Sun Tzu's Art of War is a short Chinese treatise on strategy, leadership, and the conduct of war, traditionally dated to the late Spring and Autumn period. It treats planning, deception, terrain, and the use of spies as matters of judgment rather than mere force.
This recording uses the 1910 translation by Lionel Giles and presents the thirteen chapters of the treatise itself, without later commentaries. Long read as a work of military thought, it has also been studied as a guide to planning and conflict in other fields.
