Read the passage below and answer the following questions that are based on your understanding
of the passage.
War” was not to glamorize warfare but to instruct military thinkers and leaders in the best way to
end an armed conflict as rapidly as possible or even better to prevent the outbreak of war in the
first place. When Sun Tzu spoke of victory, this is what he meant-the prevention or quick
resolution of conflict, not the conquering of your opponent.
For Sun Tzu, the fundamental mechanism to ending conflict is to achieve a massive imbalance of
power and resources over your opponent, and then to leverage that imbalance so sklfully and
decisively that your foe is utterly overwhelmed and chooses to surrender rather than fight.
Despite the book’s title, it is more about wisdom than about combat.
(a) Those who win every battle are not really skilful – those who render other’s armies helpless
without fighting are the best of all.
(b) So the rule is not to count on opponents not coming but to rely on having ways of dealing with
them.
