Publisher's Summary

At the core of this ancient strategy manual is the understanding that conflict is an inescapable part of human life. Since, as Sun Tzu teaches, aggression and response in kind can lead only to destruction, we must learn to work with conflict in a more profound and effective way. Crucial to this strategic vision is knowledge - especially self-knowledge - and a view of the whole that seeks to bring conflicting views into a larger perspective.

The Denma Translation Group's presentation of The Art of War is a meticulously faithful version that carefully preserves the enigmatic quality of the original - allowing us to discover innumerable insights in its lines millennia after this oral tradition was first set down. Line-by-line commentary reveals the broader implications of Sun Tzu's teachings and how they can be applied to everyday circumstances.

:The Sage Commnder

in the book, there was more description and conversation about what and who the "Sage Commander" was and is. This was the only disappointment with this audio book. It was important because the book was structured in a way to get you to assume the persona of the Sage Commander, so the text takes on a new meaning.

Mist pay close attention

I struggled with my inatentiveness. It has a lot to teach. This is a book you can read more than once.
