Sun Tzu's classic is profound and lucid. Although ostensibly on military strategy, it is a treatise on the command of a hierarchical organisation in the face of conflict, and as such is invaluable in the worlds of modern politics and business. We present the definitive translation, by Lionel Giles, of the British Museum.

As a work from home mom of two, who has never been to war and likely never will, I found this book fascinating. Even from no knowledge of war, other than basic history lessons, it's incredible how simple war really is. I think like all things in life we have a tendency to overcomplicate situations and their solutions. Most of what the general shares can be applied not only to war strategy, but to strategy in any conflict. It's a very quick read and because of that I would recommend that everyone read it.
