Features: A contemporary Chinese masterpiece translated, disseminated, and reviewed widely overseas; A precise prophecy of the "9·11" event explosion, titled "New Theory of War"; The most influential work since The Art of War, read as required outside class by cadets at the U.S. West Point Military Academy, known as the "Chinese Art of War"; A "New Strategic Bible" praised and admired by senior commanders of EU countries. The "total war" of the 20th century ushered in a new era of warfare. Once war breaks out, neither civilians nor soldiers are spared from its threat. The author of this book proposed the theory of "transcendent war," which has attracted high attention from countries around the world. "Transcendent war" is a novel concept encompassing both war and warfare. The author believes it is a way of warfare that can transcend limitations of strength and constraints, making it equally valuable and meaningful for both powerful and weaker nations. Whether one agrees with the author's views or not, this book is worth careful reading for anyone concerned with issues of war and globalization.
