Sun Tzu’s Art of War
Abstract
Sun Tzu’s Art of War is reputed to be the oldest military treatise among the Chinese classic works. The obsession of this book among world leaders, not only to those with military interests at heart, is due to the fact that the principles shared by the Art of War can be applied to a limitless facet of one’s life, provided one is creative or innovative enough.
The Art of War is a book which lays down the basic principles of warfare and gives military leaders advice on when and how to fight. It remains relevant even today to a wide spectrum of readers of varying background, as the book highlights strategy and tactics, rather than specific warfare technology.
