The Art of War is a book attributed to Sun Tzu, who is revered as a legendary historical military figure, as well as a philosopher, and whose real name is Sun Wu.
“The supreme Art of War is to subdue the enemy without fighting” – Sun Tzu.
The Art of War is not only concerned with modern warfare, but also spreads and influences the mindset of people in politics, games, and business. It presents a sort of philosophy, a state of mind or psychology for managing conflicts and winning battles. It is closely tied to the philosophy of Taoism, which follows the Tao or “The Way”. This short book covers most elegantly the strategies that one ought to bear in mind for the defeat of the enemy.
