About the book
The Art of War is an ancient Chinese book on warfare, traditionally said to be the work of Sun Tzŭ, a general of the 5th century BCE. It is short and practical. It opens by saying that the art of war is of vital importance to the State, and it teaches that the best general wins through planning, deception and knowledge of himself and the enemy, and if possible without fighting at all.
