The Art of War (album)

The Art of War (album)

Sun Tzu, the great Chinese military strategist, wrote The Art of War in the fifth century BC. The ancient treatise contains 13 chapters, each devoted to different aspects of warfare: strategy, discipline, weaponry, espionage, and so forth. The text appears in the Seven Military Classics of the Song Dynasty Emperor Shenzong, first published in A.D. 1080. A Jesuit priest translated it into French in 1772; Lionel Giles produced the definitive, annotated English-language edition in 1910. Always popular in ancient and medieval China, The Art of War influenced the thinking of Mao Zedong, Douglas MacArthur, and the brilliant Vietnamese general Võ Nguyên Giáp. This is a bronze Sung Dynasty cash coin from the reign of Shenzong, 1068-1086.
