Sun Tzu (544 BCE-496 BCE), a tactician of the ancient Chinese state of Wu, wrote the Art of War.

He wrote the Art of War so as to provide a form of general guidelines for future descendents and generals. When Sun Tzu was alive, many generals just relied on sheer numbers and "honorable" front attacks coupled with a few formations.

Sun Tzu was one of the first "modern" tacticians, and utilized a union of rationality and innovation. He used many new strategies at the time, including but not limited to: standardized spy networks, dispersing one's army in face of superior numbers (very unusual), meritocracy, and so forth.
