Sun Tzu’s ancient treatise on the art of war has exerted enormous influence over both Asian and Western soldiers, covering subjects ranging from morale and discipline to the correct use of spies. Despite questions about the historicity of the author, the text has stood the test of time and remains widely read by strategists, politicians, and even business leaders today.

Though Dr. Lionel Giles was not the first to translate Sun Tzu into English, he was the first to do so in a systematic and scholarly manner. His translation was unequaled until the mid-20th century, and remains relevant today due to his copious notes.

The Great Illusion challenges the deeply ingrained theory that military dominance secures national wealth and prosperity. Norman Angell argues that human development has reached a critical turning point where the traditional spoils of war—territory, trade, and tribute—are no longer attainable through force. In a global system defined by complex financial and commercial interdependence, a nation cannot capture the wealth of a rival without simultaneously destroying the credit-built foundation of its own economy. Angell doesn’t claim that military conflict is impossible, but rather that war is fundamentally futile for securing the material or moral needs of civilized societies.

Drawing on economic data, Angell demonstrates how the prosperity of small, militarily weak nations often surpasses that of great empires, concluding that raw political power is economically irrelevant. He explains how the modern intangibility of wealth and the autonomous nature of colonies render traditional empire-building an expensive, self-defeating endeavor. The book critiques early twentieth-century militarism and advocates for a global political reformation: one that replaces the destructive pursuit of military supremacy with international cooperation rooted in mutual economic self-interest.
