The landmark translation, based on the “Linyi text” that predates all previous versions by 1,000 years.

“There is no doubt that J. H. Huang’s new translation of Sun-tzu will be valuable to scholars of military art for many years to come. . . . An important work.” — General H. Norman Schwarzkopf

“The Linyi verion of Sun-tzu provides a fresh new interpretation of Sun-tzu’s classic works. As the oldest version yet discovered, it lays strong claim to the closet adherence of Sun-tzu’s true intent.” — General David W. Barno

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.

My Trade: A Short History of British Journalism

Book Saves Ltd — Tue, 20 Jun 2023 11:06:31 +0000

How do you decide what is a ‘story’ and what isn’t? What does a newspaper editor actually do all day? How do hacks get their scoops? How do the TV stations choose their news bulletins? How do you persuade people to say those awful, embarassing things? Who earns what? How do journalists manage to look in the mirror after the way they sometimes behave? The purpose of this insider’s account is to provide an answer to all these questions and more. Andrew Marr’s brilliant, and brilliantly funny, book is a guide to those of us who read newspapers, or who listen to and watch news bulletins but want to know more. Andrew Marr tells the story of modern journalism through his own experience. This is an extremely readable and utterly unique modern social history of British journalism, with all its odd glamour, smashed hopes and future possibility.
