Sunzi's Art of War - World's most famous Military Classic

Historians refer to the period from 770 BC to 476 BC in Chinese history as the Spring and Autumn Period. This period was one of drastic social and economic changes, complex political rivalry, frequent military struggles, and brilliant academic and cultural advancement. This was the interim of Chinese civilization between its ancient and medieval periods.

Sun Wu, later honoured as "The Great Military Sage" and titled Sunzi, was born during this period of upheavals and dramatic changes. Rising to the occasion, he devoted himself to fight in the raging battles - fierce struggles in arms and in blood, pitting his wisdom and military might against his enemy's. Combining the insights he gathered from the battlefield with brilliant strategies, Sun Wu produced the enduring classic The Art of War, which would greatly influence the world.
