This Chinese Classic is widely regarded as the oldest military treatise in the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe most basic of sun Tzu’s principles for the conduct of war is that “All warfare is based on deception.” It emphasizes the unpredictability of battle, the importance of deception and surprise, the close relationship between politics and military policy, and the costs of war. The ineffectiveness of seeking hard and fast rules and the subtle paradoxes of success are important themes. The best battle, says Sun Tzu, is the battle that is won without being fought.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSun Tzu and his principles for the conduct of warfare have been the subject of serious study the world over.
