{{quote|''War is a matter of vital importance to the state; a matter of life and death, the road either to survival or ruin. Hence, it is imperative that it be studied thoroughly.''|'''Sun Tzu'''}}
There was once a general so renowned that he not only knew Every Trick in the Book, he ''wrote'' the book.
The archetypal [[Big Book of War]], ''The Art of War'' (孫子兵法, Sūn Zǐ Bīng Fǎ) is a short Chinese text on warfare, written by Sun Tzu, believed to have been a general in the Wu army during the Spring and Autumn Period (722–481 BC). In it, Sun described how best to command troops, and how to go about attaining victory in any condition.
