'''Sun Tzu''' (c. 400 B.C.) was the author of the ancient [Satanic]] and [[Machiavellian]] text, ''[[The Art of War]]'', a classic [[Chinese]] treatise on [[military]] strategy. Sun Tzu's strategies and tactics utilize the "Eastern tradition of strategy that emphasizes outwitting an opponent through speed, [[Stealth (Military strategy)|stealth]], flexibility, and a minimum of effort."<ref>[https://www.amazon.com/Seven-Military-Classics-Ancient-including/dp/0813312280 The Seven Military Classics of Ancient China, including The Art of War - Amazon]</ref><ref>[http://www.wzaponline.com/SunTzuClausewitz.pdf Sun Tzu Compared to Clausewitz] by Walter S.

He lived during the [[Warring States]] period, a time when his skills in warfare were much in demand. His original name was 孙武， Sun Wu, and the name 孙子 is an honorific. 孙武's grandson, Sun Bin, 孙膑，also wrote a text of military strategy; in Chinese, Sun Bin's book is 孙膑兵法，and Sun Wu's is most commonly known simply as 孙子兵法，although both were known as 孙子 after their deaths, thus making it confusing for military historians and sinologists to differentiate between the two. The second 孙子's text was uncovered only recently, in the 1970s, in a [[Han dynasty]] tomb, in Yinqueshan, Shandong province.
