The Art of War
Sun TzuSpring & Autumn Period
The supreme classic of military strategy, ancestor to all treatises on the art of war. All thirteen chapters cover strategy, tactics, intelligence, and espionage — applied not only in warfare but widely in business and the game of life.
The art of war is of vital importance to the State. It is a matter of life and death, a road either to safety or to ruin.
