"The Art of War is a Chinese military treatise written during the 6th century BC by Sun Tzu. Composed of 13 chapters, each of which is devoted to one aspect of warfare, it has long been praised as the definitive work on military strategies and tactics of its time. The Art of War is one of the oldest and most famous studies of strategy and has had a huge influence on both military planning and beyond. The Art of War has also been applied, with much success, to business and managerial strategies." (summary from Wikipedia)

Beautiful, and full of wisdom.

What can I say about this book? Well let me start off with saying Wow! Just Wow! I love this book. I have read this book more than six times, and it keeps getting better each time. A 2K year old book that brings multiple teachings and common sense to the table of warfare. It does not matter If you are are business owner in NYC, or a Green beret on an Op in Afghanistan, this book will teach you strategy and give you an insight on leading an army or just yourself. It will also (If you choose to) teach you spiritual motives, not as much so as Miyamoto Musashi's Book of Five Rings, it would seem that these two books would go together hand 'n hand. Overall great read and precise teachings. 6 out of 5 stars. Not to Forget Moira Fogarty, whom I just love to hear, I think did an excellent job of reading.

Nice Reading.

The text is beautifully read, though you can slow down a bit. All these texts had an inner meaning but the speed of reading doesn't leave much time for the reader to ponder upon.
