What a curious book. I listened to a reading of it and so my reading could scarcely be called more than an overview. This short book is definitely one to be read contemplatively and over a long time. (  ) Mattmcmanus | Aug 23, 2018 |  A very quick read of a classic. I had always been meaning to get around to this book, and I did not realize how short it was. The version I have contains more commentary than the actual writing, and I did not bother with the commentary. The book is basically a series of maxims that describe how to lead as a general at war. I think its appeal is universal, and many of the ideas can be applied as strategic thinking in other aspects of life. I don't think it was all that profound, but then again, its ideas have been used for centuries. It was nice to be able to read where a lot of them came from.

Read everything, nothing is outdated -- Gottfried. gottfried_leibniz | Apr 5, 2018 | Art of war starts with strategic assessments. strategic assessment chapter is based on stragite telling the reader what is bested to do in some situations.For example "show the enemy that your going the long way when your really going the short way and vise versa". The next chapter is on doing battle. It talks about or debates about if it beater for the plan of attack to be made at base or on the field. at the end it says "its best to have a plan and then there is room for adjustments".This book is recommended for military leaders. paragraph #2 my interpretation of this book titled Art of War is i loved it. It tell really well strategic assessments. i'm no military leader but playing outside like a war game this would be good. i also thought if this was like real thing that those leaders said.sometimes its hard to under stand but read it the line a cuple of times and it will be clear .i rated it a four only because of age. age as in saying for me as a kid it useless info.

Sun Tzuova knjiga Umeće ratovanja, je jedno od najznačajnijih klasičnih kineskih dela. Ova knjiga ne sadrži ni jednu zastarelu maksimu ili nejasno uputstvo. Najbolje je pobediti bez borbe, rekao je Sun Tzu. Za njega je rat bio sastavni deo života. Pažljivo pročitajte ovu knjigu, i sve savremene knjige koje govore o upravljanju državom više vam se neće činiti dostojne pažnje.  Ralph Sawyer has produced a lively translation, with a historical essay and explanatory notes, of Sun-tzu’s classic work. [...] Sun-tzu has nothing to teach us about the technological aspects of war or the logistics required to feed a modern army, and his work obviously cannot speak to certain complex political relations between modern nations. But Sun-tzu’s book has much value, for it says a lot about how a commander should approach his enemy, how he should decide to attack or to retreat, how to outsmart an enemy, and what it takes to be victorious. He presents his ideas in a logical, principled way that is consistent with his deeper philosophy of nature. Is contained inRoots of Strategy by Wilhelm Leeb The Seven Military Classics of Ancient China, including The Art of War by Ralph D. Sawyer Has as a commentary on the text
