Sun Wu (孫武; 544 BCE – 496 BCE),[1] commonly known as Sun Tzu (孫子, i.e. 'Master Sun'), was a Chinese military strategist who lived during the Spring and Autumn period. Traditionally believed to have served King Helü of Wu (r. 514 BCE–496 BCE), he is credited as the author of The Art of War (孫子兵法), one of the most influential treatises on the fundamental principles, stratagems, and logistics of war.[2]
