Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

Written in 500 BC, The Art of War, by Sun Tzu, is the foremost war strategy manuscript. This book will teach you when to battle, when not to battle, how to battle, how not to battle, and how to win every time you battle.

Further key notions presented are: how to maintain an army, how to carry through a battle plan, how to gather intelligence, how to allocate resources, how to maintain high morale, how to weaken the enemy, how to deceive the opponent, and how to survive a battle.

Several prevalent strategies shared by Sun Tzu are:

- Battle if you are to win.

- Let your plans be dark as night, and when you move, fall as a thunderbolt.

- Appear weak when strong, and strong when weak.

- Successful warriors win first and then war. Defeated soldiers war first and then seek to win.

- All conflict is deception.

- Move swift as wind and solid as wood. Attack like fire and remain motionless as a mountain.

- Those who desire to battle must first consider the cost.

The Art of War can be divided into three sections and the first two chapters, plus the last chapter, explore strategies of positional awareness. The second section highlights methods to expand. And the third section explores strategies to respond offensively and defensively.

In the end, the strategies of Sun Tzu are basically an offensive-defensive order-maneuver before fighting, commit not until the opponent has revealed his hand, then deceive the enemy by engaging or attracting with one force while striking with another contingent.

The Art of War is a valuable read for every war strategist and it is categorized under 13 headings. Use this knowledge wisely.

- THE SPIRIT OF THE TROOPS

Notă biografică

Sun Tzu was a Chinese general, military strategist, writer and philosopher who lived in the Eastern Zhou period of ancient China. Sun Tzu is traditionally credited as the author of The Art of War, an influential work of military strategy that has affected both Western and East Asian philosophy and military thinking. His works focus much more on alternatives to battle, such as stratagem, delay, the use of spies and alternatives to war itself, the making and keeping of alliances, the uses of deceit and a willingness to submit, at least temporarily, to more powerful foes.[3] Sun Tzu is revered in Chinese and East Asian culture as a legendary historical and military figure. His birth name was Sun Wu (Chinese: ¿¿) and he was known outside of his family by his courtesy name Changqing (Chinese: ¿¿ The name Sun Tzu by which he is best known in the Western World is an honorific which means "Master Sun".
Sun Tzu's historicity is uncertain. The Han dynasty historian Sima Qian and other traditional Chinese historians placed him as a minister to King Helü of Wu and dated his lifetime to 544-496 BC. Modern scholars accepting his historicity place the extant text of The Art of War in the later Warring States period based on its style of composition and its descriptions of warfare.[4] Traditional accounts state that the general's descendant Sun Bin wrote a treatise on military tactics, also titled The Art of War. Since Sun Wu and Sun Bin were referred to as Sun Tzu in classical Chinese texts, some historians believed them identical, prior to the rediscovery of Sun Bin's treatise in 1972.
Sun Tzu's work has been praised and employed in East Asian warfare since its composition. During the twentieth century, The Art of War grew in popularity and saw practical use in Western society as well. It continues to influence many competitive endeavors in the world, including culture, politics, business and sports, as well as modern warfare.
