📖 The Scoop

Sun Tzu The Art Of War - Paperback Edition in 204 pages

Twenty-Five Hundred years ago, Sun Tzu wrote The Art of War, a classic book of military strategy based on Chinese warfare and military thought.

Since that time, all levels of military have used the teaching on Sun Tzu to warfare and civilization have adapted these teachings for use in politics, business and everyday life.

What is more special about this book is, The Art of War is a book where much of the insights can be used in today's fiercely competitive corporate scenarios despite the facts that it was written 2500 years ago by a Chinese general and military strategist.

Sun Tzu was a Chinese general, military strategist, writer and philosopher who lived in the Eastern Zhou period of ancient China.

Sun Tzu is the author of The Art of War, an influential work of military strategy that has affected 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.

Sun Tzu's work has been praised and employed in East Asian warfare since its composition. During the 20th 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.
