Sun-Tzu on the Art of War: The Oldest Military Treatise in the world

The English translation by Lionel Giles, the notes, as well as the original Chinese text found in the 1910 first edition are reproduced here. A Wade-Giles - Pinyin Conversion Chart has been added to make this classic more accessible to the modern Chinese language student. A second companion volume, which includes a Pinyin version of each chapter, is also available from the same publisher.
