    Sun Tzu

    Sun Tzu was a an ancient Chinese general during the latter part of the Spring and Autumn Period. Also referred to as Sunzi or Sun Wu, the great Chinese philosopher and military general was revered by many generations of Chinese leaders to come. His given military name, "Sun Tzu" translates as "master sun", and was thought to be an honorific title. It has been speculated Sun Tzu wrote The Art of War during the Warring States Period, when China was divided and war was imminent. His profound insight on military strategy and expert leadership inspired nearly all who read his work, earning him a spot in history as one of the greatest military generals of all time.

      Timeless is the best word to describe this book. Sun Tzu offers an engaging and intelligent guide to the wars of long ago and thought provoking philosophies for the battles we face even here in modern times. We may not fight with swords anymore but his wisdom rings true even today.

      A good example of the best of Chinese 'wisdom' literature that distills thought and experience down to simple declarative sentences. It's so different from the west's gaseous and bloated writings from law and academia that pass for learning. It could use some editing and trimming and some amplifications and explanations and concise commentary to make it nearly perfect.
