Here is what people are saying about the The Art of War
5 Star Rating  "The Art of War"2009-11-05
- Reviewed By User: A34A5LL6PINIKR
I purchased this book at my local Borders Bookstore, and after reading the text, was very happy to have spent the price it is worth. There were two people on this page, who gave the book low ratings. After reading what they had to say, I can tell you that they don't understand "The Art of War", or how to apply it to our life today. You see philosophy isn't just books written to give you an easy path through life. No! Philosophy is meant to get the reader thinking and to take what was said and learned before and apply it to their life today. Sort of like what Bruce Lee said, "absorb what is useful". This means take what applies to your life, or what you can use in your life, and forget about the rest, it doesn't matter to you. I would recommend this book for those who are interested in Chinese history, military history, and philosophy. No matter what you are interested in, you won't go wrong by buying this book.

5 Star Rating  "One of the most important military books in history"2009-10-04
- Reviewed By armyaviator
The Warring States period Warring States Period 475-221 BCE is a history of constant warfare, of alliances and counter-alliances, and of treaties made and broken. The nature of warfare evolved during the period. During the Warring States period, political stability was impossible to gain by adventurous military action. With the advent of swelling ranks of soldiers, protracted sieges, and an ever increasing drain on state treasuries, warfare became a serious matter for study.

Thus, the opening remark of "The Art Of War" states--without exaggeration--war had become the most serious business of the state, the key to survival or ruin. The author of this and other pithy aphorisms on how to successfully fight a war was Sun Tzu. Sun Tzu scholars place his writing "The Art of War" in the Warring States Period, based on the descriptions of warfare in the text. The book has received great exposure in the west starting in the eighteenth century after being translated by a French missionary. It has been reported that Napoleon studied the text and effectively put many of its teachings to good use. For the past 2,000 years, it has been the most important military treatise in all of Asia, even known by name with the common people. Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese military figures have studied it and employed its concepts to good effect. This is especially evident in the military tactics of 20th century revolutionaries like Mao Zedong and Ho Chi Minh.

The book is comprised of 13 chapters. The thesis of Sun's work is one should employ an army after a thorough analysis mandated by careful planning and the formulation of an overall strategy before embarking on a campaign. Sun emphasizes rational self-control, influenced by Daoist teachings throughout the book.

Chap 1-Laying Plans
18. All warfare is based on deception. 19. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.

Chap 6-Weak Points And Strong
8. Hence that general is skillful in attack whose opponent does not know what to defend; and he is skillful in defense whose opponent does not know what to attack.

The best translation is the Samuel B. Griffith edition

 
5 Star Rating  "Good Read"2009-08-17
- Reviewed By User: A14OG85Y77RQVY
This is a good read with many proverbs and sayings that are still applicable to modern times. Sun Tzu is vague, and it for that very reason that this book is ever-lasting.

Also recommended: The 36 strategies, The book of five rings (Go Rin No Sho), and the Hagakure.
