The Art of War
by Sun Tzu
The Art of War is an ancient Chinese treatise on strategy, leadership and the intelligent management of conflict. Traditionally attributed to Sun Tzu, the text is organised around principles that emphasise preparation, adaptability, discipline and the importance of understanding both oneself and one’s opponent. Rather than celebrating conflict for its own sake, Sun Tzu repeatedly argues that the greatest success comes from achieving objectives with the least unnecessary struggle. He examines planning, terrain, timing, deception, leadership and the use of information. Although written in a military context, The Art of War has been studied far beyond the battlefield. Its concise observations have influenced thinking in business, politics, sport and personal strategy, making it one of the most widely read works on strategic thought.
