The Art of War: A Graphic Novel

By Kelly Roman

Book Overview

The military philosophies of the ancient Chinese general Sun Tzu are admired and studied to this day--and now Kelly Roman has used these timeless lessons on warfare to create The Art of War. This stunning two-color graphic novel has turned Sun Tzu's iconic military strategy text into an action-packed thriller set twenty years in the future, when Wall Street is militarized and China is the world's dominant economy. With more than three hundred illustrations by artist Michael DeWeese--who storyboarded the music video for the Lady Gaga hit Alejandro--this powerfully rendered Art of War integrates Sun Tzu's timeless battlefield and war room strategies with a compelling futuristic tale of action and vengeance, creating a sweeping adventure for graphic novel and comic book aficionados, science fiction readers, and anyone who has ever enjoyed a classic action movie or Kung Fu martial arts epic.
