Sun Tzu is traditionally credited with The Art of War, an ancient Chinese military treatise organised into short sections on strategy, planning, deception, terrain, intelligence and the management of conflict.

Modern editions vary considerably in translation, commentary and historical framing, and the work is now often read beyond military history in business or leadership contexts. The writing is concise and aphoristic, so explanatory notes can be as important as the core text for modern readers. It fits military strategy, Chinese classics and political thought rather than narrative history. Read more Less
