When asked ’What in your opinion are the important elements in the reading andunderstanding of the Sun Tzu?’ I would say, ‘There are two points to remember whilereading Sun Tzu’. The first point that the reader ought to keep in mind while reading the SunTzu (or ‘The Art of War’) is that the book was written some 2500 years ago by a mannamed Sun Bu. You may find this statement quite obvious?it states a fact that is known to everyone. However, I reiterate my contention that the above is the first important point indeveloping an appreciation of the value of the Sun Tzu.

Let us imagine how long a period of time 2500 years actually is. The time would have been 500BC; Sun Tzu was written 500 years before Jesus Christ was born. Sun Tzu was already anancient work lying in the tombs of kings by the time Jesus Christ lived in the Middle East,seeding his twelve apostles with new words of God which were to become the basis for one ofthe most influential thought systems of human history.

Buddha in India and Confucius in China are said to have lived in almost the same era as SunTzu. The truth, however, shall never be known. Even in China, techniques for accuratelyrecording history were not established until many years later........
