The Art of War

Sun Tzu’s Legendary Victory Manual Comes to Life.
“All warfare is based on deception. Therefore, when capable of attacking, feign incapacity; when active in moving troops, feign inactivity. When near the enemy, make it seem that you are far away; when far away, make it seem that you are near.” – Sun Tzu

Sun Tzu was the Nostradamus of warfare and his book Art of War, written 2,400 years ago is still the ultimate how-to guide for winning at war. This feature-length special from 'History' weaves together the epic story of Sun Tzu himself, and relives a war in which his tactics saved a city from defeat – a victory at war that paved the way toward the unification of China.
