This work, the writings of Suntzu and Wutzu, Chinese strategists of
about the fifth century B.C., is the most famous work on the art of war
in the Far East. It deals with operations of war, statecraft, moral
and training of troops, stratagem, the use of spies, etc., and for
twenty-five centuries it has been the bible of the Chinese or Japanese
ruler. The book is distinguished alike by the poetry and grandeur of
its language and the modernity of its spirit.
