Sun Tzu

Sun Tzu was a Chinese military general, strategist, philosopher, and writer who lived during the Eastern Zhou period (771–256 BC). He is traditionally credited as the author of The Art of War, a Classical Chinese text on military strategy. While his historical existence is debated, he is revered as a legendary figure in Chinese and East Asian culture. His birth name was Sun Wu, and 'Sun Tzu' is an honorific meaning 'Master Sun'. The Art of War is one of the oldest and most influential treatises on warfare and military strategy, with its principles applied across various fields including business and leadership.
