The Art of War by Sun Tzu

Written in the 5th century BCE, The Art of War is a timeless Chinese military treatise attributed to the strategist Sun Tzu. Composed of 13 concise chapters, each explores a different facet of warfare—from planning and terrain to leadership, deception, and morale. But its influence reaches far beyond the battlefield.
