Sun Tzu - General - Military Strategist - Author of "The Art of War"

On this episode of Traveling Through History, we dig into the General Sun Tzu from Ancient China and the Warring States period of history.  He is most famous for authoring one of the top 10 books in human history "The Art of War" a book that has had global impact through the ages in all aspects of military, politics, business, sports and other areas of society.

Sun Tzu was a Chinese military general, strategist, philosopher, and writer who lived during the Eastern Zhou period (771–256 BC). Sun Tzu is traditionally credited as the author of The Art of War, an influential work of military strategy that has affected both Western and East Asian philosophy and military thought. Sun Tzu is revered in Chinese and East Asian culture as a legendary historical and military figure.  His birth name was Sun Wu and he was known outside of his family by his courtesy name Changqing.  The name Sun Tzu—by which he is more popularly known—is an honorific which means "Master Sun".

Sun Tzu mastered the military science of ancient China and created the military doctrine of asymmetrical warfare.  According to it, an attack on the enemy should begin only after the enemy has no opportunity to either defend or counterattack.  It was used in the wars in the era of the Warring States in ancient China (about 475–221 BC).  Those combat combinations had specific names, descriptions and classifications.

We take a look at a series of videos about Sun Tzu and "The Art of War", including the great quotes from the book that have lasting impact and a discussion of the practical applications of The Art of War in our daily lives.
