The Art Of War, is one of the most prestigious and influential ancient eastern texts. It assumes conflict as an inevitable part of life, and forth, constructs a wise strategy towards victory. The dealing of a conflict wisely and honorably, makes the book the guide to a victorious ending without even fighting. Understanding politics, philosophy, science, economics and physiology of combat strengthen the words, and prepare the paragraphs. War becomes the foremost important assets of a stable and organized nation, well it becomes a matter of simple continuance, as said by Sun Tzu, “Military action is important to the nation –it is the ground of death and life, the path of survival and destruction, so it is imperative to examine it.” (Tzu-Cleary, pp 1).
A state shall measure the combat on five different pillars as stated on The Art Of The War “the five things are the way, the weather, the terrain, the leadership and discipline.” (Tzu-Cleary, pp2). The “way” explains the disposition of the people for battle, or the coherent proper relation of shared aim, between the ruler and its people. The weather and climate have no further interpretation that the logic one, and until the day, commonly understood. The leadership paraphrases, to the rulers attributes and intentions (probably the most discussed) , how he manages the social and political conditions and so forth. At last discipline fulfills the logical, although until now, lacking presence military side. The preparation and training of the soldiers and finally the number of them involved.
The strategic assessments for battle are rooted in the human condition, it resumes as a long-lasting game, were intelligence stands as the decisive judge, and veredict. Being humble, being attentive and last but not least, the “tire them by flight.” Make the perfect and victorious page.
