Zusammenfassung:For more than two thousand years strategists in China have followed a single, coherent system of military principles and teachings. This book tells how those principles and teachings first crystallized into the treatise attributed to Sun Tzu, how they were honed by generals and rulers in the centuries that followed, and how they guide the decision-making of China's military and political leaders to this day. Supported by a new translation of Sun Tzu's classic, the author analyses what the application of that ancient system of thought bodes for military strategy in Taiwan, the South China Sea and the western Pacific.
