The Art of War by Sun Tzu
4.7/5
Dating from the late Spring and Autumn period of ancient China (roughly the 5th century BCE), Sun Tzu's The Art of War is a 13-chapter military treatise that Wikipedia describes as one of the most influential works on strategy of all time — a judgment borne out by its continuous use across nearly 2,500 years of military, political, and intellectual history. This Fingerprint reprint edition makes the text newly accessible in hardcover, carrying forward a work whose reach extends far beyond its original battlefield context.
