‎"Few things might seem as unlikely as ancient Chinese warriors rising up in modern American business schools, corporate boardrooms, and Hollywood movies, but there they are. The rise of the new China, the power of the global marketplace, the intensification of international competition and rivalry – all of these elements of contemporary affairs may contribute in some way to present-day interest in ancient classics of strategy and conflict management. ... One of the most important functions of strategic literature in the public domain today, therefore, may be to enhance the general understanding of power and its uses and abuses. By understanding power ... it is possible to objectively and truthfully assess the operation if the world we live in. " – from the introduction. In 1972, “The Lost Art of War” was discovered in an ancient Chinese tomb. The first complete manuscript ever found from the legendary military strategist Sun Tzu II (commonly known as Sun Bin, a lineal descendent of the great Sun Tzu), this sophisticated manual delves even deeper than “The Art of War” into the complex principles and practices of organizations, tactical formation, strategic maneuvering, and adaptation. Like those of his distinguished ancestor, Sun Tzu II's insights and strategies can be applied to life situations far beyond warfare – including government, diplomacy, business, relationships, and social action. Renowned scholar Thomas Cleary, universally praised for his ability to capture the often cryptic meanings of Chinese texts, has masterfully translated the subtle and challenging original text of “The Lost Art of War” and has contemporized Sun Tzu II's strategic insights with his own illuminating and accessible commentary. An ancient version of Sun Tzu's “The Art of War” was also found in the tomb, which differs significantly from previously known editions. Thus, Cleary additionally offers a fascinating analysis comparing the teachings of “The Lost Art of War” to those of the classic “The Art of War” as it is presented in this newly discovered version. Sun Tzu II draws on other traditions of strategic thinking while extending the teachings of his ancestor... ‎

‎In de 5de eeuw v.Chr. schreef de Chinese generaal Sun Tzu zijn handboek The Art of War over oorlogsvoering en strategie n voor conflictbeheersing. Tegenwoordig worden zijn opvattingen nog vaak gebruikt in het bedrijfsleven. Hoewel zijn geschriften handelen over oorlog voeren, blijft zijn eerste uitgangspunt steeds het voorkomen van een gewelddadig conflict. Want conflicten en tegenstrijdige meningen hoeven niet problematisch te zijn, conflicten beslechten met geweld wel. Honderd overwinningen halen in honderd slagen is niet de hoogste uitmuntendheid; het leger van de vijand onderwerpen zonder strijd is de hoogste uitmuntendheid. - Sun Tzu in The Art of War Door de oorlog getekend toont hoe ook kunst als aanklacht tegen oorlog wordt ingezet. Kunstenaars uit verschillende tijden - van Otto Dix tot Pablo Picasso, van Francisco Goya tot Max Beckmann en Frans Masereel - verbeelden oorlog in al zijn vormen. De contexten zijn verschillend in inzet, schaalgrootte en aanleiding, maar het resultaat van geweld is gelijk: dood, verminking, vernieling,ontwrichte samenlevingen en rouw. Elke oorlog is anders, maar geweld vraagt steeds dezelfde offers. Met bijdragen van onder anderen Herman Van Rompuy, professor Frank van Vree, Peter Verlinden, Marie Bamutese, Jean Paul Van Bendegem en professor Luc De Vos. Zij reflecteren ieder vanuit hun eigen kennisdomein op de verschillende thema's die de kunstwerken uitbeelden.‎
