221 BCE. Sun Tzu’s The Art of War has been translated and published in English multiple times in the 20th century; the most notable translations were published in 1910 by Lionel Giles and in 1971 by Samuel B. Griffith. Giles’ original translation of The Art of War serves as this paper’s reference point due to the fact that Griffith’s rendition only adds insightful commentary and minor revisions regarding the choice of words used in Giles’ work. This paper will briefly discuss The Art of War’s significance regarding the meanings and effects that the document intends to invoke in its readers. Additionally, there will be a succinct discussion suggesting that modern Chinese military doctrine, within the specific context of Mao Zedong’s People 's War doctrine, is largely inspired by ideals presented in Sun Tzu’s Art of War…

    For Sun Tzu was “a leader” in his nation that believed that a great leader “leads by example and not by force,” which made his fellow leaders and state citizens have some doubts about him. (31) Sun Tzu believed that a peaceful leader who acts right will create a cause that his people will follow, but this shows weakness to fellow leaders who wanted to lead by power and force. The relations with people would produce an improvement in society and how even leaders can be a mockingbirds that care for its people. He also came to the conclusion that if a leader negotiates, then wars can be fought without causalities. His teachings spreading, Sun Tzu showing the others leaders that “an enemy's resistance can be often broken without armed conflict.” (30) This quote by Sun Tzu brought the ideas that if a leader acted as a smart and peaceful leader to his people and people of other allegiances, he could wage war without fighting, yet win and benefit all the people. He wanted to help everyone, even if they didn't fall under the same governing power. Sun Tzu was a revolutionary in peace even though he was a strategist and general of war because he believed in a better way to improve his world and nation without a war of death, but rather a war of wit. “Sun Tzu advocates maintaining a strong defense” which will protect his people without violence, “and forming alliances with neighboring states,” to promote peace through the land.(30) Showing the world that if a leader could wage violence, Sun Tzu was be friendly or neutral with his neighbors, causing that nation would be successful with little fighting done, but he was a realist who needed to leave his nation protected.

    Sun Tzu has developed a tactics on how to handle war properly with strategy and tactics. In his book Sun Tzu about the art of war I learned a lot of techniques on how to wage and win a war. He elaborated a lot of ways how to defeat our enemy but for me not all of his writings about war are applicable knowing that time and situation are changing. For me there are no external wisdom can tell us how to act because even previous successful models and theories are not effective anymore in the realities of the present scenario. But still I learned a lot from Sun Tzu like how to become a good and effective general I can relate this on my affiliation as an officer in JSWAP and as a class president because as a leader we should make strategy or plans that will help us achieved our goals. Like being a general they must be wise enough to create, organize and train their soldiers in order defeat there enemy. There are certain guidelines and rules which Sun Tzu developed based on his experienced on war.…
