Abstract
Military scholars and historians generally credit the first writing that describes what we now title the principles of war to Sun Tzu, a Chinese general who, in 490 BC, wrote on the art of war. Whilst not adopting the high-sounding term ‘principles’ Sun Tzu described a number of crucial elements that he believed it vital to consider when preparing for, and waging, war. The art of war is of vital importance to the State. It is a matter of life and death, a road to either safety or ruin. Hence it is a subject of inquiry which can on no account, be neglected.’1KeywordsMilitary CommanderCruise MissileForward AreaSupersonic AircraftChinese GeneralThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
