Written between 500 BCE and 700 CE, these seven texts have inspired generals for millennia, both in China and the wider world. Featuring Sun Tzu's The Art of War, this new translation brings to light the military masterpieces of ancient China. These seven texts display an understanding of strategy and warfare still relevant more than 2,000 years after they were originally written. Together, they present a uniquely eastern tradition of warfare that emphasizes speed, stealth, and cunning.

This collection includes:
• The Art of War
• Wuzi
• Wei Liaozi
• Taigong's Six Secret Teachings
• The Methods of the Sima
• Questions and Replies Between Emperor Taizong of Tang and General Li Jing.
