Given the peculiarly personal acumen and insight that inform Sun Tzu's brief, sometimes enigmatic, but always practical <i>Art of War </i>. . . we are surely reading the words of an acutely intelligent military man with a subtle, original mind and a wealth of experience all his own." <br> --from the Introduction by Peter Harris<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>SUN TZU was a Chinese general, military strategist, and philosopher who lived in China in the 6th century BC. Sun Tzu is traditionally credited as the author of <i>The Art of War</i>, a widely influential work of military strategy that has affected both Western and Eastern philosophy. Sun Tzu is revered in China as a legendary historical figure. His birth name was Sun Wu; the name Sun Tzu by which he is best known is an honorific that means Master Sun. <p/>PETER HARRIS is a specialist in the political and cultural history of China. He is the founding Director of the Asian Studies Institute at Victoria University, Wellington, New Zealand, and a Visiting Professor at Nanjing University, China. He has written, edited and translated numerous books on China and Asia.
