The Art of War, narrated!

“The Art of War” is a military treatise by the ancient Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu. Birth name Sun Wu (courtesy name Changqing), “Tzu” is a title meaning “Master”. Written in approximately 5th century BCE, the original work and the 1910 English translation by Lionel Giles (that this recording is based upon) are in the public domain. “To my brother Captain Valentine Giles, R.C. In the hope that a work 2400 years old may yet contain lessons worth consideration by the soldier of today, this translation is affectionately dedicated.”

Lionel Giles (1910)
