The Six Secret Teachings
Jiang Ziya was fishing with a straight hook when King Wen of Zhou found him and made him his strategist; together they overthrew the Shang. The Six Secret Teachings present his advice in sixty dialogues with King Wen and King Wu, arranged as the Civil, Martial, Dragon, Tiger, Leopard and Dog teachings. They range from the virtues of a ruler and the winning of the people's hearts to espionage, signals, siege weapons, chariots, cavalry, infantry and the use of terrain. One of the Seven Military Classics, it is the most comprehensive of them and the one most concerned with politics as the foundation of war. This complete new English translation gives all sixty chapters. Names are given in modern pinyin and technical terms are rendered plainly, so the text reads straight through in natural English, for students of strategy, history and leadership alike.
