Book excerpt: Sun Tzu was the commander in chief of China's Kingdom of Wu and gave the world, what is perhaps considered a timeless classic work on strategy: The Art of War. This work aims to explore the mind of Sun Tzu and reveal the thinking behind the strategic principles that he propounded. To achieve this effect the author has cast himself back 2500 years in time.....back to the hut high in the mountains and deep in the forest where the ancient general chose to spend the final years of his life, spending his time reviewing the triumphs and defeats and inscribing his experiences onto bamboo strips. This book rediscovers these bamboo strips and reveals his secret reminisciences. The aim of this work is to fill the reader with insight into their relationships with others at every level from the personal to the multinational, as well as evoking the sense of time and place of China 2500 years ago.
