The only surviving source on the life of Sun Tzu is the biography written on the 2nd century BC by the historian Ssu-ma Ch'ien, who describes him as a general who lived in the state of Wu on the 6th century BC. However, the biography is not consistent with other sources about the period, and both the form and content of the book indicate that it was most likely written between 400 BC and 320 BC<br>
<br>
An English translation of the work:<br>
Ssu-ma Ch'ien, Records of the grand historian of China. Translated from the Shih chi of Ssu-ma Ch'ien by Burton Watson. New York: Columbia University Press 1961.<br>
