Review:
For Sun Tzu, warfare is above all a question of psychology, before strategy and tactics come into play.The art of war is the art to deceive: 'Apparent confusion is a product of good order; apparent cowardice, of courage; apparent weakness, of strength'.Sun Tzu is a master of psychological warfare: sap the morale of your enemy and be cleverer (wisdom, not force alone).For him, 'supreme excellence is to subdue the enemy without fighting.'His strategy is based on foreknowledge (spying) in order to know the strength and weaknesses (political, geographical, defensive, offensive) of your enemy. And if you are not strong enough, you should be cleverer through diplomacy.His tactics are flexibility, gaining the initiative and not fighting a protracted war.This text is rightly a classic. People who launch 'preventive wars' should follow a few of Sun Tzu's recommendations.On the other hand, it tells a lot about mankind that one of the first classics of literature doesn't have the title 'The Art of Peace'.
