The book is divided into thirteen chapters and there is historical evidence to prove that it was written over a period of time and perhaps with many borrowings and collaborations with other similar works of the period However it was also heavily criticized by generations of scholars and thinkers in later centuries as it advocated deception and spying as accepted strategies in war Many scholars have also doubted whether a figure such as Sun Tzu existed at all and have found several inaccuracies in terms of the timeframe in which the book was supposed to have been written Many feel that the original work may have undergone several revisions over the centuries before being consolidated in its present form Whatever the nature of these opinions The Art of War remains a fascinating valuable and extremely interesting work
