The great leaders of ancient China who were trained in Sun Tzu's principles understood how war is waged successfully—both materially and mentally—and how victory and defeat follow clear social, psychological, and environmental laws. Drawing on episodes from the panorama of Chinese history, Mastering the Art of War presents practical summaries of these essential laws along with tales of conflict and strategy that show in concrete terms the proper use of Sun Tzu's principles. The book also examines the social and psychological aspects of organization and crisis management. The translator's introduction surveys the Chinese philosophies of war and conflict and explores in depth the parallels between The Art of War and the oldest handbook of strategic living, the I Ching ( Book of Changes ). Review: Who knew this book was out there? - I must confess, I was ignorant that any of the great warlord Zhuge Liang's work still existed today. Imagine my surprise then, in typing the name into desertcart and coming up with this work. Needless to say, the price was right, and so I ordered it. I was not disappointed! While I cannot say that Zhuge Liang did not lift his thoughts from another more ancient writer (I am certainly not the scholar of Chinese literature that I claim to be!), nonetheless, his thoughts are quite clear on the right (and more importantly, WRONG) ways of leading an army, and indeed, these words can be applied to other situations. In particular, pay attention to the essay "The virtues and faults of the great general", which I think is a lesson for ANY walk of life. Also, the writing of Liu Pi are collected here, but I must say that the reader probably wants familiarity with the intrigues of the "Three Kingdoms" at this point. Still, with so many nuggets of wisdom to be found, and at this price, you would be foolish not to pick this up, and three kingdom fans may also broaden their own knowledge. Review: Great book! - This book, on the Art of War, has touched on every detail of different tactics that were used during some of the chaotic periods of ancient China. This is an excellent book to applied on military and in everyday life. This book has not only explained the genius of behind winning with intelligent, but also touched on different psychological states to determine a winning or losing battle. Of course, we are living in an era of consumerism, which driven the economic forces for stability and social order, and everyone wants a piece of market to make a great fortune. Therefore, this is one of the best books that can definitely applied to making that fortune in this market-economic-social-structure! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #595,412 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #810 in Military Strategy History (Books) #2,199 in Eastern Philosophy (Books) #2,607 in Philosophy Movements (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 91 Reviews | ## Images ![Mastering the Art of War: Commentaries on Sun Tzu's Classic (Shambhala Dragon Editions) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/817qTo1qAML.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Who knew this book was out there? *by A***S on September 7, 2003* I must confess, I was ignorant that any of the great warlord Zhuge Liang's work still existed today.

It seems that several folks were under the impression that they were reading Sun Tzu's " The Art Of War". You WILL find differences between Sun Tzu's book And Zhuge Liang's. Zhuge Liang was quite a different person than Sun Tzu. For insights into what kind of a person, you should read Chronicles of the three Kingdoms and Romance of the Three Kingdoms. You'll find that Zhuge Liang does not enjoy war quite as much as Sun Tzu but he is just as good at it(I'd say Better). --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/26381080-mastering-the-art-of-war-commentaries-on-sun-tzus-classic](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/26381080-mastering-the-art-of-war-commentaries-on-sun-tzus-classic) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-01*
