Little is known about Sun-tzu (544-496 B.C.) and his life during the Warring States period after the decline of the Zhou dynasty, but his classic work, The Art of War, has been one of the central works of Chinese literature for 2500 years. John Minford (editor/translator/introducer) is the translator of the acclaimed Penguin Classics edition of I, Ching and a professor of Chinese at the Australian National University in Canberra.
