ABOUT THE BOOK
fjrigjwwe9r0pp_Books:Description
Sun Tzu wrote `The Art of War` in China 2500 years ago. It
is the earliest known treatise on the subject of war which has never been
surpassed in comprehensiveness and depth of understanding.
Even today this book is considered to be the most concentrated
essence of wisdom on war and also the source of all Chinese strategic and
tactical doctrines.
For the rapid and uninterrupted economic growth of a vast
country like India there is an indispensable need of a strong and robust
defence establishment with an effective mechanism to ward off frequent and
multifarious threats imposed upon us due to the geo-strategic nature of our
country having vast frontiers, live international borders and long vulnerable
sea coasts.
If our political rulers, bureaucrats, and military
commanders study this systematic treatise on the successful conduct of war, it
could help our country to not only overcome the present security challenges but
also effectively steer it through turbulent times ahead.
