Thirteen short chapters on strategy, written in China around the fifth century BC, covering planning, terrain, the use of spies, the handling of troops and the economics of a campaign. The governing idea is that the best victory costs nothing because the battle is never fought.

It is read now well beyond the military, in business and negotiation, because its arguments are about information, position and timing rather than weapons.

Why Sun Tzu rates winning without fighting above any victory achieved in battle.
Know yourself and know the other side: what the maxim actually claims about outcomes.
How terrain and position are used to make a confrontation unnecessary.
The treatment of deception and information as the decisive resources in a conflict.
Why he insists on the cost of a long campaign, and what that implies about protracted disputes.
How the text transfers to negotiation and competition outside a military setting.
