The Art of War

Interesting read. Was curious what everyone was referencing

to protect my president

Theres too many notes and uses too many notes without explaining them very well.

Great book, I recommend reading the entire book !

This version is loaded with notes in between the original work. It makes it very difficult to read the original work straight through. Not a good version.

The book itself is excellent as always, but for the most part, the annotations get in the way of reading.

I have been meaning to read this book. I was not expecting the explanations in it. But at times they were helpful.

How can you go wrong with this book. It is mesmerizing!

Love

Hate the way it’s written

This was truly an interesting read. I would recommend this book for anyone willing to use tactful knowledge in their everyday life, not for malicious use.

I read the book and found it a bit confusing. The different names from one passage to the next and not knowing who said what and in what context ... I was excited to read it but not what I expected.

War has never been a big topic in my conversations; however, after I read this book, I realize life is a war.

Although some of the notes on original text might seem boring and repetitive, the book perfectly captures and easily interprets Sun Tzu's writings to every reader. A must read for anyone eager to understand "strategy of life" and its consequences.

Would've been better without the commentary but it was still very good

This was a very good translation in addition to being an interesting and thoughtful read, the commentary was at many times unnecessary though

This has too many notes and side comments--so much so that over half of the text is side notes!! I downloaded this to read the actual book, not some annoying translator or historian's interpretation and clarifications. Misleading title because it doesn't actually state that you'll have to swim through an extra 200 pages of "related notes" or whatever. Deleting and finding a better more true-to-text copy so I can use my own brain instead of having someone else pop in to interrupt the text lol

This is a roughly translated version, although the information is printed the translator/author produces their insights and verbiage which should've been reserved for the epilogue.

Written for any age of warfare.

Great

When Going To Do Battle,... See Battle Win & Win Battle When First Approaching Battle Field In One’s Mind & Win... Decimating Everyone Of Your Enemies & Everything In Your Path...

Self Achievement Through Willfully Strong Mental Concentration & Determination All The Way To The ‘Battle’s End Game Completion’... War The Art Of: ...A Very Good Book.... I first read this old Chinese Book when I was only 17. I recommend it for all students from & in any course. Get this. Cheers... Danner

It was good but, confusing. You can actually apply this to a lot like sports for instance. I also found some grammar problems where the wrong word was used. Also there are so many Chinese names and there very close to each other which made it hard to understand.

This is a time tested truth of man's bloody conquests.

Good story ruined by poor commentary. Recommend a version other than this. Very annoying

If tupac says this is a good book then it should be a good book

I tried to read this book but I could not tell what was the narration, and what was Sun Zhu. Overall, pretty darn BAD!

Aglabuga del mundo

I would much rather have the annotations separate from the text. There are annotations every line or two, and it's impossible to get the flow of the text or process what the author is actually saying with all the interruptions.

This book is amazing. Couldnt keep my eyes off of it :)

I see why it's free. The "commentary" is extremely annoying. I am capable of understanding and forming my own opinion, thanks.
