Chinese Martial Code by A Sadler

For millennia the classics of Chinese martial strategy have been studied and their lessons applied with devastating success by warlords and military generals and today this timeless advice is analysed as much for its application in the boardroom as on the battlefield - as thousands of Asian businessmen can attest. "Chinese Martial Code" provides clear, easy to follow translations of three of the most respected works on strategy in history, featuring a masterful translation of "The Art of War of Sun Tzu" - the most respected of all works of military strategy - as well as the less famous but equally wise "Precepts of Ssu Ma Jang Chu" and "Wu Chi On the Art of War". Additionally, A. L. Sadler's translation is converted here into Pinyin for the first time and the original Chinese language versions of these classic texts are also included, making this title a treasure to Chinese history and military scholars as well as those planning to use these time-tested strategies to conquer the business world.

For 26 years, A.L.Sadler was Professor of Oriental Studies and Professor of Japanese at the University of Sydney, as well as the Royal Military College of Australia. He returned to his native England after retiring from academics. In 1971, he passed away. Shogun: Tokugawa Ieyasu's Biography, A Short History of Japanese Architecture, Japanese Tea Ceremony: Cha-no-yu, A Short History of Japan, The Ten Foot Square Hut, and Tales of the Heike are some of his works.
