sun su , the art of war - By: Mr. J. Holding, 15 Oct 2003 
i found the art of war very informative , & gives you a great insight into the tactics of war , most of the information is still very relavent to todays general , the only thing i found not relevent to today was the fact that the book went into great detail about the types of terrain ,and its usein a battle plan , not so relavent after the introduction of air power .
but a good book all the same . invaluable as part of your collection !
Compact but concise - By: , 01 Oct 2003 The author did an amazing job of cramming the complete Art of War of General Sun-Tzu,in this little book. I have read several versions & have to say this book is worth the money & is defiantly worth a read. I especially enjoyed the section on the tar tars.
Final words, this book is really worth its money.
Wisdom of the ages - By: , 03 May 2003 Cleary's introduction to the text may be overly long but he does make some very valid points as to how to read such classics. Given that the book is sold as a one off I'd say that this is entirely welcomed as it gives the uninitiated reader much more to go on. Keep going back to this book, the more you dip into it the more you get from it. Context is everything though - trying to force yourself to see what is meant is like trying to force blood from a stone. You have just got to keep coming back when the feeling takes you & things start making a whole lot more sense. There is true wisdom within these pages, you just have to be patient with it, it won't all come at once.
