Sun Tzu: Chinese General, Military Strategist, Writer, and Philosopher

Sun Tzu was a Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher who lived in the Eastern Zhou period. He is best known for his book, The Art of War, which is considered one of the most influential works on military strategy and tactics ever written. The book emphasizes the importance of planning and preparation, and the use of intelligence and deception to gain advantage over an enemy.
