The Art of War and The Prince now available as Paradox ebooks!

[Tomas H]

Let the grand masters of old lead the way when you experience Europa Universalis IV! To celebrate the new Conquest of Paradise expansion, Paradox Books has released its own editions of two timeless classic works of war and politics: The Art of War by Sun Tzu and The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli. These books are both in the public domain, but they have been given new prefaces by senior staff members of Paradox Development Studio. Both books are available in the Apple iBookstore now: The Art of War and The Prince.

excellent timing, for all those people who do not, in fact, sun tzu, bro: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?747993-Expansion-Methodology-1.4

Also really nice, since this was something I like about games in the past. Microprose gave me my first copy of The Prince back in the 90s when it came with a copy of a re-packaged "Merchant Price" known as "Machiavelli: the Prince." Bit of a misnomer but excellent nonetheless.

Why not complete the trinity and include Clausewitz?

What translations are these? From your comment about the public domain, I presume they're fairly old (i.e., pre 1922) translations, but I'm curious which version you're using.

For The Art of War we use the translation by Lionel Giles and for The Prince it's the one by W. K. Marriott. Yes, both are pre-1922.

Yes, we might do this. We have actually released our first titles in print (the recent novels for Magicka and War of the Roses) and we will do more as we move ahead.

If you've never read either, I strongly recommend reading both. They will change the way you approach problem solving. I have two different editions of the Prince and four of the Art of War, including a pocket sized version.

Or Vegetius?

Sorry for the necrothreadmancy, but what happened to The Prince? I can't find it anymore
