Thirteen chapters on both the tactical and strategic aspects of battle are found in Sun Tzu's The Art of War, a military classic from pre-modern China. The Art of War offers a comprehensive analysis of how to behave in conflict as well as, more importantly, how to win. What characteristics distinguish a powerful army? What strategy should we use while confronting the opposition in an "enclosed terrain"? And how should we employ spies to gather intelligence or disseminate "false news"?
