"The Art of War" is a military treatise that is attributed to Sun Tzu, a military strategist of the ancient Chinese State of Wu. Composed of 13 chapters, each of which is devoted to one aspect of warfare, the text is said to be the definitive work on military strategy and tactics in its time, and is still read for its military insights. Among other “indirect” methods, Sun Tzu emphasized the importance of out positioning opponents, both physically and mentally.
