EL ARTE DE LA GUERRA - LIBRO G 1.2.0-full

Sun Tzu was a Chinese general who lived around the 5th century BC. The collection of essays on the art of war attributed to him is the oldest known treatise on the subject. Despite its ancient origins, Sun Tzu's advice remains relevant today.

The Art of War is often regarded as the premier strategy book of all time. It has inspired historical figures such as Napoleon, Machiavelli, and Mao Tse Tung, among others. This text, over two thousand five hundred years old, stands as one of the most significant classics in Chinese literature. Remarkably, none of its maxims have become outdated, and every piece of advice it offers retains practical utility in contemporary contexts. However, Sun Tzu's work transcends mere military practice; it serves as a profound treatise on the supreme strategy of wisely applying knowledge of human nature in confrontational scenarios. Rather than merely focusing on warfare, it delves into understanding the roots of conflict and seeking resolution. Sun Tzu asserts, “The best victory is to win without fighting,” illustrating the distinction between the wise and the ignorant.
