The Laws of War by Sun Tzu (literally translated as the world-famous Art of War) is an ancient (over 2500 years old!) Chinese treatise attributed to the general and strategist Sun Tzu, who lived in the late Chunqu period or early Zhangguo period. Do not think that this text is just an echo of ancient times, interesting only to historians. Instead, it is still being studied today, for example, in the US army, in philosophy and political science departments at leading universities around the world. Sun Tzu considered war a necessary evil. It is desirable to wage war quickly to avoid economic losses and gradually growing internal resistance (opposition of the nobility and discontent of the population), or to wage it on the enemy's territory to use their resources rather than one's own. He believed that strategy was not planning in the sense of working according to a prepared list of tasks, but rather that it required a quick and adequate response to changing conditions. Therefore, this treatise is not so much about military action as it is about organising the thinking and masses of people.
