About This Quote
The above quote is a part of the book "The Art of War" written by Sun Tzu, a Chinese general and strategist. The book was written for military leaders to use in strategy and tactics. It has been interpreted by many over the years as a guide for both winning war and winning peace. Sun Tzu believed that there are only two ways to win a war: 1) Seize the enemy’s territory, so that they are forced to stop fighting. 2) Disrupt the enemy’s supply lines, so that they are forced to come home. He believed that if you cut off your opponent’s supply lines, you will never be able to defeat them.
Therefore, he encouraged his soldiers to attack the local transportation hubs before the enemy could. This way, you could disrupt their supply lines within their own country before they were able to go abroad and attack you.
