This work, the writings of Suntzu and Wutzu, Chinese Strategists of
about the 5th century B.C., is the most famous work on the art of war
in the Far East. It deals with operations of war, statecraft, moral
and training of troops, stratagem, the use of spies, etc., and for 25
centuries it has been the Bible of the Chinese or Japanese ruler. The
book is distinguished alike by the poetry and grandeur of its language
and the modernity of its spirit.

NELSON AND OTHER NAVAL STUDIES. By James R. Thursfield. With

"Few other writers except Mahan possess Mr. Thursfield's faculty of
combining the romance of the sea with the science of naval warfare, and
in both alike the cult of Nelson gives life and warmth to their
studies.... The merit of Mr. Thursfield's writing is the firm hold
which he has of the central principles of a maritime defensive policy.
His writing is effective, and at times even brilliant; but this it is
which gives it force and lucidity."--Westminster Gazette.
