The definitive translation of Sun-tzu's timeless classic of military strategy, Art of WarArt of War is almost certainly the most famous study of strategy ever written and has had an extraordinary influence on the history of warfare. The principles Sun-tzu expounded were utilized brilliantly by such great Asian war leaders as Mao Tse-tung, Giap, and Yamamoto. First translated two hundred years ago by a French missionary, Sun-tzu's Art of War has been credited with influencing Napoleon, the German General Staff, and even the planning for Desert Storm. Many Japanese companies make this book required reading for their key executives. And increasingly, Western businesspeople and others are turning to the Art of War for inspiration and advice on how to succeed in competitive situations of all kinds. Unlike most editions of Sun-tzu currently available (many simply retreads of older, flawed translations), this superb translation makes use of the best available classical Chinese manuscripts, including the ancient "tomb text" version discovered by archaeologists at Linyi, China. Ralph Sawyer, an outstanding Western scholar of ancient Chinese warfare and a successful businessman in his own right, places this classic work of strategy in its proper historical context. Sawyer supplies a portrait of Sun-tzu's era and outlines several battles of the period that may have either influenced Sun-tzu or been conducted by him. While appreciative of the philosophical richness of the Art of War, this edition stresses Sun-tzu's practical origins and presents a translation that is both accurate and accessible.

Great little handbag, especially for the price. Must buy!
Color: Coffee
I am very pleased with this little bag. I wanted to try out a smaller bag to see if I want to invest in a high-end designer bag that is about this size. I still wanted a trial bag that looked kind of posh, but casual. This bag is excellent. The leather is very fine. The hardware is sturdy and of good quality. It just looks like you paid way more for it than you did.
I can fit a small bi-fold wallet, my way too big keychain, a lippie, and my eye drops. I think, if I wanted to cram, I could get my Samsung S22 in there as well. But I usually have that out anyway.
This isn't a day bag. It is more for running errands when you don't want to be carrying a big, heavy bag around.
I think I will get the designer bag. But I'm definitely keeping this one, too.

Supper quality
Looks great. Looks like real leather. Large but doesn’t look it. Holds my small purse/wallet perfectly I can easily take it out of the purse and use the small purse for yoga and other events I don’t need a large purse for. Exactly what I needed. I love it.
