Definitely a must read...June 10, 2008 I expected the classic book, "The Art of War" to be written similar in the way that "The Prince" was, I was mistaken. In Sun Tzu's book it merely outlines various beliefs he has acquired over time without going much into detail about why to do things a certain way (He basically outlines objectives necessary to winning a war). The book itself seems to be broken into direct statements and is less than 80 pages long (the original that is). This version of the book with commentary I found to be incredibly helpful as it pushed forward the ideas of Sun Tzu while providing additional information about the times and other information that anyone would find helpful who does not have a perfect understanding of how history played out back in those times. I'm definitely happy I purchased this version of the book above others, however, now that I have read this one I would be interested in reading another version with additional commentary.
Really InsightfulMarch 12, 2008 If you plan on going to war, whether it be in your everyday life or literally, this is the book read.
Superb Knowledge for Business and LifeFebruary 28, 2008 Sun Tzu's techniques can be applied in life and in business contexts. The Art of War will give you interesting insights on how to be able to fight competitors and enemies.

The Art of War describes a strategy for winning a game through action and competition. Tao Te Ching describes a strategy for winning a game through inaction and noncompetition. ---by the author of Warren Buffett and Tao Te Ching: A Modern Investor and an Age-Old Philosophy
