Sun-tzu's The Art of War is the classic work on strategic thinking. Throughout recorded history; Sun-tzu's wisdom; rules; and philosophy have been eagerly embraced by warriors; leaders; and gentle contemplators alike.This edition is an entirely new text based on manuscripts discovered in Linyi; China; in 1972 that predate all previous texts by as many as one thousand years. To better convey Sun-tzu's original intent; translator; researcher; and interpreter J. H. Huang traced the roots of the language to Sun-tzu's own time—before 221 b.c. In addition to his wonderfully clear interpretation; Huang gives readers an introduction to the history behind The Art of War; includes six appendices—five of which were uncovered at Linyi and are not available in any other edition—and offers his own insightful comments on the meaning of the text.

A major work of Jewish thoughtBy Shalom FreedmanThis is the major work of a major Jewish thinker. Professor Fackenheim was a man of great personal integrity; of great caring for the Jewish people ; and of great independance and strength as a thinker. His Jewish thought often involves a kind of midrashic like mediation on traditional texts; and often an abstract analysis in philosophical language.This work is difficult at times but strongly recommended for all those who wish to deepen their sense of the meaning of Jewish life and thought.
