The Art of War is one of the most highly regarded military treatises ever written. Believed to be authored more than two thousand five hundred years ago by a Chinese military commander, strategist and philosopher named Sun Tzu, this masterpiece has been a must read among Chinese generals and rulers for generations.
The book is composed of 13 chapters, each devoted to one aspect of warfare. It is widely considered as the definitive work on military strategy of its time and greatly influenced subsequent military thinking across East Asia. Today, the teachings espoused in the book find applications not only in military contexts but also in other realms, such as business tactics, management strategy, politics, diplomacy and beyond.
