Sun Tzu: Art of War

Posted on 27 Mar 2009 In: News

I bought a book on back in 1992 out of curiosity (the internet access was a privilege then and you must be a Master’s student to use it). This book was written during the 6th century BC by a Chinese military general named 1 (also known as Sun Wu2). The book has 13 chapters and each chapter deals with a certain aspect of warfare such as planning attacks, formation & army maneuvers.

3 reasons why I initially thought that this book is a piece of garbage

  • We are in 21st century now and the book should be in a museum. (This book was written during 6th century BC – that’s more than 2000 years ago).
  • We are not military generals
  • We are not engaged in a war

 3 reasons why now I think this book is invaluable

  • The book may be old but the tactics / strategies are still relevant 
  • The strategies & tactics can be adapted for office politics, negotiation etc
  • It is proven to work (as long as you know what you are doing)

 You can read the at http://www.sonshi.com/learn.html & have fun reading it. The book is easy to read but difficult to comprehend.
