Although some scholars question the historical existence of Sun Tzu, his teachings have undeniably shaped military and strategic thinking for over two millennia. Traditionally believed to have lived during the Zhou Dynasty around 2,500 years ago, Sun Tzu served as a general for the state of Wu. His ideas inspired military leaders like Vietnam’s Võ Nguyên Giáp, who defeated the French at Dien Bien Phu, and even found applications in sports, exemplified by Luiz Felipe Scolari's 2002 World Cup victory.
Throughout history, the lessons of The Art of War have proved adaptable beyond warfare, influencing revolutionaries, business strategists, and political leaders worldwide.
