As the People's Republic continues its seemingly unstoppable ascent to economic and military power, the need for a deeper understanding of Chinese strategic thought by the West has never been more pressing. In his book, "Deciphering Sun Tzu," Derek Yuen aims to reclaim for the reader the hidden contours and lost Chinese and Taoist contexts of Sun Tzu's renowned treatise, "The Art of War." This literary classic, widely regarded as one of the most influential books ever written, has profound historical, philosophical, strategic, and cross-cultural significance. Through a comprehensive analysis of Sun Tzu based on close reading of Chinese sources, Yuen reconstructs the philosophy, Taoist methodology, and worldview that form the cornerstone of Chinese strategic thinking, which are arguably as relevant today as at any point in history.
Yuen's innovative approach to reading and analyzing Sun Tzu within and from a Chinese context offers a fresh perspective on the strategic master's main concepts, comparing them with those of renowned Western strategists such as Clausewitz, Liddell-Hart, and others. "Deciphering Sun Tzu" provides illuminating analysis and contextualization of "The Art of War," a resource that Western readers have long sought, and opens up new avenues for gaining a deeper grasp of Chinese strategic thought.
