Sun Tzu's 'The Art Of War' Online

Now we can return the book to the library and you can read the book whenever without late fees accruing.

Sun Tzu, born around 500 B.C., was a Chinese general, military theorist, and philosopher. He is the author of the world's first and potentially most long-lived work of military theory, The Art of War, also known as The Thirteen Chapters.

Sun Tzu was the first to set out what we would now recognize as principles of war: moral influence, weather, terrain, command, and doctrine. The first meant the trust of people in their leaders. By 'command' he meant the qualities and ability of the general and by 'doctrine' he meant organization, command and control, and logistics.
