Sun
Tzu (The art of War) was written by Sun Mo in The Spring and Autumn Period
(B.C. 512), which is roughly the same period as Confucius. Sun Mo's
father was a senior officer in the military establishment, which helped to
develop his interest in tactical warfare at an early age and lead him to
become an expert in the military field. |

|
He
was introduced to the emperor of Wu Kingdom by Wu Gi Xu to explain his art
of war theories. Having successfully demonstrated the military strategies
with the emperor's royal concubines at the emperor's request, the
emperor eventually agreed to employ him as his General.
