Sun Tzu's 'The Art Of War' Online




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.

The Art of War is now online as a PDF document. LINK

  3. Hello lllt, thanks a million..

    My personal blog (no high expectations, I'm very new to this) is http://xeper.wordpress.com

    but I am starting another one for my work as trainer and consultant in Strategic Action (it's a methodology I am developing to help entrepreneurs and professionals work on their strategy without the hassle I find "Consultancies" put their clients through.) It's basically Sun Tzu adapted to business and personal development.
    The blog is still under construction (my friends dont know about it yet) but since it's what made me find you and I will link to you from both blogs (for sun tzu from this but for other from the other things the one) youre welcome to visit the construction site on http://strategicaction.wordpress.com

    I'd appreciate your feedback since you have more experience in this, and since it is clear we have many common interests.

    Blogging is making me chattier on the net it seems :)
