Sun Tzu on the Art Of War
I’d been looking for this for a while and finally found the time to really search for it
“Sun Tzu on the Art Of War” is a classical Chinese text on military strategy.
That said, it’s use has not been limited to military subjects only. The first time I came in to contact with this work was in my studies on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). One of my teachers compared the invasion of the human body by diseases and the treatment of patients to military strategy using excerpts from this text.
Besides that, some “new” (after 490 BC) texts on TCM even mention Sun Tzu’s texts.

In my life as an information security consultant, I sometimes use excerpts from Sun Tzu’s work in my classes and advisory reports, because they very much apply to today’s fight agianst threats.
You can download the text right here. I couldn’t find any legal reason not to post it; the creating company of this PDF does not seem to exist anymore. Please let me know if I’m wrong before suing me?
