"The art of war is of vital importance to the State," writes General Sun Tzu at the outset of one of the most important military treatises ever written. Furthermore, he writes, war can lead to safety or ruin and must not be engaged in lightly-it is a matter of life and death. What follows is a terse, sober analysis of the successful planning and conduct of war, which is as pertinent in the twenty-first century as it was in China 2,500 years ago. Within these pages, Sun Tzu explores: The five fundamental facets of war and the seven elements that determine outcomes War economy and limiting the cost of conflict The importance of unity, discipline, alliances, and cities Strategic defense and the recognition of offensive opportunities Flexibility in responding to changing circumstances Fighting wars without having to do battle The five sources of intelligence and how to use them As notable for its insights into motivating people and knowing one's opponent as for its emphasis on preparedness, flexibility, and understanding the environment, The Art of War has become an important resource for modern business people, trial lawyers, and sports teams-as well as for military leaders.

The Art of War is one of the oldest and most successful books on military strategy in the world. It has had a huge influence on Eastern military thinking, business tactics, and beyond. Sun Tzu recognized the importance of positioning in strategy and that position is affected both by objective conditions in the physical environment and the subjective opinions of competitive actors in that environment. He taught that strategy was not planning in the sense of working through a to-do list, but rather that it requires quick and appropriate responses to changing conditions. Planning works in a controlled environment, but in a competitive environment, competing plans collide, creating unexpected situations. The Art of War has also been applied to business and managerial strategies.

L'art de la guerre est le premier traité de stratégie au monde. Rédigé vers le Ve siècle avant J.-C., il développe des thèses originales, qui s'inspirent de la philosophie chinoise ancienne. Considérant la guerre comme une réalité inévitable, il montre comment la réflexion peut mener à la victoire, comment l'analyse des faiblesses de l'ennemi peut fonder une tactique, si l'on sait les exploiter, et même les aggraver ; il met l'accent sur la dimension psy­cho­logique du combat, sur le rôle de la ruse et de la fuite. Ses idées, ignorées dans les époques de guerre totale et de conflits frontaux, ont retrouvé une actualité en inspirant les grandes guérillas anti-coloniales chinoises et vietnamiennes, notamment, et sont aujourd'hui reprises par les stratèges asiatiques et américains de la guerre économique.
