The Art of War

Focusing on military strategy and tactics, this classic work delves into the principles of warfare as articulated by Sunzi and Wutzu. Set in a fragmented China, it outlines essential guidelines for engaging in war, including when to initiate conflict, effective conduct during battles, and ethical treatment of adversaries to achieve victory. Translated by Captain Everard Ferguson Calthrop, it remains a significant text in understanding Eastern military philosophy and the complexities of conflict.
