What this book is about
Sun Tzu's The Art of War, composed in ancient China around the 5th century BC, consists of thirteen short chapters covering strategy, deception, terrain, and troop management. Though written as military doctrine, it has been applied across centuries to business, negotiation, and competition of every kind. Its terseness belies the complexity of ideas encoded within it.
