About The Book
“The art of war is of vital importance to the State. It is a matter of life and death, a road to safety or ruin. Hence it is a subject of inquiry which can on no account be neglected.” The Art of War is an enduring classic that holds a special place in the culture and history of East Asia. An ancient Chinese text on the philosophy and politics of warfare and military strategy, the treatise was written in the 6th century B.C. by a warrior-philosopher now famous all over the world as Sun Tzu. Sun Tzu’s teachings remain as relevant to leaders and strategists today as they were to rulers and military generals in ancient times. Divided into thirteen chapters and written succinctly, The Art of War is a must-read for anybody who works in a competitive environment or who is interested in warfare, strategy, and Chinese history.
