Customer Reviews

Simple enough for even an Amazon reviewer to understand
This is *the* classic work on military theory and practice. There is no rival so compact and yet complete. It should be required reading and understanding for any member of the armed services and for all Amazon reviewers.

Personally, I prefer the Giles translation (0486425576) but I had to comment here to counter some of the unstudied comments made to date. In the case of Sun Tzu, smaller is better. Other translations are packed with the commentary of people trying to explain what Sun Tzu meant. It is far better to study Sun Tzu and think for yourself first, then see what others had to say. Try not to overanalyze too soon or you will miss the simple yet profound insight of this most brilliant of military thinkers.

Too Small
Alot of the important writings were left out of this book. It was a bad idea not to read the review before buying.

Beware - This is a MINIATURE Book !
Sun Tzu's Art of War is a great classic. This teenie-weeny LITTLE book doesn't do it justice. They should pay YOU $4.95 to take it.
