Sun Tzu's Art of War has been vastly influential in the east since China's Warring States Period (403 BC - 221 BC). And though its first translation into a European language was only in 1782, the book's significance was quickly recognized; and even such towering figures of Western history as Napoleon and General Douglas MacArthur have claimed it as a source of inspiration. Pax Librorum (www.PaxLibrorum.com) now brings readers this restored and highly accessible unannotated edition of Lionel Giles' definitive translation of this enduring masterpiece.《孙子兵法》自中国战国时期（公元前403年-公元前221年）起在东方产生了巨大的影响。尽管第一次翻译成欧洲语言是在1782年，但这本书的意义很快就被认识到了；甚至像拿破仑和道格拉斯·麦克阿瑟将军这样的西方历史伟人也声称这是灵感的源泉。和平图书馆(www.PaxLibrorum.com)现在带给读者这个修复和高度可访问的莱昂内尔吉尔斯的这一永恒的杰作的权威翻译未注版本。
