Synopsis

The Art of Tactics: Winning Strategies of Wu Zi was written by Wu Qi. This is the man who was praised by famed Legalist Li Li for surpassing even Sima Rangju and Sun Zi. His intelligence and ability to translate strategies into action enabled him to fell the 500,000 strong Qin forces with just 50,000 men. He also strengthened Chu by undertaking bold and unpopular reforms like abolishing the entitlements of the nobles and streamlining the public sector. Like Sun Zi's Art of War, The Art of Tactics has long been valued as a cornerstone of Chinese military thought. Outlining general strategies for resolving knotty tactical situations, it delves into topics like evaluating the enemy, expending the least resources to obtain victory, planning for the state, controlling the army and the four vital points in general warfare. Timeless principles for responding to change, selecting strategies, nurturing culture and virtue, building trust and stimulating one's followers are also explored.
