In 1772, "The Art of War" was translated into French by missionaries, and a book of military theory that had influenced China for more than two thousand years was officially introduced into the Western world. In 1910, Lionel Giles translated the first English version of "The Art of War". Until today, there are as many as twenty or thirty English translation versions. Among them, the one that best conveys the original meaning of "The Art of War" belongs to the version translated by Samuel B. Griffith in 1963. However, even with this version, the true meaning of the "The Art of War" that it can convey is actually only about 50%.

O autorze
About 512 BC, Sun Tzu wrote "The Art of War" and dedicated it to the king Helu. In 506 BC, Sun Tzu led the army of the Wu Kingdom with 30,000 troops to defeat the army of the Chu Kingdom with 200,000 troops, and captured the capital of Chu, Ying city, forcing King Zhao of Chu to flee. This war shocked the whole world because, at that time, the most powerful country in the world was the Chu. After that, the thirteen chapters of "The Art of War" began to influence the wars in Chinese history.
