Perhaps the most legendary doctrine on military strategy worldwide, The Art of War is largely attributed to Sun Tzu, a high-ranking Chinese general and strategist who lived during the sixth century BCE. Ever since it was written, this ancient text has spread like wildfire - it has been adapted into several different languages over the past 2,500 years, allowing it to inform both Eastern and Western military thinking. Not only that, but business owners, politicians and leaders in other modern fields have found meaningful advice in this piece, as well. This adaptation of The Art of War would make a great companion piece to a lesson covering early Asian traditions.
