Art of the Warrior Leadership and Strategy from the Chinese Military Classics - Shambhala Dragon Editions Author: Ralph D. Sawyer From antiquity, the history of China has been marked by invading tribes, warring states, and popular uprisings.

Selections from these writings have been arranged thematically by the translator to give the reader a comprehensive introduction to the Eastern way of strategy.  « less Post This Book Login | Register ISBN-13: 9781570621635 ISBN-10: 1570621632 Publication Date: 9/17/1996 Pages: 304 Rating: Currently 0/5 Stars.   ? 0 stars, based on 0 rating Publisher: Shambhala Book Type: Paperback Members Wishing: 0 Reviews: Amazon | Write a Review
