Features: The War States Strategy is a collection of discourses by strategists and various individuals during the Warring States period, discussing state affairs and current events. Previous editions were organized by state, but this version breaks from the conventional arrangement, organizing the content chronologically and centered around the strategists. As a result, instead of fragmented accounts of individual strategists, this edition groups the deeds of the same strategist together, providing a more comprehensive understanding of the strategist class. This book is part of The New Century Classic Readings in Ancient History, selecting representative chapters from The War States Strategy and categorizing and commenting on them from a unique perspective and with an innovative arrangement. The entire book is rich in references, with concise annotations and insightful critiques, making it highly readable.
