Despite being written so long ago, the theories expressed within The Art of War are still considered shrewd and penetrating, and are used today as a source of insight into office politics, business management and corporate strategy. The lessons in the text can be applied to many areas of life.
Sun Tzu (544-496BC) was a Chinese general and political adviser who lived during the Spring and Autumn period of ancient China. Wu Qi (440-381BC) was a military leader and politician who lived during the Warring States period. The most ancient writer of this collection, Taigong, was a noble who helped to overthrow the Shang dynasty in China in the 11th century BC.
