Sun Tzu (544 BC – 496 BC), or  Sunzi, was a Chinese writer known for his collection of aphorisms on military strategy called ''The Art of War''. He stressed psychological dominance over the enemy, using deception and making use (in Taoist terms) of the opportunities afforded by geography.  Chinese military strategists before 1200 AD often cited his work, as did [[Mao Zedung]]. Apart from the martial arts community his ideas were practically  unknown outside China before the 20th century,<ref>[http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/132 see the 1910 translation by Lionel Giles at]</ref> and received little notice before the 1960s. Since then, however, writers have cherry-picked his aphorisms to support their argument, especially regarding guerrilla warfare.
