The two Chinese classics that this volume consists of Wu Zi's 'Art of War' and 'Conversations with Tang Taizong' were written a thousand years apart. However, the latter carries regular references to the former, and the principles of warfare, leadership, strategy and organisation were themes eagerly discussed throughout Chinese history. Even a cursory reading of these books provides ample reasons why General Wu Zi, who lived in the earlier part of the Warring States period (475-221 BC) never lost a battle in his life, and why Emperor Taizong managed to found the long-lasting Tang Dynasty (AD 618-906) that southern Chinese still proudly refer to as the basis of their culture. Today, centuries later, these master strategists still overwhelm us with their insights and words of wisdom.
