⁷ Because of the different systems used in numbering sections of the original text, references given below to the two principal English translations (Griffith's volume under review and Giles, SanTzu on the Art of War, London, 1910)Google Scholar are to pages. References to Mao's, writings are to Selected Military Writings of Mao Tse-tung (Peking, 1963)Google Scholar.

⁹ Translation as given in Selected Military Writings, 86. Griffith's version, taken from Mao, Selected Works, I, 187, differs slightly. Still another reference to this axiom of Sun Tzu as a “scientific truth” appears in Mao's On Protracted War of May 1938 (Selected Military Writings, 238).

¹⁰ In English, the most convenient body of material is that edited by the Foreign Languages Press, Selected Military Writings of Mao Tse-tung (Peking, 1963), which contains twenty-nine important speeches, articles, and directives covering the period from October 1928 to April 1949. In Chinese, a useful selection of passages from Mao's writings dealing with military affairs has been prepared by the Honan branch of the China Historical Society in its periodical, Shixue yuekan (Shih-hsueh yueh-k'an), published at Kaifeng by the Honan People's Publishing Company. References on “war” appear in part 4 of the compilation, Shixue yuekan. No. 2, February 1959, 19–33.
