As you wrote, it's more accurate to translate 孙子兵法 as "Sun Zi's Military Strategy".

Calling this book "the Art of War" (l'Art de la guerre) bring us back to the reality of the 18th century in Europe.

Since the beginning of the 20th century, War is no more a form of "Art", especially when there are civilians involved.

PS: For 兵法 see last Qing Wen about 法
