The Art of War: Complete edition with original illustrations

A Chinese treatise called “The Art of War” contains thirteen chapters on different aspects of waging a successful battle. Its author is the strategist and thinker Sun Tzu. One of the central ideas in “The Art of War” is the concept of winning without direct conflict. This involves strategic maneuvers, psychological tactics, and diplomacy. Though it is a classic work on military strategy, its principles have been widely applied beyond the battlefield and are often considered relevant to other areas of life, including business, leadership, and personal development. “Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak.” “The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.” “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.” Sun Tzu, The Art of War
