Author : Sun Tzu

The original name of Sun Tzu is Sun Wu. He also had the Chinese courtesy name Chang Qing. Sun Tzu lived in Le’an in Qi State, present-day Shandong, between BC 544 and BC 470. In his lifetime, he was famous as a military strategist and politician. As the founder of eastern military science, Sun Tzu instructed the leaders of hundreds of armies. Because of this book, The Art of War, he was appointed general in the State of Wu, around modern-day Suzhou, and there, together with Wu Zixu, he led a successful military campaign against the State of Chu, now part of Henan province. He led his forces to five consecutive victories, defeating Chu’s armies of 600,000 with only 30,000 soldiers. These outstanding achievements, gaining superiority against unequal odds to achieve more with less, have gone down in Chinese military history.

Key Insights from The Art of War

Understanding your enemy is crucial to victory; knowledge of both oneself and one's opponent allows for strategic advantages. Sun Tzu emphasizes that neglecting this insight can lead to unnecessary losses and failed objectives.
Flexibility in strategy is important; one must adapt to the ever-changing dynamics of conflict. Being too rigid can lead to defeat, while those who can adjust their plans in response to new situations often prevail.
Preparation and discipline are vital for success; a well-organized army with a solid plan increases the chances of triumph in battles. An unprepared force, no matter how brave, is unlikely to overcome strategic disadvantages.
