Contents: Sunzi: The Art of War is the
earliest and most valuable treatise on military science extant,
dating from the late Spring and Autumn Period (770－476 B.C.).The
book is a condensation of the experience of warfare in that
historical era, with the emphasis on precautionary and intelligence
strategy.
By revealing the nature and important rules of warfare,
Sunzi: The Art of War has had a tremendous influence on
military, political and philosophical thought in China. Down the
ages it has been called a "military classic," and its author a
"military genius." This work, now over 2000 years old, has been
translated into various languages since the 17th century, and even
today has a profound influence all over the world.
